Product Description
ArduPilot Mega 2.6 Side Entry
Features
ArduPilot Mega 2.6 Side Entry The ArduPilot Mega 2.6 is a
complete open source autopilot system and it was the
technologyused
by the winners of the prestigious 2012 UAV Outback Challenge
& the SparkFun AVC competitions. The ArduPilot Mega 2.6
allowsthe
user to turn any fixed wing, rotary wing or multirotor vehicle
(even cars and boats) into a fully autonomous vehicle; capableof
performing programmed GPS missions with waypoints. The 2.6
ArduPilot Mega revision of the ArduPilot Mega board has
noonboard
compass, which is designed for vehicles (especially multicopters
and rovers) where the compass should be placed as far awayfrompower
cables and motors which are of magnetic interference. On fixed wing
aircraft it's often easier to mount APM far enoughaway
from the motors and ESCs to avoid this magnetic interference, so
this is not as critical, however the Ardupilot Mega allowsmore
flexibility with positioning and is a good choice for all
crafts. The ArduPilot Mega 2.6 is designed to be used with the
3DR
uBlox GPS with Compass, so that the GPS/Compass unit can be
mounted further from noise sources than APM itself.
TheArdupilot
Mega 2.6 requires a GPS unit with an onboard compass for full
autonomy, If you are using the ArduPilot Mega 2.6 with a
GPSmodule
which has no compass sensor, you must use a stand-alone external
compass. We recommend either the Triple Axis
MagnetometerHMC5883L
with this cable DF13 4 Position Connector 19 cm or the HMC5883L
Extenal Compass unit with the 3DR V2 GPS unit. This
newArduPilot
Mega 2.6 system works with the Power Module with integrated 5.3V
regulator and current and voltage sensing to allow a cleanpower
supply to the system. Features: Arduino Compatible. Includes
3-axis gyro, accelerometer and magnetometer,along
with a high-performance barometer. Onboard 4 MegaByte Dataflash
chip for automatic datalogging. Optional off-board GPS,
uBlox LEA-6H module with Compass. One of the first open source
autopilot systems to use Invensense's 6 DoFAccelerometer/Gyro
MPU-6000. Barometric pressure sensor upgraded to MS5611-01BA03,
from Measurement Specialties. Optional off-board GPS,Mediatek
