ArduPilot Mega ATMega2560 V1 -Arduino Compatible

Description

ArduPilot Mega ATMega2560 V1 -Arduino Compatible Description : ArduPilot is a fully programmable autopilot that requires a GPS module and IMU sensors to create a functioning Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The autopilot handles both stabilization and navigation, eliminating the need for a separate stabilization system. It also supports a "fly-by-wire" mode that can stabilize an aircraft when flying manually under RC control, making it easier and safer to fly. The hardware and software are all open source. The board comes with all the surface-mount parts already soldered, but requires the user to solder on connectors. Firmware is already loaded, but the autopilot software must be downloaded and loaded onto the board by the user. It can be programmed with the Arduino IDE. APM can be used for either airplanes or rotary wing aircraft, including quadcopters and other multicopters and traditional helicopters. The autopilot hardware is the same, and you can load whichever firmware is appropriate for the aircraft you've got via the free Mission Planner. (You may choose to add other sensors to improve performance for specific airframes, such as an airspeed sensor for airplanes or a magnetometer for mulitcopters). All details and instructions can be found at each project's Home Page. Features : 1、Designed to be used with autonomous aircraft, quadcopters and helis. 2、Based on a 16MHz Atmega2560 processor. 3、Built-in hardware failsafe that uses a separate circuit (multiplexer chip and ATMega328 processor) to transfer control from the RC system to the autopilot and back again. 4、Includes ability to reboot the main processor in mid-flight. 5、Dual-processor design with 32 MIPS of onboard power. 6、Supports 3D waypoints and mission commands (limited only by memory--approximately 600-700 waypoints with current code, but can be adapted for more). 7、128k Flash Program Memory, 8K SRAM, 4K EEPROM. 8、Comes with a 6-pin GPS connector (EM406 style).
