Description APM 2.8 Multicopter Flight Controller is an upgraded version of 2.5, 2.6; with a Built-in Compass for FPV RC Drone. The sensors are exactly the same as the APM 2.6 flight controller; however, the module has the option to use the built-in compass an external compass via a jumper. This makes the APM 2.8 ideal for use with multi-copters and rovers. The APM 2.8 Multicopter Flight Controller is a complete open source autopilot system. This is the best selling technology that won the prestigious Outback Challenge UAV competition. It allows the user to turn any fixed, rotary-wing. In addition, it turns multirotor vehicle (even cars and boats) into a fully autonomous vehicle. meanwhile, it is capable of performing programmed GPS missions with waypoints. APM Flight controller Using the built-in compass: To use the built-in compass simply connect the jumper as shown below. The APM board will use the external compass, during the compass jumper is removed. Powerful ground control software features: The downloadable mission planner software is used to configure and control your Ardupilot board: Point-and-click waypoint entry, using Google Maps. Select mission commands from drop-down menus. Download mission logs files and analyzes them. Configure APM settings for your airframe. Interface with a PC flight simulator to create a full hardware-in-the-loop UAV simulator. See the output from APM’s serial terminal.
