Description:-
APM 2.8 Multicopter Flight Controller is an upgraded version of 2.5, 2.6; 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 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.
Powerful ground control software features:
