Introduction

Autopilot is the latest generation of professional flight control systems for multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, capable of fully autonomous flight.

The system has a powerful microcontroller, multiple redundant 9-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) (Gyroscopes, Accelerometers, Magnetometer) with temperature stabilization, integrated telemetry module, and an external module with an integrated magnetometer. SmartAP supports any type of multirotor UAV with outstanding navigation and precision control.

Set Includes

  1. SmartAP PRO Flight Controller main board

  2. External GNSS / Magnetometer module

  3. Ground telemetry module

  4. Onboard telemetry antenna

  5. High-gain ground telemetry antenna

  6. Power input cable

  7. MicroSD card with SD card adapter
