HobbyKing HKPilot Mega Mini Flight Controller and Autopilot with Leads (RU Warehouse)

Description

The HKPilot Mega Mini is a complete open source autopilot and flight controller system featuring all the same power and features of its bigger brother.

The HKPilot Mini is creatively redesigned into a much smaller form factor, and yet retains the full functionality and ports from the original, only losing a few analog pins that would not normally be used in a mini sized project. The HKPilot is based on the rapidly evolving and refined Ardupilot mega or “APM”, an open source project from 3DR robotics. This amazing flight controller allows the user to turn any fixed wing, rotary wing, or multi-rotor vehicle (even boats and cars) into a fully autonomous vehicle, capable of performing a wide range of tasks even programmed GPS missions with waypoints (with the optional GPS module). 

Various user interfaces are available for programing, reviewing logs, even some Apps for smart phones and tablets. The optional telemetry radio allows for two way radio communication giving you full control and provides live data back to your computer or tablet. The list of what this flight controller is capable of has quickly been surpassed with what it cannot, with features, flight modes and supported platforms. The APM project is supported by thousands of users pushing this open source flight controller to be one of the best systems available.

The new HKPilot MEGA Mini loses nothing from its bigger brother, but size and weight and a few analog pins, allowing for smaller and lighter vehicles. The mini is just one more step in the HKPilots evolution.
