PixFalcon Micro PX4 Autopilot

Description

The PixFalcon Micro PX4 Autopilot is a high performance module suitable for fixed wing, multi-rotors, helicopters, cars, boats and any other robotic platform that can move. It can be recognised as a scaled down version of the popular PixHawk high end autopilot favoured by high-end researchers, amateurs and industrial designers but it is a more compact and lightweight unit.

It is crammed with all the same features and specifications as its bigger brother but its smaller size makes it more compatible with models and designs that have a limited amount of space.

Features:
• Built in Buzzer
• 168MHz/252MIPS Cortex-M4F
• 14 PWM/servo outputs (8 with failsafe and manual overide, 6 auxilary, high power compatible)
• Abundant connectivity options for addition peripherals (UART, 12C)
• Intergrated backup system for in-flight recovery and manual overide with dedicated processor and stand-alone power supply (fixed wing use)
• Backup system integrates mixing, providing consistent autopilot and manual overide mixing modes (fixed wing use)
• Onboard safety switch and external safety switch
• Multi-color LED visual indicator
• MicroSD card for high rate logging over extended periods of time

Specs (Processor):
• 32bit STM32F427 Cortex M4 Core with FPU
• 168MHz
