APM 2.6 ArduPilot Mega Multicopter Flight Control Board with uBlox 6M GPS + Case & Bracket

APM 2.6 ArduPilot Mega Multicopter Flight Control Board with uBlox 6M GPS + Case & Bracket

Description:
  This is the latest revision of the ArduPilot Mega boards, this new version makes the boards faster to manufacture, and does away with the bult in GPS module.  This allows you more flexability to choose what GPS module you want to use, and allows you to position the module in the best place on your aircraft, free from interferanced

Included:
- 1xAPM2.6Control Board
- 1xUblox High performance 6M GPS with protect case
- 1xAPM2.6 Protect Case
- 1xGPS Mountingset

Description:
- The APM 2.6 is a complete open source autopilot system and the bestselling technology that won the prestigious 2012 Outback Challenge UAV competition. It allows the user to turn any fixed, rotary wing or multirotor vehicle (even cars and boats) into a fully autonomous vehicle; capable of performing programmed GPS missions with waypoints. Available with top or side connectors.
- This revision of the board has no onboard compass, which is designed for vehicles (especially multicopters and rovers) where the compass should be placed as far from power and motor sources as possible to avoid magnetic interference. (On fixed wing aircraft it's often easier to mount APM far enough away from the motors and ESCs to avoid magnetic interference, so this is not as critical, but APM 2.6 gives more flexibility in that positioning and is a good choice for them, too). This is designed to be used with the 3DR uBlox GPS with Compass (see option below), so that the GPS/Compass unit can be mounted further from noise sources than APM itself.
- APM 2.6 requires a GPS unit with an onboard compass for full autonomy.
- If you are using APM 2.6 with a GPS module that does not have a compass sensor, you must use a stand-alone external compass.  

Features:
- Arduino Compatible!
- Can be ordered with top entry pins for attaching connectors vertically
- Includes 3-axis gyro, accelerometer and magnetometer, along with a high-performance barometer
- Onboard 4 MegaByte Dataflash chip for automatic datalogging
- Optional off-board GPS, uBlox LEA-6H module with Compass.
- One of the first open source autopilot systems to use Invensense's 6 DoF Accelerometer/Gyro MPU-6000.
- Barometric pressure sensor upgraded to MS5611-01BA03, from Measurement Specialties.
- Atmel's ATMEGA2560 and ATMEGA32U-2 chips for processing and usb functions respectively

APM Power:
- The APM 2.5 Power Module is a simple way of providing your APM 2.5 with clean power from a LiPo battery as well as current consumption and battery voltage measurements, all through a 6-pos cable. The on-board switching regulator outputs 5.3V and a maximum of 2.25A from up to a 4S LiPo battery. The Power Module comes completely assembled with Deans connectors, and wrapped in shrink tubing for protection.

Note: The Power Module is only designed to power APM, a RC receiver and APM accessories (GPS, 3DR radio). It is not designed to power servos. Use your aircraft's own ESC/BEC for that.

Specifications:
- Max input voltage: 18V
- Max current sensing: 90A -
- Voltage and current measurement configured for 5V ADC
- Switching regulator outputs 5.3V and 2.25A max
- 6-pos DF13 cable plugs directly to APM 2.5's 'PM' connector
