## Description

Flight controller for FPV drones and RC platforms, ideal for multicopters and autonomous aircraft models, ArduPilot and Arduino compatible for flexible configuration. Includes compass for precise navigation and supports connection of a Neo M8N GPS. Integrated 3-axis sensors with barometer for stability and fine control, 4 MB Dataflash for automatic flight logging.
APM 2.8 Flight Controller, ArduPilot Mega, Arduino compatible, ideal for FPV drones and remotely controlled aircraft, offering increased flight performance and precise control for amateurs and professionals. This flight controller offers the possibility of making autonomous model airplanes and multicopters. Models with wheels can also be controlled with this controller (via ArduRover).
It has 4 MB Dataflash for automatic data storage. It offers the option to attach a GPS like the Neo M8N for precise positioning. The processor is based on ATMEGA2560 and ATMEGA32U-2 chips for reliable operation and USB functionality.
Equipped with a 3-axis gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer and high-performance barometer, this controller ensures a smooth and stable flight experience. The configuration of the pins allows vertical or horizontal connection, depending on the user's preferences and the specifics of the equipment.
It integrates the compass through 6M GPS for accurate navigation and positioning, and comes in a semi-transparent plastic case for protection. An anti-vibration plate is recommended to prevent the noise resulting from the vibrations coming from the engine, which can affect the precision of the integrated sensors.
