The APM 2.8 Flight Controller is a widely used open-source autopilot system that provides a comprehensive set of features for controlling the flight and navigation of drones, including multirotors, fixed-wing aircraft, and other UAVs. It includes advanced sensors, such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, and a built-in compass, and can be configured to work with a variety of airframes.
Package Includes:
1 xAPM2.8 board Built-in compass
1 xshock Absorber+Power module
1 x7M GPS
1 xGPS holder
5 x 10CM 30core JR Male to Male servo wire
Key Features:
Versatile Compatibility:Â APM 2.8 is compatible with various types of drones, including quadcopters, hexacopters, octocopters, traditional planes, and other unmanned aircraft.
Advanced Sensors:
Accelerometer:Â The accelerometer measures acceleration forces and helps maintain level flight and stability.
Gyroscope:Â The gyroscope detects rotational motion and contributes to precise attitude control.
Built-in Compass:Â The integrated compass provides reliable heading information, allowing the autopilot to maintain a consistent heading and navigate accurately.
GPS Integration:Â APM 2.8 supports external GPS modules, enabling features like waypoint navigation, return-to-home (RTL), and geofencing. GPS data is also used for accurate position estimation.
Barometer:Â Some versions of APM 2.8 include a barometer for measuring altitude, enabling functions like altitude hold and terrain following.
On-Screen Display (OSD):Â It supports an OSD system for real-time telemetry data, including altitude, airspeed, voltage, and more, which can be displayed on FPV goggles or monitors.
Configurable Flight Modes:Â The flight controller can be set up to operate in various flight modes, such as stabilized mode, altitude hold, GPS-assisted modes (e.g., Loiter and Position Hold), and manual mode.
Open-Source Firmware:Â APM 2.8 runs open-source firmware, most commonly based on ArduPilot or APM:Copter firmware. The open-source nature allows for community-driven development and customization.
Comprehensive Ground Control Software:Â It is typically configured and monitored using ground control software like Mission Planner or APM Planner 2.0, offering a user-friendly interface for setup and real-time data monitoring.
Telemetry Support:Â The APM 2.8 can be paired with telemetry systems, such as radio modems, for long-range communication between the drone and a ground station.
Built-In Safety Features:Â The APM firmware often includes safety features, such as fail-safes and return-to-home functions, to protect the drone in the event of signal loss or other emergencies.
Mission Planning:Â The flight controller supports waypoint-based mission planning, allowing you to program the drone to follow specific paths and execute tasks autonomously.
Expandable and Upgradable:Â APM 2.8 supports expansion through additional sensors and modules, giving you the flexibility to add features like lidar, optical flow sensors, and more.
