Just the thing for a drone nerds man cave, sorry hanger.
The Cube autopilot is a further evolution of the Pixhawk autopilot. It is designed for commercial systems and manufacturers who wish to fully integrate a autopilot into their system. On top of the existing features of Pixhawk, it has the following enhancements:
- 3 sets of IMU sensors for extra redundancy
- 2 sets of IMU are vibration-isolated mechanically, reducing the effect of frame vibration to state estimation
- IMUs are temperature-controlled by onboard heating resistors, allowing optimum working temperature of IMUs
- The entire flight management unit(FMU) and inertial management unit(IMU) are housed in a reatively small form factor (a cube). All inputs and outputs go through a 80-pin DF17 connector, allowing a plug-in solution for manufacturers of commercial systems. Manufacturers can design their own carrier boards to suite their specific needs.
- Processor
- 32-bit ARM Cortex M4 core with FPU
- 168 Mhz/256 KB RAM/2 MB Flash
- 32-bit failsafe co-processor
- Sensors
- Three redundant IMUs (accels, gyros and compass)
- InvenSense MPU9250, ICM20948 and/or ICM20648 as first and third IMU (accel and gyro)
- ST Micro L3GD20+LSM303D or InvenSense ICM2076xx as backup IMU (accel and gyro)
- Two redundant MS5611 barometers
- Power
- Redundant power supply with automatic failover
- Servo rail high-power (7 V) and high-current ready
- All peripheral outputs over-current protected, all inputs ESD protected
- Interfaces
- 14x PWM servo outputs (8 from IO, 6 from FMU)
- S.Bus servo output
- R/C inputs for CPPM, Spektrum / DSM and S.Bus
- Analogue / PWM RSSI input
- 5x general purpose serial ports, 2 with full flow control
- 2x I2C ports
- SPI port (un-buffered, for short cables only not recommended for use)
- 2x CAN Bus interface
- 3x Analogue inputs (3.3V and 6.6V)
- High-powered piezo buzzer driver (on expansion board)
- High-power RGB LED (I2C driver compatible connected externally only)
- Safety switch / LED
