Hello everyone,
a year and a half ago came Multipilot 1.0 an inertial platform for applications and semi-professional hobby. After the excellent results obtained from the marketing of these cards, and participation in development projects as open source and Aeroquad Arducopter and 'born www.virtualrobotix.com community.
Today our community is proud to present the evolution of our project: Multipilot 2.0 ST.
Stay tuned :
This is the Official thread : http://www.virtualrobotix.com/forum/topics/multipilot-20-ap32-buildingThe characteristics of Multipilot 2.0 are:
- Hardware:
- ARM7 Cortex-M3 processor STM32F103VET6. 72 Mhz
- Flash 512 Kbytes RAM 64 Kbytes
- 16-bit Timer 4
- SPI 2 (ADC Interface, MicroSD connection)
- I ² C 2 (First I2C (sensor), Second I2C control until ESC 12)
- USART 5 (GPS, DEBUG Console, XBee Pro Telemetry)
- USB 1 (Upload Firmware, Debug Console, Power Board for Debug)
- CAN 1 (Interconnection with Professional ESC 1 Mbit update rate)
- 6 PWM Output Bit 16 (ESC / Servo Control)
- 8 PWM Input 16 Bit (RC Input Channel, accept PPM SUM)
- 8 Analog Input 12 Bit.
- Professional 4 layers PCB.
- DC: DC 30 V (6s Lipo): 5 volts and 3.3 volts
- Sensor Board:
- Diydrones OilPan . (High quality entry level board)
- LN Professional Sensor Board: 3 Axis Accelerometer, 3 Axis Gyroscope, 3 Axis Magnetometer , 10 HZ Gps , High Quality Sensor for certify professional application.
- IDE and Development tools:

- Arm GCC Toolchain.
- Fully compatible with arduino wiring language.
- Firmware:
- On this platform will be available a lot of RC library developed by Virtualrobotix and Diydrones community.
- Standard software will be an improved revision of Arducopter , Ardupilot , Multiwii , Aeroquad . The first revision of code will be Arducopter NG .
- MultiFox Rev 4 special Arm Edition.
- Special Feature :
- Multipilot 2.0 is fully compatible with ArduPilotMega DiyDrones Board.
- OEM revision of Multipilot 2.0 available.
Stay tuned :

In this thread we're chosing the IDE for MP32
http://www.virtualrobotix.com/forum/topics/what-ide-do-you-prefer-for
What do you think about ide ?
Well, I have a lot of parts... Total airframe weight will be ~100kg. 4 Ultrasport 496 tail rotors, 600cc e-tec BRP engine, various other pieces. I'll post some sketches when I get home. Working on CAD to produce airframe parts. Mostly mounting plates, etc. I am waiting on 4 extruded aluminum blades from Vortech International so I can create a urethane bushing to absorb flap & lag of the blades, and then test the responsiveness of the HiTec 35990R Servo @ 3600 RPM.
Hi Robert,

This is Giuseppe , the member of Foxteam that are working to HG3/1-2 if you need more information write directly to Giuseppe. What kind of information do you need ? We are develop Multipilot 2.0 so we can manage better servo using 16 bit resolution and high update speed.

Roberto
Hello Roberto, I have been away for a long time. Glad to see a 32-bit ARM sytem. Where would I start to get information on setting up a variable pitch quad rotor?
I have the date of first Multipilot 2.0 pcb stock . They arrive at my farm the 26 /01/2011 . I'm very excite ... :)
Now during this long waiting I'm working on sensor library i2c and spi .
Regards
Roberto
no is not possible to upgrade DYI standard apm to new microprocessor. The shape of board is the same but it's totally different .. The AP32 will be 4 layer like a professional board instead of 2 layer .
@Knuckles904
Thanks , yes the board will be compatible with Arduino IDE. I'm working on port of standard apm lib to 32 Bit platform.
For info about the status of project the official thread support is here : http://www.virtualrobotix.com/forum/topics/multipilot-20-ap32-building
@Sebastian,
i reserver a board for you Sebastian :) I think that board will be available in two revision with or without 6S DC:DC converter. The price is TBD , but the entry level revision will be not so expensive :)
