CAPM PRO V3 ,CHINA version of the APM
What is the CAPM?
ArduPilot Mega 2560 + IMU board + magnetometer = CAPM PRO
Of course, CAPM and APM is the same as open source,anyone can go to create it.
After four editions, and finally, the arrival of a stable version
CUAV.NET Now released pcb file
-8 Input & output PWMs
-Native USB slave (Atmega32-au)
-Atmega2560 as main controller
-Atmega32-u2 as FTDI substitute and PPM encode
-Build-in LT3480EDD 5V-2A switched power regulator (input range 6V - 36V)
-Build-in 3.3V LDO power regulator
-12-bit ADC for better Gyro / Accel / AirSpeed resolution.
-Built-in 16MB Data Logger (The Black Box).
-Piano DIP switch for servo reverse or user customizable.
-Dedicated Modem / OSD port-I2C Port with incoming "Daisy Chain board" allowing you to build sensor arrays.
-10-Bit analog expansion ports.-Reset button.
- Invensense Gyros (Triple Axis IDG500 + ISZ500).
- 5883l Magnetometer
-Analog Devices ADX330 Accelerometer.
-AirSpeed sensor port (optional,).
-Absolute Bosch pressure sensor and temp for accurate altitude（BMP085）
CAPM and "PhoneDrone Board for Android" the same
Use Atmega32-auAs PPM decoder and USB FTDI
functionsThis Atmega32-au firmware from the great Chinese hazy rewrite
We designed an expansion board that itIntegrated XBEE and UBLOX GPS
Combined with the effect of photo CAPM
More details will be announced later
But not today.
Today about the CAPM to test it with friends
Beautiful aircraft
Mini ArduCopter
There is also a board for a fixed
45X45 hole distanceRack compatible MK KK
have power distribution function

Definitely Worth Trying

irony:
the DIYD APM numbers the servo rail from right to left - nearly all western languages are left to right
this "CAPM" numbers the servo rail from left to right - 横排 is frequently right to left, in traditional scripts and before the influence of western languages and technologies

it looks like maybe it is harder to see the LEDs, and to flip the CLI switch, when the telemetry/gps daughterboard is mounted? Also the reset switch, but that is ok, as using the reset switches sometimes creates some issues, and I avoid using it (lipo attached during board reset potentially resulting in spurious ESC output for AC)

what is the board underneath the CAPM in the picture of the quad? Is it an RX board, maybe? Or maybe a PDB and RX combo? Or just a PDB (the CAPM is so dense, and the wiring hardens for the ESC seems to already handle power, so it's hard to imagine that is only a PDB from the photo)

looks like it happens again.
years ago the japanese simply copied automobile technologie.
in the mean time they are the leaders.
history repeats itself.
would be very interesting to test.

Problem with Chinese hardware is the reliability and support when things go wrong.

Interesting. All other comments aside - it is good to have alternatives with an open source project. This is essentially an R&D community, the more we have to tinker with, the better we will push this field forward.
Having said that, do not like the PCB silk screen colour at all, hope it is just a prototype ;-)

Well Chris has never been adverse to people taking the hardware further. I guess we will not be far from a time when a single box can run all sorts of different software and the end user can choose what they like best.

Except for the board color (if I may suggest something more stylish, black maybe?), it looks good. How much will it retail for?

@gary
i expect quite a few new cortex designs ;-)
not low end but high end ...
@hardcore
bought an oilpan which didn't work - asked the stoe and never got an answer.
so it depends on the people.
