I am building aflight controller for my thesis project. I understand that I will need a microcontroller to controller the sensors such as IMU, alitimeter, pressure snensor, GPS etc. But my supervisor wnts me to look at CPU as well.
CPU: voltage supply, memory(EEPROM, ROM, Flash).
Is this really necessary?

I know that many other sensors/units can be added to enhance the features, but for a basic flight controller that'll simply guide an aerial vehicle through desired waypoints, is anything missing from what I've mentioned.
Because once I know which units I'll need, I can decide for example, is an ArduPilot Mega Board adequate to interface with all units.
Perhaps your professor wants you to learn about alternative architectures and more complex systems. Without the lesson plan, it's hard to know.
