MiniAPM v3.1

Posted by Shane Hopcroft on May 17, 2014 at 7:29pm

Hi,

I noticed a reference to this in a blog post:

http://www.goodluckbuy.com/miniapm-v3-1-mini-ardupilot-mega-2-6-external-compass-apm-flight-controller-for-multicopter-fpv.html

It looks too-good-to-be-true to me.

I was wondering if anyone had already purchaed one of these, and if so - are they any good?

Shane.

    Hi Dieter,
    
    Have you been able to test the board?
    
    As there is precious little independent information about these boards publicly available any review of the board would be greatly appreciated.
    
    Cheers,
    
    Shane.

      Hi Shane, tested only on the bench as I still waiting on a 250FPV frame, hope it will be here next week.

mine is on the way, lets see, did you buy one?

  did you buy one?
  
  No, not yet - I'm waiting for some early-adopters to report if they are any good :)
  
  I would be interested to see how you hook up the servos, and exactly what the white connectors are (are they DF13, or DF13-style?)
  
  Hope your board works out ok. It would be great if you (and anyone else who got one) could post a review back here.

    The connectors are Molex Picoblade. It's a little different from Hirose DF13.
