Need a flight control board...

Posted by Joe on August 26, 2014 at 7:37am

I'm looking for a flight control board? Choices:

1) HKPilot32 Autonomous Vehicle 32Bit Control Set w/ Power Module,

2) HKPilot Mega 2.7 Flight Controller USB/GYRO/ACC/MAG/BARO

Anybody have any 1st hand knowledge on how they perform? Or other "board" suggestions? And one that can be ordered from a company that is located here in the states?

    What a disappointment.
    The Beagle Bone Black and Fire Cape combo had me all excited back in feb 2014, so I bought 2 BBB's in anticipation.

    Today I find out the cape is finally available from Erle-Brain, but at the premium price of 199 euros, plus they want 55 euros to post it to Australia. That comes to AU$370.....just for the cape.

    Yet another snout in the trough. Rant over

    Both are clone of ArduPilot.

    You came to the right place.

    HK sends you here for the documentation anyway.

      Hi Richard,

      What's a good flight board to use?

        "...ArduPilot, the world's first universal autopilot platform (planes, multicopters of all sorts and ground rovers). Today the Pixhawk andAPM 2.6 autopilots run a variety of powerful free and open UAV software systems, including:

        • ArduCopter, a fully-autonomous multicopter and heli UAV system
        • ArduPlane, a pro-level UAV system for planes of all types
        • ArduRover, a fully-autonomous ground-based vehicle system "

          HOOAH! Sgt. Ric,

          I thought about it? I'm going to order that APM 2.6...

          Thanks for the input...
