We've got some awesome new products coming out on Friday, along with great discounts as part of our annual DIY Drones store Black Friday Sale. It will start at midnight EST on Thurs (9:00 PM PST) and go through the weekend.
Get ready for a new version of the APM 2.5 kit, with a sleek enclosure, a new improved MTK GPS with a larger antenna, firmware and battery backup. Plus a cool new accessory: a power supply + current/voltage power sensor, all in a tiny board. And all these are now included in the new APM 2.5+, at a new, lower price! (The APM 2.5 itself is unchanged; it just now comes in a cooler, cheaper package).
Also, look for new PX4 kits, including everything you need for this exciting new autopilot.

Comments
Magnus: Yes the new GPS is already supported. Thanks for you order!
lol @Josh
Placed a big order this morning! Food is overrated!
how do we go about getting the credit for the apm 2.5 case?
@ Hein du Plessis- 0500 GMT
Are the 3DR Arducopter kits going to come with the new board (2.5+)?
Todd: yes four RC channels of the PX4FMU can be used but only low currents are supplied. For more than 4 channels and more power, the PX4IO is needed.
The firmware is ready to be tested with quads (and with the IO hexas), for planes only hardware in the loop is running.
For details see the px4 wiki.
Chris, from my understanding on the PX4 forum the PX4 FMU can be used to control up to four RC channels by itself. Is this correct? If so, I will pick one up on my next order and start tinkering.
Todd: PX4 firmware is available for RC use, but the full autopilot code will not be out until early next year.
David: Yes, that is the enclosure that people who already have an APM2.5 can get for free.
Hein: The sale will begin at midnight EST tonight (9:00 PM PST).
Can't wait to order! Is the PX4 firmware ready, or is it still in development?
