AUAV is proud to announce our latest high quality PixHawk derivative - The XRacer V1. This project was developed in cooperation with Lorenz Meier, David Sidrane, Leonard Hall and many others. This board combines the latest IMU offerings from InvenSense and a large number of capabilities in a micro 36mmx36mm form factor.
Below are some pictures to peak your interest.
XRacer V1 specifications:
- MCU - STM32F427VIT6 rev.3
- FRAM - FM25V02-G
- Ultra low noise LDOs for sensors and FMU
- Sensors used - MPU9250, HMC5983 ( optional ), ICM20608 ( optional ), baro MS5611
- Connectors - GPS+I2C, RC-IN, PPM-IN, RSSI, SBus-IN, Spektrum-IN, USART3 ( TxD, RxD, CTS, RTS ), USART2 ( TxD, RxD, CTS, RTS ), FRSky-IN, FRSky-OUT, CAN, USART8 ( TxD, RxD ), ESP8266 ( full set ), SERVO1-SERVO6, USART7 ( TxD, RxD ), JTAG ( SWDIO, SWCLK ), POWER-BRICK ( VDD, Voltage, Current, GND ), BUZZER-LED_BUTTON
- MicroSD card reader
- RGB LED
- Micro USB
- ESP8266 802.11bgn ( optional )
- Dimensions - 36 x 36mm with 30.5 x 30.5mm hole grid with 3.2mm holes
- Molex Clik-Mate ( JST GH series ) connectors for easy peripheral connect.
- Full set of ready made cables for almost any peripheral module.
- Power supply - 5-5.5VDC from USB or PowerBrick connector. Soon the ACSP4 ( 36 x 36mm power distribution, current, voltage sensor with 5V/2.5A ultra low noise buck and 12V/2A ultra low noise buck ) companion will be announced.
The price and availability will be announced within a few weeks.
Thank you again for your support.

Great Produkt!
But why should it only be used in quads?
I think it is a severe limitation not to provide more outputs to control gimbals cameras and other stuff in copters with more than 4 props.
Anyway, looking forward to it!
I'd like to know the support for ESP8266 802.11bgn:)
I like the idea of CAN, but when are we going to see mass produced, reasonably priced CAN ESCs in a wide range of sizes to compete with the existing ESCs?
In our opinion, PWM is the old way. This board will primarily be on Quads, so even 6 is overkill. The future is CAN which this board supports. Anything we can do to help the transition along, the better.
Why only 6 pwm output ?
@Nick Arsov ,
this design remember me my VR uBrain ;) It's nice that after 1 year deicde to join me in mono cpu design ;)
looks very nice!
It will need a small tweak to the nsh startup script for ArduPilot due to the different sensor mix, but that should be very easy.
The production boards will likely change to the JST GH Series Connector to coincide with the shift in standards within DroneCode.
Awesome work!
Same form-factor as a Naze32 & Clickmate connectors too... You're spoiling us. :)
+ some more pictures....
