Arsov RC Technology is proud to introduce a new vision of the PX4 v2 Autopilot board. The Arsov AUAV X1 is another elegant design from Phillip Kocmoud and Nick Arsov. Our goal was to product a high quality, compact, lightweight and cost effective alternative to the PX4 V2 or PixHawk autopilots. This is our first attempt to join the PX4 community after developing several successful designs for the MatrixPilot community. After we have finalized the design we will release the design files and schematics. The schematics will be released immediately to new owners. Initial supplies are limited and a deposit insures a boards in the first production run.

New power supply based on TPS63061 DC-DC Buck-Boost
The TPS63061 device provides a power supply solution for products powered by either three-cell up to six-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH battery, or a one-cell or dual-cell Li-Ion or Li-polymer battery. Output currents can go as high as 2A while using a dual-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer Battery, and discharge it down to 5V or lower. So you can connect a 2 cell Li-Po directly to the AUAV X1, and run it completely flat before brownout. Since it's a buck-boost converter, you can also power from a 5V BEC while still in regulation. Additional info about this Buck-Boost regulator could be found here - http://www.ti.com/product/tps63061
Connections:
4 x UARTs - 3 of them have Vcc, Tx, Rx, GND and one has a full set - Vcc, Tx, Rx, RTS, CTS, GND
1 x CAN with MAX3051
1 x I2C
1 x SPI
2 x ADC + 2 x ADC for current and voltage sensing
8 x PWM Receiver Inputs
8 x PWM Servo Outputs
2 x JTAG connection specifically for the TC2030-CTX-NL 6-Pin cable
micro SD card holder
micro USB connector
All inputs and outputs are ESD and EMI protected
Dimensions:
30mm x 43mm

Comments
Thank you Nick.
Am I right, the AUAV-X2 has all the functionality and I/O's as the Pixhawk, just smaller? It would really be great if you could do a side by side comparison of the AUAV-X2 vs the Pixhawk.
Looks interesting for small size and weight applications.
Hi Steven,
Yes, you may preorder AUAV-X2 at our US store - https://store.auav.co/ or at our EU store - http://arsovtech.com/?lang=en
The technical data is here - http://arsovtech.com/?p=1424
and the manuals are here - http://arsovtech.com/?p=1447
The latest discussions are here - http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/auav-x2-the-revised-version-of-...
Are these for sale yet? Site still shows pre-order. And where is the manual, detail specs? I mean like a real data or spec sheet including voltages and signals.
Thank you.
Nick sent over some X2 photos of the final delivered production boards. Eye Candy, Yum!
Shipping very soon, Phil
Great Progress Nick and Phillip!
Hi guys,
A nice video - Velimir Hristov ( Sofia team ) is flying Quad Tarot 650 Iron Man + AUAV-X1.

Here's also a link to his Tarot 650 - http://modelistika.com/showthread.php?t=37914
This will already be done, we were unable to build any more X1s due to a lack of NUF4211 Chips. Hence the redesign.
Hy guys,
The new AUAV-X2 PCBs are ready. Some pictures attached. You can see the fully revised new uIMU board.
The pitch scale is degrees (on the left) so it's pitching backwards about 20°.
CH4 scale is PWM (on the right) so output spiking to 1930µs.
