The PX4LITE is the next step in FC hardware with its powerful ST micro 32bit ARM Cortex core and massive I/O support. The PX4LITE is one of the most advanced autopilot systems available with support for almost any type of vehicle from a moon rover or a multirotor aircraft. Designed by the PX4 open-hardware project, it is supported by a number of development communities making this one of the most flexible and reliable platforms for vehicle control.

This Flight Controller has been changed from the original with the addition of an IMU which houses the safety switch, buzzer port, USB port and indicator light. This allows the IMU to be placed in a more convenient part of the platform for access to these components. Also removed from the original are non-common interface components.

Overall this is an excellent flight controller for your larger multi-rotors.

Features:
• Advanced 32bit ARM CortexM4 high performance processor, can run NuttX RTOS real time operating system
• 8 PWM/servo output
• Support auto and manual mode
• Micro SD card records flight data
• Removal of non-common components SPKT/DSM, CAN, AUX OUT ports
• Independent IMU Inertia control unit, built-in damping structure, can effectively reduce the vibration of copter
• External extend module integrate RGB LED indicators, Safety switch, Beep buzzer and USB module, greatly reduce installation space
• All interface (includes GPS/Telem/Power) are compatible with APM2.5/2.6/2/8
