UAV v2 Development Platform

sku: GPS-09038

Description: This is the new three axis UAV development board by Bill Premerlani. This board comes with a dsPIC30F4011 CPU, an MMA7260 three axis accelerometer and 3 LISY300AL gyros. It is intended for the do-it-yourselfer. By itself, it can be used to develop a three axis IMU controller. With the addition of an EM406 GPS receiver it can be used to develop a UAV controller for an RC car, plane, or boat. It comes with self-testing firmware that can serve as a starting point for you to develop your own control and navigation firmware. There is also fully functional, open source autopilot firmware available.

The board also supports a connection to the faster and more accurate UBlox GPS module. The easiest way to connecto to the GPS is with this adapter.

Note: On the 6 pin debug header, the pin next to the reset button is VPP, according to this convention.

Features:

• Connection for either a 20-Channel EM-406A SiRF III GPS Receiver or 50-Channel GS407 Helical GPS Receiver (receivers not included)
  
• PIC dsPIC30F4011 Controller (with onboard 3.3V and 5V glue logic)
• dsPIC runs at 120MHz with 16MHz resonator and PLL
• MMA7260 three axis accelerometer
• 3 LISY300AL gyros
• Up to 5 Input, 6 output PWM points
• 6-Wire debug header or ICSP header
  
• 2 Separate colored status LEDs
