CC3D Atom OpenPilot Flight Control Board Authorized (Vertical Pins) (UK Warehouse)

Description

The CC3D ATOM boards are an all-in-one stabilization hardware that run OpenPilot firmware.
It can fly any airframe from Tri, Quad, Hex, Octocopters as well as fixed wing aircraft and is configured and monitored using the OpenPilot Ground Control Station (GCS) software.

This latest revision features improved gyros and uses the powerful OpenPilot architecture and the cross-platform Ground Control Station (GCS).
CopterControl from the OpenPilot project introduces a new generation of multi-purpose aircraft stabilization platforms and
has been designed from the ground up to perform the following functions:

• MultiRotor controller with auto-level, including TriCopters, QuadCopters and HexaCopters
• Flybarless Helicopter controller with auto-level - Experimental
• Fixed Wing UAV controller - Experimental

Flexi port
The innovative Flexi-port provides either I2C connectivity or a second serial port. Flexi-port gives Copter Control the flexibility to use either I2C and a single serial port or dual serial ports, according to your connectivity needs.

Superior user experience
OpenPilot has tried to make your experience with the CC3D as easy and trouble-free as possible. The hardware is complete; there is no soldering required.
The included RC harness allows you to connect any standard PWM receiver, are tested before shipping and come with bootloader already flashed.
A standard mini-USB cable (not included) is used to load the latest firmware and configure everything for your unique airframe.

The OpenPilot project is trying to make Open Source much more user friendly. OpenPilot software is designed to be used by everybody! All major operating systems are supported and install packages are provided. The GPLv3 licensed software is all free and not only are you welcome to hack it, but we encourage it!
