APM 2.8 Flight Controller w / Shock Absorber NEO M8N GPS 5 V 3A Power Module XT60
APM2.8 Features:
-This is the new APM 2.8 autopilot module. The sensors are exactly the same as with APM2.6, however this version does not have a compass edge, making this version ideal for use with multicopters and rovers.
-The APM 2.8 system is a complete open source autopilot and the best-selling technology that has won the prestigious 2012 Outback UAV Challenge competition. It allows the user to transform any fixed, rotary wing or multi-vehicle vehicle (even cars and boats) into a fully-autonomous vehicle; Capable of performing programmed GPS missions with waypoints. Available with top or side connectors.
-This revision of the board has no compass compass, which is designed for vehicles (especially multicopters and rovers) where the compass should be placed as far away from power and motor sources as possible to avoid magnetic interference. (On fixed wing aircraft it is often easier to mount APM far enough away from the motors and these to avoid magnetic interference if not so critical but APM 2.6 gives more flexibility in positioning and Is a good choice for them, too). This is designed to be used with the 3DR uBlox GPS with Compass (see option below), so the GPS / Compass unit can be mounted further away from noise sources than APM itself.
