The most common question asked by our community is “what is flight controller” and the answer is here The flight controller (aka FC) is the brain of the Drone(Quadcopter). It’s a circuit board with a range of sensors that detect movement of the drone, as well as user commands so Pixhawk 2.4.8 does. Using this data, it then controls the speed of the motors to make the craft move as instructed.
It Supports 8 RC channel with 4 serial port. Various user interfaces are available for programing, reviewing logs, even some apps for smartphones & tablets. It detects and configures all its peripherals automatically
Difference between Pixhawk 2.4.8 & 2.4.6:
Features of Pixhawk 2.4.8:
- The advanced 32-bit ARM CortexM4 high-performance processors; can run NuttX RTOS real-time operating system.
- 14 PWM / servo output.
- Bus interface (UART, I2C, SPI, CAN).
- The integrated backup power and backup controller fails; the primary controller fails over to the backup control is safe.
- Provide automatic and manual modes.
- Provide redundant power input and failover.
- Multicolor LED lights.
- Provide a multi-tone buzzer Interface.
- Micro SD card to record flight data.
