MP1028ᵍ²
Description
The MP1028ᵍ² autopilot is suitable for entry level UAV applications where cost is the overriding consideration. The MP1028ᵍ² provides all of the reliability and the most important features of the MP2028ᵍ² such as altitude hold, airspeed hold, GPS waypoint navigation, and 1000 programmable waypoints/commands. The MP1028ᵍ² is the same minimal size and weight as the MP2028ᵍ² and offers the same robust command set.
Features
- Altitude hold, airspeed hold and GPS waypoint navigation
- 1,000 programmable waypoints or commands
- Powerful command set allows tremendous flexibility when describing your mission
- Fully integrated - all sensors required for complete airframe stabilization are integrated into a single circuit board
- Controls up to 8 servos or relays
- Autonomous launch methods include runway takeoff, hand launch, bungee launch, and catapult launch
- Supports manually directed and autonomous flight modes as well as an integrated RC override
- Supports flaps, flaperons, elevons, and flap/aileron mixing
- Extensive user programmable feedback gains and flight parameters tailor the MP1028g to your airframe and mission
- Extensive data log capability simplifies post flight diagnostics and analysis
- Integrated POST ensures reliability and repeatability
- Low battery warning: both on the ground and in flight
- Flies multi-rotor and fixed-wing
