MP2028ᵍ²
Description
The MP2028ᵍ² established a new benchmark for lightweight UAV autopilots. Weighing only 28 grams, including all sensors and a GPS receiver, this UAV autopilot is the smallest in the world. With a proven track record, the MP2028ᵍ² packs everything you need into one powerful UAV autopilot.
Features
-
MP2028ᵍ² holds the title as the smallest UAV autopilot in the world. The MP2028ᵍ² allows you to optimize valuable payload space and weight.
- Weight = 28 grams
Including GPS receiver! - Length = 10 centimeters
- width = 4 centimeters
- Weight = 28 grams
- 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 24 servos or relays
- Complete autonomous operation from launch to recovery
- Autonomous launch methods include runway takeoff, hand launch, bungee launch, and catapult launch
- Autonomous recovery methods include runway landing, parachute recovery and deep stall landing
- Supports manually directed and autonomous flight modes as well as an integrated RC override
- Supports flaps, flaperons, elevons, v-tail, x-tail, split rudders, split ailerons and flap/aileron mixing
-
Extensive user programmable feedback gains and flight parameters tailor the MP2028ᵍ² 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
- User programmable error handlers for: loss of GPS signal, loss of RC signal, engine failure, loss of data link, and low battery voltage.
- Flies multi-rotor and fixed-wing
