Description: This is latest UAV Development Board
(UDB4, as in, "UAV Development Board version 4"). The UDB4 comes
populated with a dsPIC33FJ256 CPU, an MMA7361 three axis accelerometer, a
dual axis IDG500 gyro, and a single axis ISZ500 gyro. The on-board
Invensense gyros even have enough vibration tolerance to be used in RC
heli applications.
By itself, the board can be used to develop a three axis IMU
controller. By addition of an EM406 or D2523T GPS receiver, it can be
used to develop a UAV controller for an RC car, plane, helicopter, or
boat. It comes with self-testing firmware that can serve as a starting
point for you to develop your own control and navigation firmware. There
is even fully functional, open source autopilot firmware available.
Note: For programming, we recommend the PICkit3. Check the related products below.
Note: A GPS module is not included.
