PIXHAWK 2.4.8 autopilot is a general purpose flight controller based on autopilot mega or APM. it is an open source project from 3DR. The flight controller combines the functionality of the PX4MU and PX4IO and strong input control of 32-bit processor.
This flight controller features with currently most advanced processor technology from STMelectronics, sensor technology from Bosch, InvenSense and a NuttX real-time operating system. Combining all the features, it provides incredible performance, flexibility, and reliability to control any autonomous vehicle, drone or quadcopter. The device has 2 external SPI buses and six associated chip select lines, which allows other sensors to interface. Total it has 4 buses, two for external applications and 2 grouped with serial ports with GPS or compass module.
