Autopilot

Ardupilot and PX4 Compatible Flight Controller

The Beyond Robotix Autopilot is Ardupilot and PX4 compatible, aimed to increase the flexibility and number of interfaces over other solutions whilst being simple to integrate into any drone. 16 PWMs, Ethernet, 7 serials, 2 CAN and I2C all contribute to ensure you can achieve what you need to.

Why You'll Love It

The Autopilot integrates all power conditioning and switching on the board, so a carrier board only needs to route from the high density connectors to the carrier outputs. Triple redundant IMUs and dual barometers are kept at a consistent operating temperature by a 2W heater, even in extreme cold. Four independently protected power inputs mean a failed source is isolated automatically and the board carries on with whatever remains. And because the Autopilot and its carriers use top-accessible M3 screws, they can be removed from an aircraft for maintenance after it has been built.

Interfaces for Any Build

Interfaces for Any Build

16 PWMs, Ethernet, 7 serial ports, 2 CAN interfaces, I2C, USB, microSD and SWD/JTAG debug give you far more room than typical flight controllers. All power conditioning and switching lives on the Core, so a carrier board only needs to route from the high density connectors to its outputs.

Redundant Power, No Configuration

Redundant Power, No Configuration

Power comes in through USB-C, a USB JST-GH header and two dedicated power inputs. Every input is filtered, reverse-blocked and clamped against transients. If a source fails, is disconnected or drifts out of range, it is isolated automatically without disturbing the others, and the board carries on with whatever remains.

Heated, Redundant Sensors

Triple redundant IMUs, dual barometers and a magnetometer share a 2W heater that brings the sensors to working temperature within minutes, even at extreme cold, so they behave consistently in any scenario.
