Pixhawk Flight Controller Autopilot Kit

The Pixhawk FC has become recognised as one of the most advanced, low-cost autopilot systems available. It is an amazing piece of kit that can turn any fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing, multirotor or even boats and cars into a fully autonomous vehicle; capable of performing a wide range of tasks, even pre-programmed GPS missions with waypoints. The list of what this flight controller is capable of has quickly been surpassed by what it cannot, with features, flight modes, and supported platforms. Furthermore, the Pixhawk project is supported by a number of development communities making it one of the most flexible and reliable platforms for vehicle control. 

Pixhawk is an open-hardware project and as such there are many versions of the Pixhawk FC available. The version of the Pixhawk being sold here is based on the original 3DR Version 1 FMUv2 Autopilot design. 3DR no longer make the FC, but as it's based open source hardware design and runs open-source firmware we've had the Pixhawk manufactured ourselves to the same specification, with a couple of tweaks to improved reliability further.
