APM 2.6 Flight Controller Board
The APM 2.6 flight controller board is one of the first open-source autopilot systems to use invensense's 6 DoF Accelerometer/Gyro MPU-6000. This flight controller features an onboard 4 MegaByte data flash chip for automatic data logging, optional off-board GPS, and a uBlox LEA-6H module which is compatible with Arduino. This revision of the board has no onboard compass, which is designed for vehicles (especially multicopters and rovers) where the compass should be placed as far from power and motor sources as possible to avoid magnetic interference.

1.WHAT IS APM IN FLIGHT CONTROLLERS?
- Ardupilot Mega (APM) is a high-quality IMU autopilot built on the Arduino Mega platform. This autopilot flight controller is capable of controlling fixed-wing aircraft, multi-rotor helicopters, and conventional helicopters. It is a full-fledged autopilot capable of self-stabilization, way-point navigation, and two-way telemetry via Xbee wireless modules.
2.WHAT IS A FLIGHT CONTROLLER?
- Flight controllers are central electronic processing units with a number of fixed purpose ports for power, instruments, and power electronics. They have a wide range of sensing instruments onboard such as accelerometers (tilt, orientation, and axial acceleration), gyroscopes, GPS or Global Positioning Systems, compass, and much more. The flight controller uses complex algorithms and programmed settings to draw data from all of these instruments and combine it with pilot input to facilitate the desired flight.
3.HOW DO I DOWNLOAD THE APM PLANNER?
- First, run the.exe file. Run the installation wizard after opening the.exe file. Then, after reading the Open Source License Agreement, click I Agree. Then choose Options. Choose an installation method. Finally, exit the wizard to finish the installation. To exit the wizard, select Close.
