*Note: This is not an original Arduino brand product.
It consists of a choice of ArduPilot Mega (APM) electronics and a range of free software versions for different vehicles and is governed by an open source creative commons license. **The reference to APM refers to the ArduPilot project, a family of open source autopilots based on the Arduino open source computing platform, developed by 3DR and the open source community. *PX4/Pixhawk is an independent, open-source, open-hardware project aiming at providing a high-end autopilot to the academic, hobby and industrial communities (BSD licensed) Most modern RC receivers allow for PPM output, but some, such as non-S.BUS Futaba receivers do not. Note: HK Pilot32 is a PPM-input autopilot, which means that it gets RC input from a single cable to the receiver, either via the PPM port, the Futaba S.BUS port, or the special satellite receiver port for Spektrum gear.

Backup system integrates mixing, providing consistent autopilot and manual override mixing modes.Integrated backup system for in-flight recovery and manual override with dedicated processor and stand-alone power supply.Abundant connectivity options for additional peripherals (UART, I2C, CAN).14 PWM/servo outputs (8 with failsafe and manual override, 6 auxiliary, high-power compatible).
Advanced 32 bit ARM Cortex® M4 Processor running NuttX RTOS.The barometric pressure sensor has been upgraded to a MS5611-01BA03 from Measurement Specialities For example, the autothrottle may not maintain the speed selected in the MCP during particular circumstances (for example, turns in high winds). Included in this set is a super precision LEA-6h digital GPS with compass powered by Honeywells HMC5883L-TR chip and a telemetry radio system which includes an OSD. Whether these systems are functional in a simulation, depends on the avionics suite used (Sim Avionics, Project Magenta, etc). The HK Pilot32 is one of the most advanced autopilot systems available with support for almost any type of vehicle from a moon rover or a multirotor aircraft, even a submarine! Designed by the PX4 open-hardware project, it is supported by a number of development communities making this one of the most flexible and reliable platforms for vehicle control, with many features and functions sure to be available in the future. The HKPilot32 is the next step in FC hardware with its powerful ST micro 32bit ARM Cortex core and massive I/O support.
