ArduPilot Mega is a flight controller with a complete UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) solution. In addition to simple manual control, the cotroller has a lot of different flight modes, including automatic missions such as flying on a map or a predefined route to set points. A round-trip telemetry transfer function will allow you to control the device throughout the flight via smartphone, tablet or computer. And built-in brain logging, will allow you to record and view technical readings such as sensor readings, GPS and more.
This version does not have a built-in compass (the use of an internal compass increases the likelihood of interference from power parts, which is fraught with the fall of the aircraft) and is designed to connect with an external compass along with a GPS module.
