APS - Series Autopilot Platform
The Microbotics Autopilot Platform is designed to simplify the operation of unmanned vehicles (UV). With emphasis on tight integration, high reliability, and maximum flexibility, it enables rapid testing of autonomous UV autopilot systems and provides a production system at a competitive price.
The Microbotics Autopilot Platform includes the MIDG II INS/GPS, which provides a complete inertial solution for use in UV autopilot applications. Other UV autopilot systems might appear to be smaller and weigh less, but the Microbotics Autopilot Platform includes the ability to drive up to 30 servos, has 12 analog inputs for measurement application (fuel, battery power, altitude, airspeed, etc.), supports a memory card (SD card) for real-time data recording, and has a built-in wireless transceiver - all of this in a single integrated package. |

APS - Serial Autopilot Platform Features:
- Small size (2.63" W x 2.10" H x 2.63"D)
- 30 fully programmable digital I/O lines
- 4 RS-232, full duplex UARTS
- PWM inputs and outputs for servo control
- 12 Analog inputs (12 bit)
- 5 VDC supply for analog, Hall-effect, or other sensors
- 32-bit RISC processor
- Onboard non-volatile FRAM for external sensor calibration, waypoint storage, etc.
- Optional internally mounted MIDG II INS/GPS sensor
- Internal wireless modem with up to 20 mile range
- SD memory card slot for real-time data recording
Fully Programmable I/O
The 30 digital I/O pins are user programmable and can be defined as general purpose in/out signals or connected to one of the internal peripheral functions. The digital I/O system is based on a programmable gate array, so application specific peripherals can be added with a simple firmware upgrade. This allows the autopilot to support SPI, CAN, and other peripherals as needed.
