What it does

  • Runs on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 chip and is designed around async tasks for efficiency.
  • Includes an interactive serial shell for configuration, calibration and troubleshooting over USB.
  • Offers built-in calibration routines for the gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer.
  • Provides a Mavlink server so standard ground control station software can communicate with it.
  • Allows run-time configuration of the RC map, PID gains and more, saved to flash storage.
  • Runs arming safety checks to prevent arming in unsafe conditions.
