Multipilot32F4 is the most powerful auto pilot, compatible with arduino

With the day by advent of new advancements in flying objects, many people and firms are working on auto pilots. Virtual Robotix has taken a step closer by showing their world’s most powerful autopilot which is compatible with arduino software, the Multipilot32F4. Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based easy-to-use hardware and software which makes it simple to write and upload code to the input/output board.

Multipilot32F4 was presented at the start of this year, but later some changes were made to its board. The Multipilot32F4 is powered by an ARM Cortex-M4 processor STM32F407VET6 at 168 Mhz. Its other hardware specs include four 16-bit Timers, two Serial Peripheral interfaces and two inter integrated circuits. The power comes by means of DC 30 V (6s Lipo) batteries. It is equipped with a 4 layer printed circuit board and interconnected with professional electronic stability control 1 MBit update rate.

The video below shows first flight video of the VR Multipilot32F4 which is flying quite nicely but thing to watch out is that it is on a windy day by using feedback controller. Multipilot32F4 is ready for beta testing at price of €199. Though it is available and still in production and next stock could be available later this month.
