FlyMaple: Low Level Control and Data Acquisition

 

IGP3165-600x6001Flymaple is a controller board, based on the Maple Project.

The FlyMaple embeds a M32F103RET6 (ARM Cortex-M3) as it’s main MCU. It integrates a 3-Axis accelerometer,a 3-Axis gyroscope,a 3-Axis compass and a barometric pressure sensor. By using the 10 dgrees of freedom IMUs and powerful 72MHz high-performation microcontroller, flymaple is powerful enough to handle a complex algorithm and manage a robot motion system at the same time.

The pinout shows that we can use 8 radio channels inputs (J7) and we can provide up to 8 pwm signal (J5/J3). The board admits from 7V to 12V through the connector J9.
