APM2.8 ArduPilot Mega 2.8

Introduction:

This is the new APM 2.8 autopilot module. The sensors are exactly the same

as with APM2.6, however this version does not have an onboard compass,

which makes this version ideal for use with multicopters and rovers.

The APM 2.8 is a complete open source autopilot system and the bestselling

technology that won the prestigious 2012 Outback Challenge UAV competition.

It allows the user to turn any fixed, rotary wing or multirotor vehicle

(even cars and boats) into a fully autonomous vehicle; capable of performing

programmed GPS missions with waypoints. Available with top or side
