Are you want to be an Electronic Geek in the future and want to build your own drone then this Flight controller is best for you. The flight controller uses the data gathered by the sensors to calculate the desired speed for each of the four motors. The flight controller sends this desired speed to the Electronic Speed Controllers (ESC’s), which translates this desired speed into a signal that the motors can understand.
Pixhawk PX4 2.4.7 32Bits Flight Controller for Quadcopter Multicopter board is a new Version Redeveloped and optimized circuit without changing components integrated with PX4FMU+PX4IO. Pixhawk is with a new 32-bit chip and sensor technology. It detects and configures all its peripherals automatically The benefits of the Pixhawk system include a Unix/Linux-like programming environment, completely new autopilot functions. Sophisticated scripting of missions and flight behavior, and a custom PX4 driver layer ensuring tight timing across all processes.
It’s an Advanced 32 bit CortexM4 ARM high-performance processor, can run RTOS NuttX real-time operating system. Integrated backup power supply and failure backup controller. The main controller can be safely switched to backup control. It can Provide redundant power input and fault transfer functions.
US interface UART, I2C, SPI, CAN Provide automatic and manual mode.14 x PWM/ actuator output. Color LED lamp. Multi-tone buzzer interface.Micro SD to record flight data

It works perfectly. Only issue is the telemetry and gps df16 connectors on flight controller doesn’t fit perfectly, I have even tried different cables but still problem exists maybe the df16 port on fc is defective. Everything else is great.
