APM 2.8 Flight Controller 2.5 2.6 Upgraded Built-in Compass for FPV RC Drone Aircraft is the new APM 2.8 flight controller. The sensors are exactly the same as the APM 2.6 flight controller, however, this has the option to use the built-in compass, or external compass via a jumper. This makes the APM 2.8 ideal for use with multi-copters and rovers.
The universal vibration damping mount or shock absorber has a list of useful applications. This is free camera mounting to Flight controller isolation. It absorbs vibration, the center supported plate is ideal for sensitive electronics and cameras. The flush flat-bottom mounting allows bolt or tape style attachment.
A new generation Ublox GPS NEO-M8N, with low power consumption and high precision, the ultimate accuracy is 0.6 meters, actually almost 0.9 meters, greater than the previous generation NEO-7N’s 1.4-1.6 meters accuracy; support GPS/QZSS L1 C/A, GLONASS L10F, BeiDou B1 protocol, and mode or more.
The GPS Folding Antenna Base mount comes will a laser-cut adhesive pad to quickly attached your GPS module, while the mount itself can be fixed to your craft using the base plate M3 hole, or the cross slides.
The APM 2.5 Power Module is a simple way of providing your APM 2.5; with clean power from a LiPo battery as well as current consumption and battery voltage measurements, all through a 6-pos cable.

Initial set up on Mission planner worked. Now have to assemble the drone to check all other operations. Please understand that this this APM 2.8 board has been retired . But it offers all features it did at time of its maturity with 3.2.1 firmware. It promises to be a great learning experience for novices getting started at drones, me included. JUST ENSURE YOU USE A DATA USB MICRO B CABLE AND NOT A CHARGING USB MICRO CABLE as both appear to be the same, but you’ll get nothing on the COM port with a charging cable.
