FMUK66 Vehicle Controller
Everything you need to know on how to use your FMUK66 board.
What is this board?
RDDRONE-FMUK66 vehicle/flight management unit reference design is the foundation for building industrial robotic drones, rovers, and other small autonomous vehicles. This reference design runs PX4 Autopilot, the standard for industrial-grade drones, and gives you freedom to develop your own robotic vehicle. Furthermore, the VMU/FMU is versatile and can run other open source or proprietary flight stacks.
It controls and directs the vehicle's navigation and real-time response to its environment. It is adaptable to many airframes and vehicle types, including ground and water-based robots. It performs sensor fusion, including GPS and other positioning inputs for autonomous navigation to mission way points. The open, extensible platform supports many additional sensors.
