Our Items
Confused what to buy? Try the bundle of the most common required components:
Modular (TWOG) bundle: TWOG bundle
We make it simple. Each autopilot is professionally assembled in a large factory so every one is the same and the same high-quality. To be sure yours will work we open every one and test before shipping. The tests are the same steps you see on the Wiki:
- We load the bootloader
- configure the GPS module (LEA-5H Tiny2.11 we also update the GPS Firmware to the latest from u-blox)
- We load a sample tiny2.11 program into it.
- We verify it runs the program (LED1/RED flashes)
- Then acquires a 3D fix (LED2/GREEN flashes)
We verify it can be programmed before you receive it. This allows you to focus on learning paparazzi. :)

Trying to answer some common questions, I strive to make everything as "plug and play" as possible for you. So of course that means the bootloader and GPS have been preprogrammed. The PPM encoder is also preprogrammed and ready to go with the latest bootloader and firmware. Kits come with all the cables necessary. If you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them.
