Our Items
Confused what to buy? Just give us an email and we will help you decide (sales@ppzuav.com).
We make it simple. Each autopilot is professionally assembled in a large factory by automated pick and place and reflow to ISO9000 standards. To be sure yours will work we open every one and test before shipping. If it fails we don't sell it.
The testsi:
- Power it with a current limited power supply to verify voltages and current draw
- Load the usb bootloader so it can be programmed via USB
- Configure the GPS module for Paparazzi
- Load a sample aircraft program and verify the program runs correctly.
- Verify the programmed LEDs flash correctly
- Then acquires a 3D fix in Paparazzi GCS using a direct serial uplink from the autopilot to the GCS

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.
