Arducopter 2.8 Flight Control Board

The Arducopter 2.8 is a versatile flight control board that is built on the robust Arduino Mega platform. It employs an ATmega2560 microcontroller for its primary operations and an ATmega32u2 microcontroller for seamless USB-to-serial conversion.
Alongside the microcontrollers, the board incorporates key sensors for autonomous navigation. These include an accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, and magnetometer. The board is also equipped with ESC and servo connections, and it provides connectors for additional sensors and telemetry.
