Intelligent Controllers
Controller stabilizes and controls unmanned systems for semi-autonomous and autonomous flights. It is one of the core components of unmanned systems. Primarily consists of a microcontroller, control circuit & a suite of sensors (gyroscope, accelerometer,
electronic compass, barometer, etc.). It has redundant sensors & power supplies and performs
redundant switching in case of failure to ensure flight safety.
Pixhawk V6X V2, a brand-new upgraded masterpiece developed through our in-depth collaboration with PX4, inherits Pixhawk FMU vox standard and modular design philosophy. It features a full upgrade of industrial-grade triple-redundant series sensors paired with independent bus and power supply designs, added constant-temperature external clock and MCU heat dissipation system, and introduces 5V PWM support along with a patented shock absorption structure. The standard-equipped PMU 2 Lite power management module supports 70V input and 220A current detection, meeting the requirements of “high reliability, high adaptability, and high performance” for high-end industrial-grade unmanned systems.
The 7-Nano V2 is a miniature, intelligent controller developed for compact unmanned system equipment. Independently developed and manufactured by CUAV, it features an innovative stacked design that integrates a high-performance STM32H753 processor, dual-redundant industrial-grade IMUs, and a comprehensive array of expansion interfaces within an extremely compact footprint. It also supports Ethernet communication, enabling low-latency, high-bandwidth real-time data exchange between the controller and the various components of the unmanned system.
X25 EVO is a brand-new, high-performance, industrial-grade controller from CUAV. Compared with traditional controllers, X25 EVO has achieved breakthrough upgrades and optimization in aspects such as power rails, sensors, shock absorption systems, temperature compensation systems, hardware reliability, and device compatibility, significantly improving its performance and stability in complex environments and meeting the application needs of various unmanned systems.
X7+ Pro is a high-end intelligent controller developed by CUAV for industry and industrial applications. It is equipped with a high-performance STM32H7 processor with a processing speed of up to 480MHz and supports double floating-point operations. It is also equipped with an ADIS16470 automotive-grade sensor with excellent gyroscope and accelerometer performance, supports low-error long-flight attitude calculation, and is equipped with an industrial-grade RM3100 magnetometer, which has strong anti-magnetic interference
capabilities. The excellent processor performance and IMU performance enable unmanned system equipment to have better stability and anti-interference capabilities in complex environments.
X7+ is a premium controller designed and produced by CUAV. It adopts the STM32H7 series processor, which has higher performance than Pixhawk FMU v5x, and integrates industrial-grade sensors and ultra-low-temperature drift sensors. It supports ArduPilot & PX4 firmware. The X7+ series has better stability and immunity to interference.
Nora+ controller adopts STM32H743 processor, with processing speed up to 480MHz, 1M storage and 2M flash memory, built-in 3 sets of latest Invensense + Bosch + TE series combined sensors and industrial RM3100 compass, with better stability and anti-interference, with CUAV patent shock absorption design and temperature compensation system.Nora adopts Integrated Design and the classic side outlet interface design.
V5 +®CUAV®Advanced controller designed jointly with PX4 team and manufactured by CUAV. It is based on Pixhawk FMUv5 design standards and is perfectly compatible with PX4 and ArduPilot firmware. The separated design can support user customize baseboard.
V5 nano®CUAV®The PX4 team is designed for enterprises or enthusiasts who are extremely sensitive to space but want to acquire V5 powerful functions. It is based on Pixhawk FMUv5 design standards and is perfectly compatible with PX4 and ArduPilot firmware. The price-performance ratio is extremely high.
