PDRL AeroFC V2 Flight Controller with Triple IMU

The PDRL AeroFC V2 is an autopilot designed and built in India for survey and spraying drones, and equally at home on mapping, logistics, inspection and custom UAV projects. It works with open-source flight firmware and ground control software, so integrators can build their own workflows without being locked in.

Key features

• STM32H7 main processor (Cortex-M7, 480 MHz) backed by an STM32F1 co-processor (Cortex-M3, 72 MHz).
• Triple IMU system with isolated IMUs, an isolated onboard magnetometer and support for two external compasses.
• Two barometers: one isolated, one on the board.
• 8 motor PWM outputs plus 4 auxiliary PWM/digital I/O.
• Dual CAN, dual GPS support, a dedicated telemetry port and PPM/SBUS RC input.
• Aerospace-grade aluminium enclosure rated for -40 to +85 °C.

Specifications

• Main processor: STM32H7, 32-bit Cortex-M7, 480 MHz
• Co-processor: STM32F1, 32-bit Cortex-M3, 72 MHz
• Sensors: triple IMU, onboard magnetometer (plus 2 external), dual barometer
• Motor outputs: 8 PWM
• Auxiliary I/O: 4 PWM/digital
• Serial: 1 telemetry, 2 GPS, 2 auxiliary UART
• Other interfaces: 2 CAN, 1 I2C, 1 RC input, USB, SD card, power and current/voltage sensing

On spraying builds, use the second GPS port for redundant GNSS and the CAN buses for peripherals, and wire the battery through the dedicated power and current-sensing port so failsafes see true pack voltage.
