Product overview

Description

The STEVAL-FCU001V2 is designed to support quad-copter drone designers.

A complete firmware example project allows the designer to begin flying small or medium sized quad-copters (with brushed or brushless DC motors) immediately and evaluate the performance of the IMU sensors under real flight conditions.

The user can refer to the STEVAL-DRONE02 as its companion kit to make their own mini-drone kit.

The FCU can be controlled by a standard external remote controller (PWM input interface) or by a smartphone or tablet through the on-board Bluetooth low energy module (CE, FCC, ARIB, BQE certified).

Pressure sensor is also embedded to support 3D navigation applications.

SWD, I²C and USART connectors are available for firmware development and debugging, and to support additional external sensors or RF modules.

  • All features

    • Compact flight controller unit (FCU) evaluation board with firmware example for a small or medium sized quad-copter
    • On-board LiPo 1-cell battery charger
    • Possibility to directly drive 4 DC brushed motors through the low voltage on-board MOSFET or alternatively use external ESC for DC brushless motor configuration
