Products: Plejad Celaeno

FEATURES 

Plejad Celaeno is a small electronics board (51x51cm) for controlling a Quadrocopter/Multicopter:

• 3-Axis flight attitude stabilization using excellent MEMS gyroscope sensors
• On board PIN headers for Acceleration sensor and barometric pressure sensr (available Spring 2011)
• Support for multicopters with up to 8 separately controlled brushess engines via 4 PPM outputs (8 using the PCC Extender) and I2C Bus
• 2 Servo outputs and 4 remotely switchable LED ports
• Connector for LCD Terminal for adjustment of settings at the airfield
• PPM sum signal decoding of up to 8 channels
• Buzzer and LED for voltage monitoring and settings selection

Celaeno is built around a standard Arduino board and fully based on through-hole components.

Unique:

• Automatic teach-in of RC channel assignments and control throws (incl. channel reverse)
• Adjustment and fine tuning via transmitter and LCD display (no PC Software required)
• LCD Display Terminal for configuration and diagnostics
• Updateable via USB
• Serial telemetry functions (optional via Bluetooth)
• Future extension boards can be connected via I2C bus or serial UART connector
• Future processor upgrades are possible by replacing the Arduino board
