Description
The STEVAL-FCU001V1 is designed to support
quadcopter drone designers.
A complete sample FW project allows the
designer to begin flying small and medium size
quadcopters (with brushed or brushless DC
motors) immediately and evaluate the
performance of the IMU sensors under real flight
conditions.
The FCU can be controlled by a standard
external remote controller (PWM input interface)
or by a smartphone or tablet throguh the
Bluetooth low energy module present on board
(CE, FCC, ARIB, BQE certified).
Magnetometer and pressure sensors are also
embedded to support 3D navigation applications.
SWD, I²C and USART connectors are available
for FW development and debugging, and to
support additional external sensors or RF
modules.
