DEVICE AND PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Figure 1. Block Diagram of the Flight Controller

The flight controller (see Fig. 1) consists of the following modules:

1. Main Processor
   The central processing unit controlling all autopilot systems, including sensor data processing, mission execution, and coordination between modules.
2. Inertial Navigation Module
   A highly reliable triple-triple redundant module ensuring precise angular orientation and acceleration, even in case of failure of one or more components.
3. Static and Dynamic Pressure Sensors, Thermometer: Sensors for measuring static and dynamic air pressure, used for airspeed calculation altitude, and ambient temperature — essential for accurate flight dynamics.
4. High-Precision Clock Generators: Internal highly stable clock sources (±2.5/5 ppm) ensuring synchronization of the processor, navigation module, and interface drivers.
5. FLASH and FRAM Memory Modules: Non-volatile memory devices for storing critical data like system parameters, configurations, tasks, and log files.
6. Servo Control Interface: Supports up to 14 external actuators with EMI and ESD protection, ensuring high-reliability control; also usable as general-purpose I/O (GPIO).
7. I2C and UART Interfaces: Universal protected interfaces with EMI/ESD shielding and re-drivers for signal integrity.

8. Power Management Module: Wide input voltage range (8–50 V) with EMI/ESD filtering, powering all internal subsystems and generating required voltage levels.
9. Thermostat Controller: Stabilizes inertial sensor temperatures, includes autonomous preheating for low-temp operation down to -55 °C.
10. RSSI IN, SBUS IN, PPM IN Inputs: Interfaces for connecting RC receivers and monitoring radio signal strength (RSSI).
11. USB Type-C Port: Universal port for debug powering, firmware flashing (DFU), and connection to onboard computer or configuration software.
12. Ethernet 10/100 Base Port: Network interface with Passive PoE support (up to 50 V) for integration with ground stations or networked devices.
13. RS485 Ports: Two isolated EMI/ESD-protected ports, future support for MODBUS-capable devices.
14. CAN Ports: Two isolated ports with EMI/ESD protection, supporting DroneCAN for integration with modern onboard and peripheral systems.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The flight controller must be operated according to the requirements and conditions specified in this technical passport. Exceeding operational limits is not permitted.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION

The controller must be stored in an individual box and antistatic bag, in a dry, heated, and clean environment with a temperature from +5 to +40 °C and relative humidity not exceeding 80%.
