ShareGoo 8CH PPM Encoder & I2C Splitter Expand Module Breakout Board for RC Pixhawk PPZ MK MWC MegaPirate APM Flight Controller
Product Description
ShareGoo 8CH PPM Encoder & I2C Splitter Expand Module Breakout Board for RC Pixhawk PPZ MK MWC MegaPirate APM Flight Controller
- The PPM Encoder plugs into the PWM servo output ports of any R/C receiver and encodes them into a PPM pulse suitable for many autopilots (e.g. Pixhawk). Modifications to the R/C receiver are not necessary.
- The whole project is based around the ATMEL ATMEGA328p AVR processor and all timing is done within interrupts so accuracy and stability is optimized.
- Important Note: The firmware comes pre-configured to read 8 Channels. In case you would like to change the settings of the PPM encoder to invert the PPM signal and change the fail safe pre-defined values you will need an AVR ISP programmer in order to reprogram it.
- The I2C splitter expands the I2C port to allow up to four additional peripherals to connect to Pixhawk.
- Use the 4 pin cable to connect the I2C splitter and add a compass module, external LED, digital airspeed sensor, or other peripherals to your vehicle
PPM Encoder Description:
The PPM Encoder plugs into the PWM servo output ports of any R/C receiver and encodes them into a PPM pulse suitable for many autopilots (e.g. Pixhawk). Modifications to the R/C receiver are not necessary.
The whole project is based around the ATMEL ATMEGA328p AVR processor and all timing is done within interrupts so accuracy and stability is optimized.
Firmware is free and was created by John Arne and Olivier Adler.
The design of the PPM Encoder is based on the Paperazzi PPM Encoder.
Important Note: The firmware comes pre-configured to read 8 Channels. In case you would like to change the settings of the PPM encoder to invert the PPM signal and change the fail safe pre-defined values you will need an AVR ISP programmer in order to reprogram it.
The jumper on the board no soldering default. In this case the board powered by FC
I2C-Splitter Module Description:
The I2C splitter expands the I2C port to allow up to four additional peripherals to connect to Pixhawk.
Use the 4-wire cable to connect the I2C splitter and add a compass module, external LED, digital airspeed sensor, or other peripherals to your vehicle.
Package includes:
PPM Encoder x 1
10 Pin input cable x 1
4 Pin output cable x 1
Pixhawk-I2C module x 1
60mm 4 Pin cable for I2C x1
