APM 2.6
for external magnetometer
contentS
Providing the same advanced, multiplatform capabilities as APM 2.5, the 2.6 revision
of the award-winning APM autopilot is designed for an external magnetometer. This
improves flight performance by allowing the compass module (or combined GPS with
compass) to be placed further away from sources of potential magnetic interference.
