Choosing a flight controller that meets your needs can be challenging, but you don’t have to worry. At zbotic.in, we are here to help you get a quality product. Check out this Pixhawk 2.4.8 32 Bit PX4 Autopilot flight controller for your drone application. All you need to do is look at its specifications.
A common question from our community is “what is a flight controller?” and here is the answer. The flight controller (aka FC) is the brain of the drone (quadcopter). It is a circuit board with various sensors that detect the drone’s movement and the user’s commands, just like the Pixhawk 2.4.8 does. Based on this data, it controls the speed of the motors to make the drone move as instructed.
It supports 8 RC channels and 4 serial ports. You can program it, review logs, and even use some apps for smartphones and tablets with different user interfaces. It also detects and configures all its peripherals automatically.
The Pixhawk system has many advantages, such as a Unix/Linux-like programming environment, new autopilot functions, sophisticated scripting of missions and flight behaviour, and a custom PX4 driver layer that ensures precise timing across all processes.

Features of Pixhawk 2.4.8:
- The advanced 32-bit ARM CortexM4 high-performance processors; can run NuttX RTOS real-time operating system.
- 14 PWM / servo output.
- Bus interface (UART, I2C, SPI, CAN).
- The integrated backup power and backup controller fails; the primary controller fails over to the backup control is safe.
- Provide automatic and manual modes.
- Provide redundant power input and failover.
- Multicolor LED lights.
- Provide a multi-tone buzzer Interface.
Pixhawk Pinout Connections :
 Pixhawk buzzer :
This buzzer is used with Pixhawk and PX4 autopilot to annunciate status tones. The buzzer includes a two-position DF14 connector on one side that plugs directly into the Pixhawk or PX4 FMU board.The Passive buzzer has a JST-SH connector on one side that plugs directly into the Pixhawk.Once connected you will be able to hear different sounds that relate to different modes.
    Specification :
- Fit for Pixhawk PX4 flight controller
- Different tones in different flight modes
- DF13 Plug,cable length 18cmMicro SD card to record flight data.
Pixhawk Saftey Switch :
This is a replacement safety switch for the Pixhawk 1. The switch is used to enable/disable the outputs to motors and servos. It also features a status LED light.
LED Meaning:
- Constant blinking – the system is initialising
- Intermittent blinking – system is ready. Press the safety switch to enable output to the motors.
- Solid – safety switch has been pressed. Motors and servos are able to move once the vehicle is armed.
APM 2.5.2/2.6/2.8 Pixhawk Power Module V1.0:
- Max input voltage: 28V
- Max current sensing: 90A
- Voltage and current measurement configured for 5V ADC
- Switching regulator outputs 5.3V and 3A max
- 6-pos DF13 cable plugs directly to APM 2.5’s ‘PM’ connector
- Support 6S battery.
PIXHAWK PPM Encoder Module:
- Support the input channels: 8.
- Output: PPM SUM × 1 / MUX × 1.
Glass Fiber Flight Controller Anti-vibration/Shock absorber Set:
- Color: Black
- Material: Glass-fiber
- Suit for the different open-source flight controllers, like APM 2.5/2.6/2.8, KK, MWC, and Pixhawk 2.4
Pixhawk RGB Module :
This includes an external RGB-LED and USB receptacle to connect to Pixhawk. Use the provided cables    and connect to the I2C splitter module to set up a bright, multicolor LED and convenient USB port for     your vehicle.
   Features:
- RGB indicator extends to outside displaying
- Extension USB interface for external USB connection
- The same LED controller and RGB LED with Pixhawk
PPM Module :
Pulse position modulation (PPM) encoding is the system where encoding is carried out by positioning     the pulses. The PPM encoder allows to encode up to 8 PWM (pulse width modulated) signals      into one PPM (pulse position modulation) signal.
This PPM encoder will encode regular PWM inputs into a single PPM output. This allows you to combine up to 8 channels from a regular RC receiver to a single wire PPM input for your flight controller e.g. Pixhawk or APM. The nice thing about PPM is that it will enable you to reduce all channels to a single wire, excluding ground and power lines.
Package Includes :
- Pixhawk 2.4.8
- Buzzer
- Safety Switch
- Power Module
- RGB Connector
- I2C extension
- Shock absorber mount
- SD Card
- PPM Encoder
