This exceptional flight controller, developed by the OpenPilot community is now available and is shipped from our US warehouse. This CC3D was produced in close collaboration with OpenPilot and is manufactured with the best components and at a reputable, commercial grade 'pick and place' facility. The CC3D provides a crisp feel when flying tricopters, quads, hexas, octocopters, and even fixed wing planes. 

Ships with

• Fully assembled and quality tested CC3D board with right angle pins (no soldering required)
• One OpenPilot RC RX connection cable
• 2x Serial cables for accessories

CC3D CopterControl Hardware Features

• Powerful STM32 32-bit microcontroller running at 90MIPs with 128KB Flash and 20KB RAM
• 3-axis high-performance MEMs gyros and 3-axis high-performance MEMs accelerometer
• Tiny 36mmx36mm 4 layer PCB for superior electrical noise reduction and flight performance.
• Software support for Windows, Mac and Linux
• Direct high speed USB support with no drivers required, a truly plug and play device.
• Spektrum satellite receiver support
• Futaba S-BUS hardware support
• Innovative Flexi-port technology for superior port flexibility
• 4Mbits on-board EEPROM for configuration storage

Flexiport

CopterControl also offers the innovative Flexi-port which provides either I2C connectivity or a second serial port. Flexi-port gives CopterControl the flexibility to use either I2C and a single serial port or dual serial ports, according to your connectivity needs.

Superior user experience

OpenPilot has tried to make your experience with the CC3D as easy and trouble-free as possible. Naturally for a high-end product, the hardware is complete; there is nothing to solder. The included RC harness allows you to connect any standard PWM receiver. All CopterControl boards are tested before shipping and come with bootloader already flashed. A standard mini-USB cable (not included) is used to load the latest firmware and configure everything for your unique airframe.

The OpenPilot project, whist still young, it trying to make Open Source much more user friendly. OpenPilot software is designed to be used by everybody! All major operating systems are supported and install packages are provided. The software is all Free software under the GPLv3 license and not only are you welcome to hack it, but we encourage it!
