Pricing for the AF now though makes it clearly something to look at if you're getting started. $45 bucks (if you got in on the sale) versus $199 at 3DR - that was a no brainer. I have to say - before Arduflyer came onto the scene, Crius was the way to go. These important differences are basically invisible to most people, they are extras, they cost more money, but are well worth the extra as the result is a far more robust design for only $33 extra, it is actually less than that as ArduFlyer 2.5 price includes FREE shipping. If you order ArduFlyer with CN-06 V2 and 3DRadio you get the right connectors on separate leads, very tidy, on AIO PRO you have to muck around with their weird lead arrangement you have to make Y leads etc, it is more messy.Īll the optional pins from ATMega2560 that can be used in ArduCopter ARE ALL available on headers on ArduFlyer. Why did ArduCopter go to the bother and extra expense of having level converters and SPI interface for those sensors ? because SPI is faster, more reliable in an electrically noisy environment, and the code is both easier to write and debug when using ISP rather than i2c interface.ĪrduFlyer has current limiting resistors on every PWM Input and every PWM output pin protecting the ATmega2560 input and output pins from accidents during wiring setup.ĪrduFlyer has fuses and reverse polarity protection.ĪrduFlyer has SPI DataFlash and is 100% compatible with ArduCopter - no need to wait for MP NG updates.ĪrduFlyer has an easy option for disabling on-board Magnetometer and connecting an external magnetometer. The ArduFlyer has the "better" gyro/acc MPU-6000 using SPI interface with level converter, AIOP V2 uses MPU6050 i2c interface. They both use the same barometer MS5611-01BA03 However AIO Pro communicates with the Barometer using i2c whereas the ArduFlyer uses SPI and has level converters. Any other differences?Ĩ9.99 / 56.99 = 1.58 not twice the price however the ARduflyer is a better choice no matter the price difference which is insignificant when you closely compare the different design features which make the ArduFlyer a more robust Flight Controller, a bit like comparing chalk and cheese really. The ArduFlyer is nearly double the price. Could you quantify that? The AIOPv2 has a (slightly) better gyro/acc sensor.
