    . 2015-1-ES01-KA202-015925 RONE ROJECT NO At first glance it can be seen that APM 2.6 is a higher version to CC3D both hardware and software. Thanks to the magnetometer and a barometer built 2.6 AMP control of two degrees of freedom to our drone (Altitude and YAW), degrees of freedom that could not be controlled with precision CC3D model are added.
  • Page 13 • Why does this procedure do? The motors used for Spedix are called brushless motors. These motors work in conjunction with an ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) and APM to control them. The APM processes the value that sends the station and he sends it to the ESC to vary the speed of the motors.
