Rapid-IOT to Drone Adapter Board

RDDRONE-IoT

Roll over image to zoom in

The RDDRONE-IOT or HoverGames drone IoT adapter board (HDIB) provides a CAN and serial interface between the popular NXP RAPID-IOT development kit and the RDDRONE-FMUK66 or any other PX4 enabled flight controller (such as PixHawk). This allows the Rapid-IoT to be used as a peripheral, sensor, 802.15.4 Zigbee/Thread radio, LCD display or controller to a drone or rover.

With over 950 additional click modules available, you can quickly plug in anything from a gas sensor, LED array or LoRa radio module.

Note:

  • This is a developer board with several optional circuit paths that may require soldering jumpers to configure to your requirements. Consult the schematics for the optional configurations.
  • This board can also be used as a VSCP.org CAN development tool with the addition of one regulator.
