Description
The RadioLink Pixhawk Flight Controller (Part No: RLKA001002) is an advanced 32-bit autopilot system based on the open-source 3DR Pixhawk design. RadioLink has refined the original hardware with an optimized circuit layout to reduce electromagnetic interference and improve sensor accuracy. This controller is a "workhorse" for serious RC hobbyists and commercial operators, supporting everything from quadcopters and octocopters to fixed-wing aircraft, rovers, and boats.
Key Features:
- High-Performance Dual Processors: Features a primary 32-bit STM32F427 Cortex M4 core with a floating-point unit (FPU) for complex flight calculations, backed by an STM32F100 failsafe co-processor.
- Advanced Sensor Suite: Equipped with an MPU6000 6-axis accelerometer/gyro, an IST8310 digital compass/magnetometer, and a MS5611 high-precision barometer for rock-solid altitude hold.
- Expanded Memory (FRAM): Includes 256KB of non-volatile memory (FM25V02), allowing for the storage of over 700 waypoints for autonomous missions.
- Automation Software Testing: Unlike generic clones, RadioLink units undergo a proprietary automated testing system that verifies every sensor and interface for 100% functionality before leaving the factory.
- Comprehensive Connectivity: Provides a massive array of ports including 5x UARTs, CAN, I2C, SPI, and dedicated Spektrum DSM and S.BUS inputs.
- Rich Peripheral Support: Works seamlessly with OSD modules, GPS (like the SE100), telemetry radios, and ultrasonic obstacle avoidance sensors.

Setup Tip:
The RLKA001002 is often categorized as a "2.4.8" version, which denotes it has the discontinued sensors replaced with modern, more stable equivalents (like the IST8310). Pro-Tip: When first connecting to Mission Planner, ensure you calibrate the Accelerometer and Compass in an area away from large metal objects or high-voltage lines to ensure the flight controller builds an accurate internal map of its orientation.
Package Contents: Typically includes the Pixhawk unit, 2-12S Power Module, Safety Switch, Buzzer, 4GB Micro SD Card, and all necessary connection cables.
