Parrot A.R Drone 2.0 Main Board

The Parrot A.R Drone 2.0 Main Board is designed for use with the now famous radio controlled quadricopter, the AR Drone 2.0.

The AR.Drone main board embeds the vertical camera, the Wi-Fi chip, and the Parrot CPU. The main board includes the Parrot P6 central CPU of the AR.Drone. The P6 chip has been specially designed for the AR.Drone. It includes a 468 MIPS ARM926EJ Risc CPU and a video accelerator. The main board runs Linux along with AR.Drone software, and includes a 256 Mb, 200 MHz, 32 Bits MDDR RAM and 32Mb of NAND Flash. It also includes a Wi-Fi chipset from Atheros and a USB Port for direct flashing and future extensions.

The Atmel P6MU chip is a power management chipset and also includes the 60 FPS vertical camera. The video resolution is QCIF 176 x 144pixels, which combined with the accelerometers provides the AR.Drone’s horizontal velocity. The Parrot software performs stabilising and auto piloting of the AR.Drone, video compression from VGA to QVGA, compressed with a MJPEG video codec for the frontal camera, QCIF and MJPEG for the vertical one plus streaming. Managing the Wi-Fi communication with the external controllers over its own Ad hoc network, the AR.Drone main board software is fully upgradable. This kit includes 1 x main board and 4 x screws.
