Meet the Cubepilot Mini Purple Autopilot kit, a high-performance yet compact drone autopilot system, designed for projects with limited space. Barely 1 cm tall, the Cube Mini Purple is power-packed with features that set it apart in the drone tech world.

The Cube Mini Purple carries the high-performance STM32F427 Flight Management Unit (FMU) and STM32F100 I/O processor. It supports a 10-axis IMU, including MPU9250 and MS5611, ensuring top-notch navigation and stability for your drone projects. With five serial ports, two of which offer full flow control, and two I2C-enabled, you can connect two compass modules simultaneously, enhancing navigation precision to unprecedented levels.

But that’s not all. The Cube Mini Purple also supports SPI, CAN-Bus, CPPM, S.Bus, and DSM/Spektrum inputs, offering a wide range of connectivity options. Power it through USB or two brick ports, safeguarded against reverse-polarity and back-powering. It supports both standard (5V) and high-voltage (up to 10V) servo power. Plus, a backup power port adds an extra layer of safety for uninterrupted operations.

The Cube Mini Purple is not just about performance, it is also about robustness and safety. The servo rail accepts up to 10.5V power, reverting to manual mode if other power sources fail, ensuring your drone project stays safe even under unforeseen circumstances.

Why wait? Experience the cutting-edge technology of the Cubepilot Mini Purple Autopilot kit. Unlock new possibilities in your drone projects with superior navigation, power management, and connectivity. Order your Cubepilot Mini Purple Autopilot kit today and redefine your drone experience.

CubePIlot Purple Details

The Cube Mini Autopilot, also known as the Cube Purple, is a compact and high-performance drone autopilot system designed for projects with limited space. It is about 1 cm tall and features the STM32F427 flight management unit (FMU) and STM32F100 I/O processor, along with a 10-axis IMU (MPU9250 and MS5611). Here are some key details about the Cube Mini:

Connectivity and Ports

• The Cube Mini uses an 80-pin connector for peripheral connections, which are further connected via a baseboard that can be customized for each application​¹​.
• It has five serial ports. Serial 1 and 2 feature full flow control. Serial 3 is recommended for the GPS port. Serial 4 and 5 also provide I2C connectivity, allowing two compass modules to be connected simultaneously​²​.
• It supports SPI communication, but this port is not buffered and should only be used with short cable runs​³​.
• The Cube Mini also supports CAN-Bus, CPPM, S.Bus, and DSM/Spektrum inputs​⁴​.
• The piezo port can drive most piezo elements in the 5 – 300nF range at up to 35V​⁵​.

Power Architecture

• Power can be supplied to the Cube Mini via USB, the power brick port, or the second brick port. Each power source is protected against reverse-polarity connections and back-powering from other sources​⁶​.
• The Cube Mini supports both standard (5V) and high-voltage (up to 10V) servo power with some restrictions​⁷​.
• The Cube Mini introduces a backup power port; this is set up the same as the primary power input​⁸​.
• The servo rail can accept power up to 10.5V, which is used to revert to manual mode in the event that the other two main sources of power fail​⁹​.
• Power from USB is supported for software update, testing, and development purposes​¹⁰​.
• When more than one power source is connected, power will be drawn from the highest-priority source with a valid input voltage​¹¹​.
