AirMind today (Dec. 31, 2024) announced a new member in MindRacer family named "Firecrest", by the end of year 2024. With a form-factor of only 19 x 19mm, Firecrest is the smallest flight controller in the line so far, and maybe among all in the class that using a 400Mhz H743 processor. This makes Firecrest can be fit into the tiny 20x20 mount frames.
MindRacer Gen.3 hardware can unleash its full potential with PX4 autopilot system v1.14 and after.
Key features on PX4 includes:
MRPDB V3 integrates high performance, multi-output BECs together with 4-in-1 ESC in a compact size of racing-spec PCB. With WEP2 stacking receptacles MRPDB V3 can have MindRacer Gen.3 FC directly mounted and works together seamlessly.
With industry leading performance. MRPDB V3 can accepts 3~6S battery, and allows 50A maximum current to driver high performance BLDC motors. This V3 PDB has one 5V output BEC, and one
selectable output high voltage BEC. These BECs can deliver up to 60W power in total to support more powerful and complicated on-board electronics.
AirMind team brings new generation 3 of MindRacer to the market.
MindRacer Gen.3 is not just an upgrade of its previous version, but actually a brand new design of latest modularized architecture for racing drone. The Generation 3 architecture defines new WEP2 stacking interface, which brings out total 98 I/O signals in a very compact size of standard racing drone. This means far more comprehensive and flexible set of peripherals and combinations can be supported by Gen.3 architecture than anything before.
Airmind unleased MindRacer fully stackable flight platform for miniature UAVs. Based on MindPX, MindRacer further scales down in formfactor while focused on providing modularity. MindRacer is a platform rather than a flight controller.
MindRacer implements the SEP(soldering-elimination-port) and WEP(wiring-elimination-protocol) concepts. Before SEP and WEP, soldering and wiring are always the major pain and efficiency killer during UAV manufacturing and tuning.
