Avionics Mini

AvionicsMini by A-techSYN is a generic Flight Controller designed for all types of Drones or UAVs of a certain size ranging from 20 kg up to 150 kg demanding perfect precision flight control. Its small size, low weight, and solid enclosure box makes AvionicsMini more than ideal for any UAV.

Avionics Mini Flight Controller

The Flight controller has double redundancy on flight-critical components.

RTK GPS is optional and can be used in a Plug 'n Fly fashion.

AvionicsMini can manage all kind of known takeoff and landing methods, may it be hand-launched, runway, catapult, parachute or even VTOL!

Unique Features

One of the unique features of the AvionicsMini is that the I/O ports are grouped into smaller Plug 'n Fly type connectors. This enables a modularity that results in:

  • Swift operations on the field
  • Easy maintenance
  • Define faulty components, wires, connectors easily
  • Exchange of faulty components and wires only.

Thanks to the unique algorithms developed by A-techSYN in-house, AvionicsMini has been integrated and tested on fixed wing, delta wing, H-Tail and T-Tail UAVs for over 500 hours with great success and can also be used to control Quad/Hex/Quattro Copters and even on Rotary Wing Unmanned Vehicles.

Technical Specifications

  • Fully autonomous flight control
  • Compatible with A-techSYN GCS
  • Works with 7-17 V DC power input
  • Has ESD protection on all inputs and outputs
  • Has reverse voltage protection
  • Comes with 6.0V 40A PMU
  • -20 to +85 °C operation capability

Double Redundant Internal Sensors!

  • 2x Airspeed Sensor
  • 2x Digital Compass
  • 2x Altimeter
  • 2x IMU
  • 2x GPS
  • Voltage Sensor

All connectors on the box can be customised and regrouped to customer specific applications during production.

AvionicsMini integrates all necessary sensors and outputs into a single box. It features redundant flight-critical hardware (IMU, GPS, Altimeter, Airspeed, Compass), ESD and reverse voltage protection. External I/O ports are available for Telemetry, RC module, Gimbal, EFI data, or other payloads.

The external telemetry connection module allows you to use any frequency for C2 (Command and Control).

Upgrade your UAV to VTOL!

AvionicsMini's VTOL control algorithm enables vertical takeoff to level flight transitions, making VTOL capability possible for your UAV. A-techSYN provides integration services.

AvionicsMini's airspeed redundancy goes beyond having two pitots. It can detect clogged pitots or unconnected pipes and automatically switch to a healthy sensor.

Weak GPS jamming signals? AvionicsMini filters GPS output to prevent dangerous autopilot reactions (like diving or flying like a rocket) that could lead to UAV loss.

UAVs with AvionicsMini

Extending the Capability of Your Flight Controller

AvionicsMini supports CAN Bus connectivity. With CAN Adapters, any component (fuel level sensors, fuel flow sensors, RPM sensors, relays, etc.) can be converted into a plug-and-play extension for your UAV's CAN network, even if the components don't natively support CAN. The adapters act as translators between analog/serial ports and CAN.

A feature that provides communication tunnels in the datalink, enabling a private virtual serial connection from the ground control computer to the payload without additional hardware.

AvionicsMini keeps an eye on your UAV.

It detects various anomalies in your UAV such as:

  • extreme aileron trims
  • partial or complete loss in thrust
  • loss in capability to control attitude
  • loss in capability to control heading
  • excessive cross track error
  • visually clear and color coded operator warnings
  • and more!
