Vector
The Aerium Vector is a compact, M.2‑Key E integrated flight controller featuring redundant sensor arrays, GNSS, and airspeed sensing, built for Pixhawk-compatible UAVs and robotics platforms.
General
- All‑in‑one flight controller combining:
- Dual 6‑axis IMUs (accelerometer + gyroscope)
- Dual barometric pressure sensors
- Dual magnetometers (compasses)
- Integrated high‑sensitivity GPS
- Integrated differential pitot airspeed sensor
- Standard M.2 2242 Key E form factor (22 × 42 mm), ideal for space‑constrained systems.
Mechanical
- Weight: ~12 g
- Dimensions: 22 mm × 42 mm (M.2 2242 Key E)
