CUAV X25 EVO Controller Description :

Power Innovation | Disruptive Wide-Range Power Supply Architecture

X25 EVO is fully upgraded to a 10V ~ 18V high-voltage power supply, significantly improving power supply efficiency.

The baseboard has a built-in 5V/15A DC-DC high-power converter, and the external interface supports 5V/12A output, empowering heavy-load devices.

Striving for Excellence | Brand-New Industrial IMU Sensor Matrix

The non-similarity IMU sensor matrix is composed of 3 sets of TDK industrial-grade IMUs, 2 sets of barometers, and the industrial-grade RM3100 anti-interference magnetometer. It supports failover and ensures safe operation in various complex environments.

The IIM series sensors are equipped with high-precision constant-temperature active external clocks, which can greatly reduce ODR errors and effectively improve the sensitivity and synchronization of systems.

Select TDK industrial-grade sensors with high precision, high anti-vibration capacity, large range, low noise, and slight temperature drift.

(IIM-42653/ IIM-42652/ IIM-42653)

Powerful Performance | High-Performance H7 Processor

It adopts a high-performance STM32H7 processor, bringing powerful intelligent computing power to the system and supporting secure boot and secure firmware upgrade services. During operation, the CPU occupancy rate is lower, and it is compatible with the complete ArduPilot and PX4 drivers and functions (such as IMU temperature learning, non-GPS navigation, FFT filtering algorithm, and LUA script), and provides ample space for follow-up development and compatibility with new drivers.

Dual Temperature Compensation System | Redefine Standard of Sensor Performance & Precision

X25 EVO features a newly upgraded dual temperature compensation system. The onboard IMU and the motherboard temperature control work in conjunction to build a constant temperature zone inside the controller, ensuring IMU, MCU, and crystal oscillator are always kept in a constant temperature environment, maintaining system performance stability, reducing performance damage caused by temperature drift, and ensuring measurement accuracy.

It responds to temperature differences at the millisecond level and achieves real-time and precise compensation within ±0.5℃.

Compared with previous generation controllers, temperature drift is reduced by 15%, and the consistency of the attitude algorithm is improved by 25%.

Rock-Solid | Double Shock-Absorption Structure System

The newly upgraded CUAV patented fourth-generation tilt-symmetric damping matrix shock absorber system, with an optional external fixed ear shock absorber to form a dual shock absorption system, can effectively suppress abnormal high-frequency vibration, reduce external interference, improve sensor data accuracy, and better adapt to different working conditions.

Global Awareness | CAN Bus + 100M Ethernet

By connecting to intelligent batteries and ESCs via CAN, X25 EVO can transmit status, operating temperature, and device information of intelligent batteries, motors, ESCs, servos, and other system devices, enabling status monitoring among unmanned system devices and enhancing system safety.

X25 EVO integrates a 100M Ethernet interface, supports Ethernet expansion of onboard computers, optical cameras, and data links, and can provide high-real-time, large-bandwidth communication guarantees for AI applications such as unmanned system swarm operations, visual navigation, and tracking.
