NAZA v2

[Staib]

Not sure if this has been posted already, but thought that some might be interested. Appears to be about an upcoming upgraded NAZA controller. From the pics I have seen, Orange seems to be the new theme colour on the hardware, GPS dish etc...


New Hardware - PMU V2

New case design with CANBUS port. Enhanced BEC functionality, better
heat dissipation. Extra CANBUS ports, enhances the scalability of the
system and will support Gopro Zenmuse, iOSD and Bluetooth module for
assistant software use on smart phones in the future, etc..

Later NAZA V1 can also be upgraded using PMU V2 and support Gopro Zenmuse, iOSD and Bluetooth module..

Main Controller

The hardware structure has been optimized and the scalability and performance of the flight control system has been enhanced

Independent LED Module

What's new with the NAZA V2 : Firmware and functions

- New attitude stabilization algorithm, provides better flight performance / maneuverability;

- New flight control performance, provides better flight experience;
(flight control is smoother, take-off is easier, and solved the swinging
problem when descending at high speed.)

- Support for Octo-rotor;

- One-motor stopped still can land safely (Hexa-rotor, Octo-rotor)

- Automatic course deviation compensation, reduced the effects of
magnetic disturbance; interference around the compass detection &
warning;

- Added IMU advanced calibration, error identification and warning, reduced the impact of sensor error to the flight performance

Cheers,
Nick

They just need to half the price on the iOSD now ;)

Nice to see they've used black plastic on the sides of the Naza now.  I guess users don't need to apply insulating tape for the sunlight/baro issue  :laugh:

Seriously though, good to see things moving forward and some expandability options for Naza v1 users.

Wonder if the protocol spec they use on the CAN bus link is open? - this would enable aftermarket OSDs to tap into the Naza IMU/GPS data (but guess this wouldn't make business sense for DJI).

I thought they might have added waypoint funtionality :(

Not impressed. I only bought (another) naza + gps last week! I knew i should have waited. Grrr!

Would be nice if they got it working for tricopters.

I'm going to uograde my quad and see if it makes any difference - word on the street is that it works pretty well.
