Product Description
Spirit W3 is brand new stabilisation system for R/C aircrafts featuring control unit and receiver in one extraordinary package!
It combines the best available technologies from both worlds to offer cutting edge experience. In other words, Spirit W3 consists from Spirit 3 hardware and Spirit Wave receiver.
Manual available at the Wiki pages.
Outstanding ARM M7 processor
M7 performance-line processor is truly unbelievable! It is 3x faster than M4 and brings amazing
features.
This adds free room for any possible math operation allowing to calculate anything imaginable the unit could ever need.
Real-Time Logging capability
Logging of everything - that is now possible for the first time! Until now, logging at 500Hz rate was barely possible. That is not an issue anymore. Thanks to durable Dedicated Memory Chip with long-life!
You can see how your model was flying in the air thanks to 3D Rendering inside the Spirit Settings software.
Pressure Sensor
Yes, it is there and fully embedded. Unparalleled precision of 1 Pascal allow extremely precise altitude measurement . With the innovative algorithms and Sensor Fusion technology the precision goes further down. It can be utilised in a various of ways such as Altitude hold or even Automatic Rescue system.
Industry-leading Motion Sensor
Motion Sensor with 20 bit precision was unimaginable few months ago. Everybody can taste it
yourself now.
Superb stability through temperature gradient and Vibration immunity few times better than in any other unit. Antialiasing feature and Spirit algorithms makes the Rescue function Top of the line.
Redundant PowerTrain
With Spirit 2 and then evolved in Spirit 3 we have developed separated power supplies for the unit itself and peripherals. Now with Spirit W3 design was enhanced to minimise voltage drops even for peripherals!
