CubePilot Pty Ltd. is an Australian company jointly run by leading drone technology suppliers HexAero and ProfiCNC. (HexAero PTE. LTD. is Australian owned and headquartered in Singapore; ProfiCNC Pty Ltd. is Australian owned).

CubePilot is a pioneering hardware and software ecosystem for UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and other unmanned systems. Based on an open-source architecture, CubePilot’s evolving drone autopilot solutions and accessories offer a wide range of applications for the commercial and industrial drone markets.

 

Cube Orange – Open-Source Autopilot

Autopilot control system for drones and unmanned vehicles

Cube Orange is an advanced open source autopilot for drones and robotic vehicles. Based on an ARM Cortex M7 CPU and M3 coprocessor, the compact and lightweight unit features triple redundant temperature-stabilized and vibration-resistant IMUs (Inertial Measurement Units). It is ideal for a variety of unmanned systems, including fixed-wing and multi-rotor UAVs, UGVs (Unmanned Ground Vehicles), USVs (Unmanned Surface Vessels) and UUVs (Unmanned Underwater Vehicles).

 

The system includes an ADS-B carrier board with an integrated uAvionix 1090 MHz receiver for enhanced situational awareness. This ADS-B capability allows drones to receive information from commercial aircraft in the surrounding airspace, improving safety and providing effective detect and avoid (DAA) capabilities.

 

The Cube Orange autopilot can be easily connected to customised carrier boards, allowing it to support specific unmanned vehicle applications, and supports Ardupilot and PX4 open source flight controller firmware.

The unit’s PWM output supports switching between 3.3V and 5V signal levels for universal compatibility with external peripherals.

 

The Cube autopilot is also available in a range of variants – see below for the specifications.
