Flight Controller Feature Highlights
1. Independent CAN1 and CAN2 ports and API Serial port for the Onboard SDK. The CAN1 port is used to
connect the GPS-Compass Pro and DJI devices (e.g. RTK GPS) while the CAN2 port is used to connect
SDK devices.
2. Built-in inertial sensors for the measurement of aircraft attitude and built-in pressure sensor for the
detection of aircraft altitude.
3. Support for multiple receiver types. If used with the DJI Lightbridge 2, the A3 has direct access to features
in the DJI GO app such as Intelligent Flight Modes.
4. M1 to M8 are used to connect the ESCs of the aircraft and iESC for DJI Intelligent ESC communication.
5. 4 independent and configurable output ports and 4 I/O ports. These ports can be customized and
connect other DJI devices (e.g. DJI Zenmuse Z15 gimbals, DJI Intelligent Landing Gear) or SDK devices.
