About

Introducing the Axis Flight Controller — a compact, powerful, and fully open flight controller designed for makers, educators, hobbyists, and commercial developers. Whether you’re designing a quadcopter, fixed-wing aircraft, remote boat, autonomous rover, or a hybrid robotics project, the Axis FC gives you the hardware, I/O, and software freedom to bring your concept to life.

• Built on the Arduino Nano R4

  • Fully programmable using the Arduino IDE. Native Arduino architecture for immediate familiarity and massive community support.

  • Multiple UART, I2C, SPI, PWM outputs, ADC inputs and SBUS support to connect sensors, ESCs, servos, radios, GPS, lidar, and telemetry modules.

  • Onboard IMU with high-precision accelerometer and gyroscope

• Wide Input Voltage with voltage and current monitoring

  • The 3-Pin PWR port allows for input power between 6.0V and 45.0V, with onboard voltage monitoring and current pin to connect an external current sensor

• Open Source Code Base

  • Use our open source code CarbonR4 that currently supports Acro and Auto-Level modes

  • Write your own code using the Arduino IDE for your specific project

• Fast prototyping to production

  • Ideal for classrooms and research: plug-and-play for learning control theory, sensor fusion, and robotics algorithms.

Who it’s for

• Makers who want the flexibility of Arduino and the I/O of a dedicated flight controller.

• Educators teaching control systems, robotics, or embedded programming.

• Developers and small teams prototyping lightweight aerial, marine, or ground platforms.

• Hobbyists who want to customize behavior, integrate sensors, or add autonomous features.
