Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. What is the main benefit of the integrated ADS-B on the carrier board?

Ans. The integrated ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) receiver allows your drone to detect nearby manned aircraft equipped with ADS-B Out, providing real-time traffic information to the ground station. This significantly enhances airspace awareness and safety, especially in shared airspace or for BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) operations.

Q2. How does the triple redundant IMU system in the Cube Orange+ improve reliability?

Ans. The Cube Orange+ features three independent Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). This triple redundancy provides multiple data sources for attitude and position estimation. If one IMU fails or produces erroneous data, the flight controller can seamlessly switch to or average data from the other healthy IMUs, ensuring uninterrupted and safe flight control.

Q3. Is the Cube Orange+ compatible with both ArduPilot and PX4 firmware?

Ans. Yes, the HEX Cube Orange Plus is fully compatible with both the popular open-source flight firmware projects, ArduPilot and PX4. This flexibility allows users to choose the robust and feature-rich firmware that best suits their specific drone application and development needs.
