The CC3D boards are an all-in-one stabilization hardware which runs the OpenPilot firmware. It can fly any airframe from fixed wing to an octocopter and is configured and monitored using the OpenPilot Ground Control Station (GCS) software.
In 2012 the Original CopterControl boards were discontinued due to lack of available gyro sensors, The board was slightly revised and released with a new gyro sensor that is less effected by temperature changes. The new revision is called CC3D, other than the single sensor it is identical to the original CopterControl. Both CopterControl & CC3D boards are 100% compatible with the current FW release when updated to the v4 bootloader. Any documentation pertaining to the original CopterControl board also applies to the new CC3D.
Features:
- 3-axis Gyroscope array: IDG-500 and ISZ-500

- Supports several common RC inputs: 6 PWM channels, combined PPM, Spektrum/JR DSM2, DSMJ, DSMX satellites, and Futaba S.Bus receivers
- Simultaneous support for multiple receivers
- ReceiverPort functions (configurable): 6 PWM input channels or combined PPM stream, 4 PWM output channels
- MainPort functions (configurable): serial telemetry (default), GPS, S.Bus, Spektrum/JR satellites
- FlexiPort (configurable): serial telemetry, GPS, Spektrum/JR satellites, or I2C peripherals (under development)
- 10 PWM outputs to servos or ESC’s, or for camera stabilization
- Camera stabilization: supports up to 3-axis camera mounts with stabilization and manual control from any of configured receivers
