Piccolo Nano Piccolo SL Piccolo II Designed to meet the requirements of the smallest UAVs where the vehicle structure provides the enclosure and the autopilot components need to be distributed within the airframe’s available space. With its thin form factor and flexible I/O capability (14 configurable GPIO lines) is ideal for small fixed wing and VTOL platforms. Adds functionality and flexibility for advanced UAS including additional I/O for support (16 configurable GPIO lines) for payload intensive applications.
