Here is the official press release:

Today, Erle Robotics announced the launch of the PXF mini. With the small price of $75, the autopilot offers a shield designed for the $5 Raspberry Pi Zero, although it is compatible with the whole Raspberry family. This breakthrough in cost, weight (15g) and size (71x31mm) brings intelligent Linux autopilots to a larger audience of UAV and robot enthusiasts than ever before.

PXF Mini packs Gravity, Gyroscope, Compass, Pressure, Temperature and Battery Sensors. Its Dronecode connectors make set-up easier and stronger; simply attach to the Raspberry Pi, plug in drone components and you are Ready-To-Fly.

In keeping with Erle’s philosophy, the PXFmini is Open Code so enthusiasts can hack around and create tailored robots from this platform.
