Ascend Engineering Documentation

Technical documentation for Ascend Engineering hardware and software — UAV companion computers, sensor systems, firmware, and integration guides.

  • Ascend 8tof

    360° time-of-flight obstacle-sensing system — an STM32H563 carrier board reading up to 8× VL53L8CX sensors and emitting a simple ASCII distance stream over UART that any flight controller or onboard computer can consume. Also runs an optional on-board ACO collision-avoidance firmware (MAVLink, beta). Hardware, power, comms, firmware, and integration (with a VOXL2 worked example).
