"Ok, looks like Scicos is gonna need Leopard or 10.5 OSX so I need a DVD to burn that will get one tomorrow. I DL'ed the mac version of arkscicos. Cant wait to see it run on the mac."

I renamed the toolbox since I am in the process of adding scilab support in addition to scicoslab."

The ArkScicos ScicosLab toolbox is useful for drone control design, simulation, and testing and is compatible with FlightGear, MAVLink (QGroundControl/ArduPilotMega), and the JSBSim Trimming GUI software. This creates a completely open source toolchain for developing aircraft models, finding trim states for control, and developing controllers. The ArkScicos…
ContinueJSBSim Trimming Demo for F16 and Shadow UAS
Posted on February 2, 2012 at 12:30pm 3 Comments 1 Like
A gui for JSBSim is demonstrated. The gui is capable of trimming any aircraft modeled in JSBSim at various flight conditions. It can simulate the aircraft at the calculated trim conditions, save the linearizations around these trim states, and output the linearization to a form readable by ScicosLab. The software is demonstrated on the standard f16 model included with JSBSim and a shadow UAV model, part of arkhangar. The linearized state space models output at the trim…

This is a heading hold test for the ArduPilotMega based (ArduBoat) sailboat autopilot. The boat is sailed manually on a reach and then heads downwind holding a heading of 0 degrees and performs a jibe.We have waypoint guidance working in hardware-in-the-loop, so we expect to do waypoint testing soon. We might have to figure out a better solution for our digital wind…
ContinueSailboat Autopilot Design for ArduPilotMega
Posted on December 2, 2011 at 12:30am 9 Comments 2 Likes
We just finished up modeling sailboat dynamics and implemented a controller. The dynamics were interesting due to the swinging airfoil. We modeled the winch system using a basic spring model that can only pull the sail in. It works well and can simulate irons, tacking, and jibing. All of the drag coefficients etc. are very rough at this point but the overall dynamics…

- Hey James,
Thanks for the info. I am only doing a longitudinal model of the easystar in Simulinkg to check elevator responses based on an optimal controller. I am using your datcom generated tables for the lift, drag and moment coefficients needed based on the angle of attack..
- At 9:14am on July 26, 2010, PatrickD said…
- At the moment, i have just put in a reasonable values for the lift and pitching moment coefficients due elevator deflection seeing as I had no data. I would be interested if you have more realistic data that you are willing to share. The simulink model is based on simplified longitudinal eq. of motions in wind axis. I have a mathematical constant speed controller in my model to enable it to trim at around 15m/s. I have also implemented an elevator controller based on my supervising teacher work in optimal control.

Hi James
While trying to get a home-built autopilot to fly airplanes without ailerons I found your model of Easystar on the oooark. I've been trying to get the autopilot to fly it safely, but it seems my autopilot favors airplanes with ailerons since it has some problems flying that model. I just wanted to check if there's any problems with the model you're aware of, or if you're saitsfied with the way it behaves in the air.
Best regards
/Lars

dmohankkvr said… Hi James,
I want to interface ardupilot with scilab, and control my UAV from there. Could you please tell me what toolboxes you have used to interface with ardupilot. Is this simple? and how long does it take to develop this link? i'm totally new to microcontrollers.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohan

I will be using Ardupilot Mega. Does this mavsim toolbox come along with scilab? or I have to download it separately and install it. My job is to test the control algorithms for controlling the aircraft. Developing the interface is not the main idea. But if it is readily available, I want to use that one. Can I command the servos as well with this toolbox?
Thanks
Mohan

Junior Sammy said… What is the accuracy of ArduRover i.e. your http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1iJWIKbAQc video? Are there any test results such as how close the rc car stopped at the indicated stopping waypoint? Within 1m, 2metres etc? This info will be greatly appreciated, thanks. Also in that video is the magnetometer really needed? How much accuracy does it help with?

Hi James,
I checkout out revision 177 of ArduPilotOne which I believe is the Ardurover version from the youtube video but when I try to compile it I get the error:
"MAVLINK_COMM_NB_HIGH" was not declared in this scope
How can I fix this? One of the libraries path may be wrong or not included?
- At 8:26am on June 20, 2011,
DeveloperJames Goppert said… - Ok, you will need to edit the svn externals to match the ardupilotmega library revisions at that date.

Season Two of the Trust Time Trial (T3) Contest has now begun. The third round was a reliablilty/aerial photography round for both planes and copters, which is now closed. Stay tuned for the next round, beginning soon.A list of all T3 contests is here.
