"Of course flying the autopilot is nice, but in my mind, any presentation as intelligently managed and well presented as this one is a good way to rapidly give some clue about UAVs to a lay audience. Very well done Koen!"

Maiden flight of "The Kodel": autopilot-to-be

Posted on December 27, 2008 at 10:06am 5 Comments

Today my autopilot hardware took the sky for the first time. Although this maiden flight was successful, its only a first step.





The primary goal of the test was to see if the autopilot failsafe mechanisms operated fine:

- no lockup on division by zero

- instant regain of control after brown-out causing reboot

- no lock on uncaught interrupts

- handover to servo failsafe positions on RC reception lost

- instant… Continue

Prototype of "The Kodel": a minimalistic PIC microcontroller based autopilot

Posted on December 21, 2008 at 5:59am 0 Comments

I have been working on/off on an autopilot to use in RC airplanes. The goal is to fully automatically take pictures of an object like a house, construction site, etc.



I made the hardware in last year's Christmas holiday. During the year I spend a few hours writing the embedded software for it (in C, works much faster then assembly).



The hardware is super low cost: The PIC dsPIC30f4012 is very cheap and still has enough memory and speed (30 MIPS) to be self sufficient… Continue
