Michael King replied to Michael King's discussion Starting a new project. Is this the correct autopilot for the job?"The project is to create a 200' tall police officer. UAV hovers over the agents head and moves where he moves. Add a camera and the officer can look out in the direction he is moving and turn his head to look around. "

I am starting a new project. This is a single fan design using vanes for control. is the Ardupilot mega the right choice for an autopilot?

Michael King commented on Harald Molle's blog post ardupilot goes into the water Part 11"Another thing we added to the steering routine was cross track error. When the craft reaches it's waypoint, it calculates the bearing to the next waypoint. That bearing is stored and referenced as the craft is traveling.
Say for arguments sake…"
Michael King commented on Harald Molle's blog post ardupilot goes into the water Part 11"If you really want to have stable steering, you need to have at least one gyro for yaw. Break the steering PID down into 2 sections - Turn Rate and heading. Your heading error PID will dictate how much turn rate to use all the way to a set maximum.…"
Michael King replied to noman's discussion anteena tracking"That is what we did. We used Trig and a trajectory prediction to control the antenna. the antenna was moved 15 times a second even though we were only getting position updates once per second."

For those of you interested, I have created a site for the project I have been working on for the last year. I have decided to make the whole thing Open Source so this can be shared and developed with a bunch of IQs and not just my limited one! LOL
Anyway i hope you join in for the discussions and the ultimate goal of sailing this thing around the world autonomously.

Interesting video on the Border Hawk. Were you using a MicroPilot autopilot in that UAV? Also what kind of response did you get from the FAA?
