Thanks Bill.If I understand your architecture correctly, I'd call the "virtual quad" a command model. I assums your feedback objective will be to make the error DCM equal to the identity matrix (or, equivalently, to make I - DCM_error…

Hi Roy, You are correct on your description of the controls we have right now. For roll and pitch, we are using the roll and pitch elements of the Z row of the direction cosine matrix. However, I am presently in the process of changing that, to use…

Thanks, Bill & Ric.It sounds like you have attitude command in the pitch and roll axes and rate command in the yaw channel, and direct thottle with some vertical damping. Are you using direct feedback of elements of the DCM for your…

Hi Roy, I will answer your first question and leave the second one to Ric. For throttle, the control is a straight pass-through, with accelerometer stabilization of vertical motion. For roll and pitch, the control is fly-by-wire: the stick input is…

Fantastic stuff, as we've come to expect from the UDB / MatrixPilot team! I have two questions: 1) What is the control mode - attitude command? Rate command? Something else? 2) The scenery is also pretty impressive. Where was this video…

Hello Riccardo,   Great video and outstanding work on the UBD4! I was talking with Pete over a coffee the night before he was due to leave to come out to do some testing, I think I will be looking to invite him over for another now......…

Nice video!. It looks like a beautiful place to be flying. That quad looks to be a very stable and robust design. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Excellent, the UDB boards really are turning out to be the boards that can.

Hi Bill, Yes, I still have the modified board, which I believe started as a UDB2 now that I think about it.  It's still mounted on that blue foam wing plane that wasn't meant to last more than a couple weeks, under a significant…

Hi Rusty, Its good to hear from you again. By the way, MatrixPilotQuad supports all versions of the UDB, including "Rusty's board": #define RED_BOARD 1#define GREEN_BOARD 2#define UDB3_BOARD 3#define RUSTYS_BOARD 4 // Red board with…

Hey look, it's a UDB quad copter!  Good to see some of the old familiar names again.  What's really funny is that I was digging through my bag of UDB3 stuff the other day, which made me think to check SF to see if there was a new…

As my UAV3 Devboard is sitting quite happily in an Easystar on fixed wing duty, I think it's time I ordered a V4 to start playing with this! Can't wait to see the finished code! Many thanks!

Hi Ric, Thank you so much for continuing to be the top MatrixPilot test pilot, and for taking the video. Also thanks to the other MatrixPilot users who noticed the quad code, and are trying it out, especially Mark Whitehorn. So, now the "cat is…

Two planes and one pilot ?

Posted on July 12, 2011 at 12:33am 12 Comments

Hi,

 

yes, I did it : pilot two planes at the same time :p

 

 

The main plane is a FunCub equipped with UavDevBoard and on board tracking video camera.

The second plane is a stock EasyStar, carrying another UavDevBoard, only to send its position.

I took off with the FunCub and put it in autonomous mode. Me having in my…

FunCub equipped with camera tracking a moving target

Posted on June 12, 2011 at 2:49pm 3 Comments

Hi all,

 

I did a flight with Ben Levitt's code to track a moving target with a UavDevBoard.

 

Here is the video

 

Many thanks to Ben for the code and to all the core team (Bill Premerlani, Pete Hollands, Ben Levitt), for continuous support.

 

Best regards,

Ric

How to read PPM stream and PWM pulses on sound card oscilloscope

Posted on April 4, 2011 at 12:25pm 8 Comments

 

Hi,

trying to help a developer (Ben Levitt) to track down a bug on my UavDevBoard system, it was hard to explain by email the strange behavior.

After he suggested me to try with a sound card oscilloscope, I decided to try something I was planning from sometime now : a soundcard…

Ricardo, to my knowledge the 868 MHz and the 2.4 GHz XBee are the legal XBee modules for Europe.
I just began testing and I can't tell you what the actual range of my test setup is.

Ricardo, for further details on the XBee telemetry setup you can contact me via email: jarontec gmail com
