i have not yet ordered a gps :)and the code does not compile - and prob. never has been tested. the variable/class AP_GPS_NONE does not exist.it is sligthly different - in the ArduPilotMega you have…Continue

this comms in handy to model my new control loop.
thanks for sharing."

all arm platforms will have these ports and much more. but not more cpu power.

robert bouwens commented on Jean-Louis Naudin's blog post APMrover v2, a fun UGV project for full autonomous reco missions..."there is no need to have full apmX support.
a gps is the only device needed.
if the rover is not stable, then mems devices will also be of no help :)
a balancing robot will be something different because of the requirements.
but the path…"

but my sw is not ready.
have to move everything towards a cortex m3 device.

robert bouwens replied to Dara Shayda's discussion NN Software: FANNTool in the group ArduCopter Evolution Team"the fanntool is the reason to buy a beaglebone.
i am thinking of having a more powerfull cpu as assistant to the regular flightcontroller.
will try to organize one of these boards.

robert bouwens replied to Jean-Louis Naudin's discussion Beta Tests Flights in the field... in the group ArduCopter Evolution Team"hi jean-louis,
i am not a fan of what is happening with the control laws on acm.
try to set the stab_d term to zero.
finally i hope to fly this weekend.

robert bouwens replied to Dara Shayda's discussion NN Software: FANNTool in the group ArduCopter Evolution Team":-)
would that run on a beaglebone?
what do you think about cpu performance needed?

interesting picture showing the path of the thermal hunter.
it is still way to cold outside ...

robert bouwens commented on Jean-Louis Naudin's blog post Full autonomous slope soaring with the ThermoPilot v5.2"hi jean-louis,
the trick will be how to follow the thermal lift and the banking angle trimm.
this will be the challenge:-)

Sebastian Madgwick's Quaternion solution - Episode II
Posted on September 19, 2011 at 11:00am 7 Comments 1 Like
I made nice progress - but not after having some bad experience.
As you may know I decided recently to replace DCM with the solution from Seb.
During my holidays in holland i got a terrible cold but i could work a little bit.
Not in terms of a total new framework but experience what to do and…

i have been struggling with gyro drift and up to now no real solution exists.
it effects the pirates and the newer arducopter2 code base because both build upon the same dcm implementation.
i played around with the pirate code base and could improve the situation a little bit.
and after a few trials i decided to replace the current dcm implementation by the quaternion solution from sebastian madgwick.

But of course it's a matter of continual refinement.

- hmm,
let's start at the begin.
the protocoll should be able to tell what firmware is installed.
from that result you can show the options available for the installed firmware.
the current look and feel is that from a geek - somewhere in the corner and as small as possible.
i would prefer a tabcontrol with pages added dynamically ...
my view - but showing all possibilities is for a beginner not what i would suggest.
the basic ideas are well done - need to organized in a matter which makes sense...
