I'm a long time mod there. you're absolutely right about the code .was really only thinking of using it as a way to get something working quickly then building a much more solid base for the code. dma, rtos, interupts etc. I made an AP using a netburner mod5213 used a linear kalman filter but hated the license etc for the hardware and ide .ill have to checkout glueon and openpilot code. thanks for the tip. if you're interested I could send you one of the prototypes ill be fabricating over the next couple weeks. I specialize in design and fabrication of airframes .you can see a lot of the stuff I've done on my DIY profile<br /> <a href="http://diydrones.com/profile/waynegarris" rel="nofollow">http://diydrones.com/profile/waynegarris</a> </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=1035#post-6363 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 15:25:27 +0000 gbulmer 6363@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>I remember some previous posts about making an autopilot using STM32F103, and I think this is there work:<br /> <a href="http://www.virtualrobotix.com/page/multipilot32-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.virtualrobotix.com/page/multipilot32-1</a> </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=1035#post-6355 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 06:18:51 +0000 leafpilot 6355@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>hey, nice idea, I did something similar a while ago and I called leafpilot, it flew ok but used analog sensors and had no mag, same as old ardupilot and used gps track, planes only. Honestly, its not the right code base to start with, as I think you will spot as you progress, its ugly and you already spotted an rtos would be nice. </p> <p>I will try and help you where I can but currently playing with the movecopter stuff. Openpilot is sooo much better than anything ardupilot, light years ahead of it, very solid code and the PSX Move is only $50 with a 9DoF.</p> <p>Another project well worth looking at is gluonpilot its Pic based and there hardware is totally closed which is a negative but simple to port to the STM32. Quality code and flight tested, I have one and happy with the performance, again light years ahead of anything diydrones.</p> <p>A word of warning, if you try and do this commercially and use any code from diydrones, you will be pressured to have them sell it, if you do not play ball, your posts on their site will often not be approved and other such nonsense. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=1035#post-6354 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 05:51:16 +0000 torkroll 6354@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>when will a rtos be integrated with the maple ide ?</p> <p>regards </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=1035#post-6339 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 16:44:03 +0000 poslathian 6339@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>awesome, keep us posted! </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=1035#post-6337 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 16:07:07 +0000 torkroll 6337@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>it will be a whole new board , it will have a fail safe mux <a href="http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/show?id=705844%3ABlogPost%3A47351" rel="nofollow">http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/show?id=705844%3ABlogPost%3A47351</a><br /> like this one </p> <p>8 pwm outputs for servos<br /> I plan on integrating the sparkfun IOIO <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10748" rel="nofollow">http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10748</a><br /> and i will be adding some 12bit magnetic encoders for gimbal control<br /> i would make a shield but things can get very tight space wise and you can have a huge amount of vibration with gas engines and helis . the circuitry needs to be as solid as possible . </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=1035#post-6336 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 15:28:00 +0000 poslathian 6336@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>awesome! is this a shield, or a whole new board, or a set of libs? </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=1035#post-6334 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 15:02:22 +0000 torkroll 6334@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>maple pilot is a new auto pilot i am working on ,i have a working prototype and am working on porting the APM code from diydrones.com . here are the hardware features :<br /> ADXL345 3 axis accelerometer<br /> IMU3000 3 axis gyro<br /> BMP085 absolute pressure<br /> MP3V500 differential pressure<br /> HMC5883L 3 axis magnetometer<br /> ublox lea-5h GPS<br /> SDcard</p> <p>so far I have the DCM algorithm working and printing data to sd card</p> <p>you can get the latest code here <a href="http://code.google.com/p/maplepilot/" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/maplepilot/</a> </p>
