What
Arduino based auto-flight, auto-land drone.
Why
Because it interests us.
Who
Design
going to take an arduino, or arduino like system, and have it control a model airplane. This drone will have an on board GPS for position (3D), heading, and speed. Will need the Gyro to know if we are level, or to hold a certain position in a bank or turning maneuver.
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Auto Pilot
- Maple Mini as the in craft controller?
- GPS Receiver ~$60.00
- accelerometer or Gyro (3 axis)
Plane
- HobbyKing SkyFun as the craft
- Note: make sure to get a redundant craft. I, or my s/w defect, will surely crash and destroy one...
- Servos X 3 (two control surfaces plus throttle)
