Return to UAS
Avionics
Controller
Embedded controller: Arduino or clone.
The following as interesting and already in inventory: Arduino Decemilia, Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega 2560, Maple Mini, Maple (Rev5).
Sensors
- This is the initial sensor package:
- LS20031 GPS
- Accelerometer (3 axis) also includes magnetometer
- Gyro (3 axis)
- Proximity Sensor
- Barometric Pressure/Temperature Sensor (We might need greater accuracy.)
- still looking for a good altimeter, a replacement for DTED lookup
Aircraft
Airframe
The initial airframe must forgive mediocre piloting. We want docile flight characteristics combined with a rugged air frame.
Try to select a craft with spares to reduce cost of reconstruction.
These are our top candidates:
- Phoenix Glider Pretty cool name... If the avionics fit into the cockpit I say go for it. (Note that we can add flaps!)
- Alternate source
- Bixler Looks like a good place to start. Lots of surfaces to control, plenty of room for avionics, and reasonably priced.
- Multiplex Cularis (2.6m)
- Radian Pro -- (YouTube)
These are interesting alternatives:
- HobbyKing SkyFun Flying wing. Minimal surfaces.
- Predator Fairly large. Lots of goodness?
- review great info.
- Reaper cool.
- Van's RV-9 too cool, experimental!
- 3m wingspan big and light
- 4m wing span huge, does not look like 12 ft
Surface Control
- Servos X 4
- want light ones, but strong enough to control the surfaces, might need to get the craft before we order/change the servos
Coms
- XBee PRO 900 XSC? or...?
