Return to UAS

Embedded controller: Arduino or clone.

The following as interesting and already in inventory: Arduino Decemilia, Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega 2560, Maple Mini, Maple (Rev5).

Sensor Type	Nominal Power	Voltage Req	Temp Ranges (C)
GPS Module (LS20031)	29.000 mA	3.0 - 4.2 V
Compass & Accelerometer (LSM303DLH)	00.830 mA	2.5 - 3.3 V
Barometer (MPL115A1)	00.010 mA	2.4 - 5.5 V
3-Axis Gyro (L3G4200D)	06.100 mA	2.4 - 3.6 V	-40 to +85
Sonar Range Finder (MB1000)	02.000 mA	2.5 - 5.5 V
Total	37.940 mA	3.0 - 3.3 V

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:

Radian Pro -- (YouTube) (Note the Radian Pro has AIL, FLAP, ELV, & RUD the Radian standard has only ELV & RUD only)
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) available as kit or RR (Note the Easy Glider Pro, also...)

These are interesting alternatives:

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
