Avionics

Controller

Embedded controller: Arduino or clone, we've identified the following as interesting and already in inventory: Arduino Decemilia, Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega 2560, Maple Mini, Maple (Rev5)

Sensors

• LS20031 GPS)
• accelerometer (3 axis) also includes magnetometer
• gyro (3 axis)
• Proximity Sensor
• Barometric Pressure Sensor

Aircraft

• Bixler Looks like a good place to start. Lots of surfaces to control, plenty of room for avionics, and reasonably priced.

Alternates:

• Phoenix Glider Pretty cool name... If the avionics fit inot the cockpit I say go for it.
  • Alternate source

Some other fun aircraft:

• 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)
• Predator Fairly large. Lots of goodness?
  • review great info.
• Reaper cool.

Coms

• XBee PRO 900 XSC? or...?

Misscelaneous

• Camera?
