Gluonpilot

A new child is born!

From now on, the hardware module will be known as GluonPilot.
A project has been created on google code. Until now, the first release only contains libraries and examples. I’m in the progress of re-writing portions of the current autopilot firmware to make sure it’s more modular, more easy to understand… so basically just better!

A forum will should be up and running shortly. If you’d have any ideas/remarks: please let me know!

  1. Nice project Tom. I have one for rc gliders that uses some techno you are using (c# net, pic,...). It’s just a telemetry system for glider race. No autonomous flight for the moment but it could be a plus to be able to save a glider going made after any radio issue or else. Good work.

  2. Hi, Tom nice code and very good board .

    I tryed some of your code. And I noticed something Bill Premerlani put in his code to simplify the interrupt on IC4.

    you do that :
    if (last_raw_in < raw_in) in = raw_in – last_raw_in;

    else in = 0xFFFF – last_raw_in + raw_in;

    But if you delare raw_in as a signed int.

    you avoid the timer overflow problem.

    and the code become just:
    in = raw_in – last_raw_in;

    I didn’t belied it first but it works.

  3. Ohloh connects to Subversion, Git, CVS, Mercurial and Bazaar source control servers to discover the contributors and the history of their activities.
    The module

    * 6DOF IMU (3 gyros and 3 accelerometers) * 16-bit pressure sensor for height * Can control 6 servos (PWM outputs) * RC-transmitter input through PPM or PWM (4 channels) * A push button, for more ease of use. * 2 LEDs * 4MB flash for datalogging and configuration * 256kB flash for code * works with EB-85 GPS and other (4-pin) GPS modules * connects to your PC using the standard FTDI USB data cable * SPI, I2C, UART headers available for communication with other devices
