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!

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.

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.
