Hi,

I'm developing as you, a Quadcopter with de UDB4.

The XbeePro you can only connect via the TX2 and RX2 ports. You can changes de configuration about speed or add DMA for the UART as I have done.

The GPS is suposed to use the UART1 port, but it depends on the conection of your GPS and if this GPS is already supported or you have to write and specific library for it.

Ask any question, or send me a message if you have other questions.

Oscar.

Most of the UavDevBoard documentation can be found here: code.google.com/p/gentlenav/wiki/Home?tm=6

If you have any other questions, I'd recommend asking them on the uavdevboard mailing list. You'll find that the people there are very helpful! You can find the uavdevboard group over here: groups.google.com/group/uavdevboard


Edit:
Also, please note that there is no real quadcopter support for the UDB project just yet. Bill Premerlani is working on quadcopter support, but that code is still pretty basic and still in the early stages of development. I the archives of the uavdevboard google group you can find a discussion concerning the state of the quad code.

Hope this helps!

HI,

I am also interested by having the quad code running on UDB4.

I still have the old green UDB1 .  but i think the gyro are not good enough regarding the vibration issue.

I am waiting from the UDB4 to come from the UK. I still didn't look at the code but it can surely be ported on the UDB4.  

Is the DCM performing well on hovering without the velocity direction vector from the GPS.

I suppose this has been compensated by the use of the compass on board of the UDB4

Thanks Sandra Bee
