"It's hard to put a good quality ADC on the same chip as a high performance processor. I doubt you will find anything at performance level of the Gumstix's OMAP processor that has anything better than a 10 bit ADC. An external ADC is…"

"Ive looked at the Gumstix Overo for an autonomous submarine, but it seems to be limited by its input pins only recieve a 10 bit resolution, which to me means i only have a 1 m resolution which is not quite good enough.   There wouldnt be a to…"

"http://mbed.org/ might have a nice product for this with 6 Analog ins and 6 PWM outputs it might just have enough IO for a more powerful core AP module. http://mbed.org/projects/cookbook has some sample projects the code looks similar enough to…"

"At Netburner we do things a bit differently than the freescale references.... We map the entire chip register set into a large structure 'sim' for easy access.... So the following code won't map directly to the freescale coldfire chip…"

"cheers, I think what I'm really tried to find is some examples of how to use it. I had hoped to find some example for ADC, PWM and I2C on the net but there doesn't seem to be a lot around for the Coldfire but maybe I'm just not…"

James Turner replied to Jacob Dickinson's discussion Gumstix Autopilot?
"Have you got any ADC libraries for the Netburnerby any chance ? I eventually bought A dnp/5280 which is also coldfire based but I dnd't get the starter kit so no examples :("

EasyStar Project

Posted on August 11, 2008 at 4:00pm 4 Comments

I’m not going to be able to work on this project for awhile, so I thought I would post about it, partially so that I don’t forget the details myself : )



For those of you who don’t know, I’m currently working on a UAV based on a Multiplex EasyStar and an Arduino Diecimila. My main goal currently is to simply get it to fly from waypoint to waypoint, but in the distant future my goal is to extent flight time as long as possible. I’ve been working on the project for the past couple… Continue
