"Hi there! Would it be good that you could share your Simulink diagram with me please? I'm currently working out on a quadcopter project, and it would be lovely to share some ideas with you too."

Battery voltage percentage question
Started this discussion. Last reply by Owen McAree Nov 21, 2011. 7 Replies 0 Likes
Hi guys,I've got a quick question about the battery voltage percentage shown on the HUD of the APM mission planner. My setup is to measure the total pack voltage (option 3) via the onboard ADCs (not…Continue

i am intereste in control of APM from Simulink can you help me to release the code ?
and send me attitude commands and implementing the relevant MAVLink messages ??
all what you can give me like simulink block or how to…"
Rajiv Khatri commented on Owen McAree's blog post First flight of ArduWot with Simulink in control!"Owen,
I am fairly new to the APM world, and the only experience i've had with controls is using Matlab / Simulink. I see that you have done some great work. I was wondering if your work is compatible with the APM 2.5?
Also, I've had…"

Owen McAree replied to Steve's discussion MAVLINK to MATLAB?"Hi Mike,
I am currently rewriting all of our code for this as it very much evolved beyond its initial design to the point where there were more bugs than code! I'm hoping to have something decent up and working before the end of the year which…"
Owen McAree replied to Steve's discussion MAVLINK to MATLAB?"We did this last year (well to Simulink, but MATLAB would work too), but development has stalled. We're currently reworking everything to work with MAVLink v1 and support multiple instances.
What exactly is it you're trying to do, I'm…"
Sebastián Tobar commented on Owen McAree's blog post First flight of ArduWot with Simulink in control!"Hello,
Me and a team of devs are now attempting to create a graphical interface for controlling a drone, and we want to implement the very same RC_OVERRIDE command, but the command is not working
My question is, is there any special indication for…"

Our UAV teams are working on ardupilot with Simulink interface.We want to create a new controller (fuzzy,etc.) with Simulink , so we can try it on our RC glider .Could you send us the simulink blocks which were used in your youtube…"

If possible, please share the code. It will be really helpful. Thanks.

Owen McAree commented on Owen McAree's blog post ArduWot returns to flight, Simulink in control"Hi Kamil,
I use MATLAB to create an individual plot for each frame then use Adobe Premier to make them in to a video and overlay them on the footage. I can dig out the MATLAB code for you if you like.
Cheers,
Owen"
kwijatkowski commented on Owen McAree's blog post ArduWot returns to flight, Simulink in control"Hi Owen,
I'm wondering how it is possible to show telemetry data on movie. Did you use Matlab function or any external software? I'd like to do something similar.
Regards,
Kamil"
Owen McAree commented on Brian's blog post 3.3v Power Supply Options - What's recommended?"
Here's a picture of our DC-DC converters mounted inline on a cable. Not the prettiest of solutions, but works perfectly for voltages up to 36V without generating any heat"
Jesus commented on Owen McAree's blog post First flight of ArduWot with Simulink in control!"Hello:
We are interested in use this system to test non linear controllers, but I´ve saw that you hace 0,3 second of delay, isn´t it?
Thanks
Jesús"
Owen McAree commented on Brian's blog post 3.3v Power Supply Options - What's recommended?"Yea it is as simple as you said. The very last section of the datasheet has a diagram showing the pins. The middle pin (2) is a common ground, pin 1 (the one with the dot above it) is the input voltage (5-36V) and pin 3 is the regulated output…"
Owen McAree commented on Brian's blog post 3.3v Power Supply Options - What's recommended?"I have used these switching dc-dc converters for numerous projects. They are a little more expensive than linear regulators (like the ones in your post), but they take a very wide input voltage range (5-36V) and have a high current capacity (~1A)…"
Owen McAree replied to Ken Hunter's discussion Engine Revs drop when switching from Manual to Stabilize mode in the group ArduPlane User Group"Hi Ken,
Have you set the maximum throttle setting for the autopilot to 100%? I think this defaults to 75% so if you switch on any of the augmented modes (i.e. anything but manual) you will not have full throttle authority, so full throttle will only…"

ArduWot returns to flight, Simulink in control
Posted on January 12, 2012 at 2:03am 7 Comments 0 Likes
2011 didn't end too well for the ArduWot, incorrectly fitted undercarriage made for instant nose over on throttle up which broke the prop and fried the ESC. A new ESC arrived Monday which was quickly fitted only to reveal it to be useless at powering the aircraft and APM, luckily we'd also ordered a BEC (for a different project, but ArduWot takes…
X-Plane and APM without Mission Planner

After our flight testing was halted by a blown ESC I decided to start work on Software/Hardware in Loop (SIL/HIL) testing. As I pointed out in previous posts we plan to use APM to control multiple autonomous vehicles, all cooperating to various degrees. Before we can safely test such systems outdoors, especially given our constrained operating area, we need…

Today we finally got bored of waiting for the windy weather to subside so we took ArduWot out anyway. In the couple of weeks since our last flight we've written an interface between APM and MATLAB/Simulink utilising the MAVLink protocol. For anyone not famliar with Simulink its basically a tool used by control engineers to prototype control systems in a…

Since my previous introductory post we've installed APM in ArduWot and racked up quite a bit of flight testing. In this post I'll give you guys some details on the setup of APM and the flight testing we've done so far.
I mentioned in my previous post that we'd famliarised ourselves with APM using a flying wing before…

Hi, Owen: Is your work compatible with Arduino v2.0?
- At 2:27am on January 28, 2013, Owen McAree said…
The work I reported on last year isn't compatible with the new APM modules as it doesn't support MAVLink v1.0. However I am in the process of putting together a completely new system (with increased functionality) for the new autopilots.
It is not yet fully working but you can see the project information here
