"Hi SLUGS Team, congratulations. I have been looking at Simulink implementations and the c library provided in your GitHub repository. I also read your dissertation but I still find some details missing. Aren't you thinking about…"

SLUGS Team commented on Tj Bordelon's blog post Finally, my autopilot is "finished"...."Congrats Tj,
Very impressive. I am really interested in the radio modem part. Will that appear in the CC article also? Do you have plans on making the schematic/layout and source code available?"

SciFly commented on SLUGS Team's blog post SLUGS AP: Fully Flight Tested and Open Source"Great Job, the board looks great. Great news about the IMU temp compensation, but the 500 dollar price on Digikey is steep. Is there support for customizable setups on the IMU?"
wayne garris commented on SLUGS Team's blog post SLUGS AP: Fully Flight Tested and Open Source"$500 on digikey ouch !!"
SLUGS Team commented on SLUGS Team's blog post SLUGS AP: Fully Flight Tested and Open Source"Thanks Wayne. It is much better. On version 1 of SLUGS we were analog gyros, accels and mags. Drift and noise was pretty bad, and the set-reset circuitry of the mags was a royal pain. On this new setup where we have the AD temperature compensated…"
wayne garris commented on SLUGS Team's blog post SLUGS AP: Fully Flight Tested and Open Source"wow looks much improved over the last version ! It looks like you are useing ADs all in one IMU ? read a lot about it when it was being developed . how do you like it and what do you think are the advantages over a more traditional multi-chip imu…"

Waypoint tracking is one of the most sought-out features in an autopilot. Essentially it allows the end-user to program (generally via a map or an aerial picture) a path (composed of waypoints) that the UAV is commanded to track. When we started working on SLUGS it was clear that this would be the first… Continue SLUGS Autopilot. Soon to become Open Source.

The Santa Cruz Low-cost UAV GNC System (SLUGS) is a high-end UAV Autopilot that is currently under development by the Autonomous Systems Lab at the University of California Santa Cruz. Although not ready for prime time, the project's website shows some significant progress towards a fully functional platform.The SLUGS autopilot is heavily geared towards research in small to medium sized UAVs.… Continue

Sergio O. said… - Hi!!, right now i’m working on my own imu prototype, but i have some questions about obtaining anlges from the accelerometer, just because in rest “with no movement” i get the angles with the accelerometer, but when i mount this on the airplane de pitch that is the x axis of the accelerometer and is pointing to the nose is changing how could i solve this. i want angles in movement but not accelerations, y have gyros to but when i correct the drift of the gyros with se acc signal the angle takes the value of the acc and is a mess
thks!!!!
