endrew commented on deadfalkon's blog post Building an Android based autopilot"Hi,How do you upload the arduino code to the Phonedrone board? Do you use the onboard USB port and an android phone? Is there an arduino version for android? Is it possible to use a PC to program the board? Thanks!

Scott Bott commented on deadfalkon's blog post Building an Android based autopilot"deadfalkon, I am a DeVry student in Arizona and I have a team that wants to create an application similar to the desktop GUI for the autopliot. We feel this would have better control for the user and can be used on any Android tablet or smart…"

deadfalkon commented on Sam Kelly's blog post New product! The 3DR Radio Telemetry System"So this is a ftdi cable? I can't see any chips, is the ftdi logik hidden in the usb connector? How can I verify its a ftdi and not something passive?
Thx, Falko"
deadfalkon commented on Sam Kelly's blog post New product! The 3DR Radio Telemetry System"I received my Radio (433 variant) today here in Germany and it looks like I need to connect the usb directly to the board.

David Rosendahl commented on deadfalkon's blog post Building an Android based autopilot"Other advantages by using a phone is that its easy to obtain/replace (and upgrade), is built in large quantities and so on. I agree that it has a lot of drawbacks, but I love the experiment :). "
Ellison Chan commented on deadfalkon's blog post Building an Android based autopilot"Well, like I said, not trying to discourage anyone from experimenting, and would love to see someone actually achieving it. Just trying to point out some possible constraints. Although I got to say, I personally would find my android…"

"Compared to an 8bit AVR, the average cpu(s) in a Android system is just so much faster and has so much more helping hardware that they should offsets any schedule timing errors and comparatively have better "real time" performance then the…"
johnm545 commented on deadfalkon's blog post Building an Android based autopilot"Real time or not, this works. Here are some tips. You will probably need to root your phone and set the CPU to a constant speed to get anything running off the android handler working smoothly. Otherwise it will throttle right down to one or two…"
Ellison Chan commented on deadfalkon's blog post Building an Android based autopilot"Well, my concern ii with using the phone as the sole IMU. The fact is that a multirotor is impossible to "fly" without some kind of automatic stabilization. I think it may be beyond even and fighter pilot's capability.…"
deadfalkon commented on deadfalkon's blog post Building an Android based autopilot"Ellison "cruise missile with no guidance system" is a little over the top don´t you think ;-) We´re talking about a foam plane and with the "Wireless Buddy Box System" as an external switch that can take away the…"

Building an Android based autopilot
Posted on May 13, 2012 at 5:00am 18 Comments 1 Like
I bought a PhoneDrone board a couple of months ago, hoping to use the board in order to build some sort of autopilot or plane stabilization in conjunction with any standard Android phone that supports Android 2.3.5+.
My idea is to use the sensors in the phone to…
