Autonomous flight mission with the ArduPlaneNG v2.x R5 and AIOP IMU board on Maxi Swift flying wing

Here a video of an autonomous flight with a Maxi Swift flying wing fully piloted by the firmware ArduPlaneNG v2.x R5 with an All In One Pro (AIOP) full IMU board.This is a porting of the ArduPlane v2 (v2.4+v2.5) firmware and special addons and improvements for the AIOP board that I have added.
The wind was 15 km/h gusting 22 km/h. The flight was very stable in spite of the gusty wind conditions.

Setup:

  • IMU board: All In One Pro (AIOP) v1.0 from CRIUS,
  • GPS: Crius CN-06 (Ublox NEO-6)
  • AirSpeed sensor: MPXV5004DP (from a old ardupilot one shield)
  • firmware ArduPlaneNG V2.x R5, porting of the ArduPlane v2 + special addons for the AIOP v1 IMU board by JLN

Flying Wing: Maxi Swift from MS Composite (1m40 wingspan)

  • brushless motor Spitz 30 850 kV, 360W with a propeller GWS 10x4.5
  • Lipo: 3S EVO25 2650 mAh
  • Receiver: Turnigy 9X8C v2
  • Transmitter: Turnigy 9x with Er9x firmware

@Rana - is this NEO-6M really working as stated? I don't see its antenna on the board.

Hello YureZzZ,

The Ublox CN-O6 GPS antenna is the ceramic squared piece on the top... see below:

Thanks Jean-Louis!

I think I found the cheapest way to get it:

Crius CN-06 GPS Receiver Module $26.51

CRIUS ALL IN ONE PRO v1.0 Multi-Copter Flight Control Board Support...

It is cheaper than Rana suggested, except that this AIOP board doesn't say "Support MegaPirateNG and MultiWii". Pictures are the same. So is it safe to buy?

YureZzZ, I have not tested NEO-6M GPS but It should work as it is tested by JLN.

I was following up the development at MegaPirate Next Generation, so purchased CRIUS ALL IN ONE PRO v1.0 board quite early. Since microcontroller is same (ATMEGA2560), people at MegaPirateNG are continuously porting the latest code developed by the Arducopter Team, to that board.

Hello Austin,

Here the connection diagram that I have used for the AIOP in my Maxi Swift flying wing with the ArduPlaneNG 2.x R5:

Below the connection used with my Easyglider with the AIOP and the ArduPlane v2.x (R4 or R5):

Here my Turnigy Er9x setup for the Easyglider:
