its always good to have the uav with relevant Lat/Long Alt displayed in real time. Just don't use dials with speed, altitude etc. all it does is clutter up the window space just display them as a window e.g. UAV Status. Also have a large warning window.

When status of items change to something not good, make them go red.

Standard aviation units

Speech

Flight planning tools that bring both a weather forecast and satellite coverage prediction.

Handheld, standalone

Miles: That is planned.
Gary: Good idea about the red, I will add bounds. What do you mean by speech? speech recognition? Ile look into that, but it may be out of my capability (I personally would not trust the flight to speech interpretation). Stand-alone is difficult due to map data size, but I want to work on one based around a beagleboard, and a portable hard drive to provide some cache.

Looks brilliant. I look forward to testing it :)

For the Mega chip maybe allow for altering the course?

Comment by Ravi Gaddipati on April 27, 2010 at 2:37pm

@What mega chip? Either way, that is already integrated into the line builder. The initial course is sent to the UAV, and subsequent changes can be sent by removing and inserting (as long as it did no pass that point) new points.

Mega = Ardu mega , soon to be released in Diydrones stores, the new autopilot will have two way telemetry and will allow in flight updates of waypoints etc.

I am currently focused on making it compatible with my custom platform, but if someone could provide wireless link information, it could be integrated.

Long way to go , the ardu protocol is available ( look at ardu station code or ardu pilot code) or look at UDB which supports ardu_serial out on serial interface for telemetry.

Keep. It. Simple. Lots of "features" seems cool, until you've got a sick bird and can't find that specific sub-sub menu.
