C'est un ballet aérien d'une élégance à rendre jaloux.
Merci de partager ces images.
Bravo

Je continue en français. Bravo pour ça. Un vol 100% autonome, c'est vraiment quelque chose de remarquable.
Sinon, comme tu es très productif sur plein de projets, je me demandais dans quel cadre tu réalises tout ça: c'est de la recherche universitaire? C'est financé par un moyen ou un autre?

Hello to all, ( merci à vous tous pour vos commentaires, je réponds en englais, car c'est la langue courante dans ce forum )... Thanks you very much for your comments. At this moment, I am conducting these researches and experiments on UAVs only as a hobby because this is truly fascinating. Very often I offer my help to high scholl students and researchers to push forwards their UAV projects. FYI, in a recent professionnal past, I have also been a UAV designer and a UAV test pilot as job but not actually...
Regards, Jean-Louis

Hello Jean-Louis, thank you to divide your solid experiment.
On.TrIMUpter, how you manage the automatic landing?
Which software did you take to return points GPS for your course?
Cordially
DODY

Hello, Dody. In this test I have used my firmware v2.3 which is the main v2.1 that I have released. I have just added some 3D nav points and modified some PID values. In the new version, I have planed to add an additional Arduido board or a simple Ardupilot board (to get more memory) linked to the ArduIMU. In this case, the Arduido/Ardupilot board will act as a navigation controller and the ArduIMU will be used as the flight controller.
The Arduino/ArduPilot memory mapping will be fully compatible with the previous mission planner that I have used with my Cularis UAV ( see here for more info about this )

So, this will be a very low cost setup...
Regards, Jean-Louis

Hello Jean-Louis, you can poster some photographs of your last version to see the material establishment and the diagram of connection.
Thank you
DODY

Hello Dody, for the 1st autonomous TrIMUpter flight under control by the GPS, I done any change in the hadware setup (it is clearly showed at the beginning of the video from this blog). This is the same hadware setup that I have used with my firmware TriStab v2.1, see below:

I have only improved my firmware and conducted a fine tuning of the PIDs...
Regards, Jean-Louis

I know this is two years old, but I'm trying to do this with the ArduIMU V3.  I got it to give correct attitude, but it will only arm one ESC.  When I move the IMU, that motor reacts but I dont understand why the other ESC's wont arm.  Here's the debug out for the radio.  I had to change MIN_THROTTLE to 850.  Why does it only arm one ESC?
