Hello,I am stating a project for installa an autopilot in a rc helicopter for an autopilot navigation system with GPS.Have someone here some experience about it?All contribution is welcome.thank you!
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
First is the autonomus hoover challenge, then full NAV...
My first goal is to construct a reliable hardware / software stabilization of the helicopter (a Caliber 5 converted to electric).
This will probably be a separate module with PIC as MCU and 3x gyro + 3x acccelerometers. I will then aim at interfacing this module to an existing autopilot (perhaps the Paparazzi) for the flight functions.
All this is just about to start, so ALL help will be MUCH appreciated!
There have been many, but it's a tough challenge. Start by exploring this list (look at Jack Crossfire's work in particular), do a lot of research, consider the commercial products already on the market, and if you do decided to make your own, prepare for at least a year of PhD-level work.

You can use a precise (+-2cm) Indoor "GPS": http://marvelmind.com/.
Here is a couple of demos:

I am also going to make this project. May be let's share experience in the coming future.
