Will there be an option on the next version of this board (Version 4) to include a magnatometer, such as MAG3011 or a board, such as, http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/technologies/development-tools/... either as primary, secondary or option? If this was discussed earlier, I missed it.
I am trying to get my UAV Dev Board v3 going. So far I have the following:
The green LED (Stat1) goes on to indicate communication with RC tx.
The GPS is functional, verified by viewing telemetry data with SERIAL_DEBUG feature.
The red LED (Stat2) switches between off, on and blinking while changing the three way switch status. This indicates that the board is correctly switching between modes.
When in stablised mode the ailerons are functional, but the elevator doesn't do anything. When I pitch, the elevator is completely still.
Could someone please give me a hint of where I should be looking in the code? (Presumably it's something in options.h that I am missing.)
I am a new player in UAV. Currently doing a project. I have a Spektrum DX6i transmitter and the aux switch is a 2 way on-off switch. From the information on UAVDevBoard V3, a 3 way switch will be the best way to change it's mode to either manual/stabilized/autopilot. Also, i have learnt that, it can be done with a 2 way switch and trim. Since my transmitter only has a aux switch 2 way..which trim button will i be using to switch the mode? Or is there anything i need to do to configure the exact trim mode?
Please advise and any comments will be much appreciated.
I'd appreciate it if someone would explain me the above lines taken from normalRollCntrl method and specifically , why the pitch angular velocity is being multiplied by Zz (rmat8) component and how the roll velocity (omegagyro[2] ) is relevant,
Also, is there any kind of firmware explanation document published? If yes, where can I find it?
Would there be any interest in adding an angle of attack sensor and a crab angle sensor to MatrixPilot? I envision two simple wind vanes attached to potentiometers to detect the angle of the wind in the horizontal (cross wind) and vertical directions (angle of attack). Would something such as this be beneficial to the DCM, attitude, or navigation algorithm?
Thank you for the encouragement, I will uninstall MPLAB and reinstall it ( I have allready done this with the C compiler ).
Regarding the free Evaluation C compiler, my laptop would not allow me to download it? Only the full version that requires $$$ which is the one I downloaded!!
I agree that problems help to gain a better understanding of any system and I am enjoying the chase
Thanks Billu
I'm having a short break, will be back on all cylinders tomorrow.
It is something simple, I know that and I will get to the bottom of it.
One queery though, all the lights have stopped working on the UDB? is it possible that the programmer has wiped all code off the chip and they have no code?

I just bought the new UDB3 version.
Can anybody elaborate a bit on what are the steps necessary to have it communicate over RS232 and which softwares does it support?
Is some specific flag necessary during compiling?
The hardware connection doesn't bother me, it's the software that is unclear.
Hi,

The MAG3011 chip is about $2 plus shipping in quantity one from freescale.com OEM. The "fact sheet" is: http://www.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/fact_sheet/MAG3110FS.pdf and the "data sheet" is: http://cache.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/data_sheet/MAG3110.pdf...
As a SMT chip, a daughter board may be necessary.

Dear fellows,

Or is there anything i need to do to configure the exact trim mode?

First I'd like to express my appreciation for this amazing project and the impressive results.
While trying to understand the code I couldn't figure out the logic behind the divertive component of the pitch_control
pitchAccum.WW = (__builtin_mulss( rmat8 , omegagyro[0] )
- __builtin_mulss( rmat6 , omegagyro[2] ))/2 ;
I'd appreciate it if someone would explain me the above lines taken from normalRollCntrl method and specifically , why the pitch angular velocity is being multiplied by Zz (rmat8) component and how the roll velocity (omegagyro[2] ) is relevant,
Also, is there any kind of firmware explanation document published? If yes, where can I find it?
Thanks

It seems very hard to be understood. Thanks a lot.
Its a nogo on the compiler, I just cannot download it?? I have tryed 2 computers and it will not let me have the free eval version??
I sign in, click on the eval version and all that happens is it directs me to the sign in box again and again!!!!!??????
It is such a waste of precious time, is there not another compiler that will work?
Any clues?
Kind regards
Jonny
