Linux Based Quadricopter

Posted by Vito Ammirata on September 10, 2011 at 9:53am

Hi,

this is my first experience with quadricopter. I'm building a Linux-based quadricopter, using a FoxBoard (ARM9) and a ArduIMU.I'm looking for help, for now I did everything myself.I hope that my work may be of interest to someone.

Hi Vito,

I am doing a similar project with a tricopter to be controlled by a Beagleboard. We also are using the Aeroquad sensor board at the moment.

I am wondering if you have any advice for someone starting out with this.

I want to add some more information:

- Protocol mavlink

- Patched Qgroundcontrol to use the joystick in Guided mode (I also corrected the zero point of joystick)

- Ability to webcam stream (I use 802.11bg wireless adapter but is possible to use abgn adapter)

you can try the code on your linux box
