About Me:

I'm Aerospace Ph.D candidate working on Fault Detection and Diagnosis(FDD), Fault-Tolerant Flight Control(FTFC)of UAVs, Kalman filters, etc.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I am in this hobby since 1992. Always I tried to link my hobby to my accademic goals and up to now it was very successful. I fly 3D helis (various types of Align T-rex and Hirobo choppers), quadrotors, planes, gliders. Also I love FPVing around beautiful nature of Canada. My goal is to contribute to this worl for a better life.

"Dear Silvio

Is there any driver to be installed for UBLOX LEA-6? I have pluged my LEA-6 to my APM 2.5, but it shows no signal.
there is a very tiny red LED on the back. Should I change the back up battery or add some driver?

Thanks for help"

"Hi

The thing you are talking about is called (Gain-shceduled) GS-PID and there are some papers available in the network for your reference. I have used this idea for fault-tolerant control of quadrotor.

Hi every one.I'm planning to purchase an arduplane pre-made autopilot,Just I was wondering if I it's possible to apply different linear/nonlinear control techniques (PID, LQR, LPV,..) in the open source code?I appreciate any kind of help.
