Hi Everyone.It's been a while since I built my old tilt rotor tricopter in school.I want to show off recent project I've been working on for the last 6 months. The goal was to simplify the task of programming robotics. To showcase this I built a 12…

"Hi Ned,

The downfall of fuzzy logic is you can't mathematically find parameters from a system model like you can with linear processes and PID control loops. That said with fuzzy logic it is more intuitive. eg:
flying too low and still going down…"

"I have a few Q's regarding using a faster loop rate.  Don't the servos and ESC PWM only run at speeds from 20-50 Hz?  If that is the case I wouldn't really be controlling the craft faster, just doing more calculations to get a better estimation of…"

"I've written my own flight 3d simulator from first principles in C# that works quite will and have mainly used that to built up my initial algorithms. I then do some tuning with the craft tethered.  As you can see, I need to spend a more time…"
