Dear Friends,

we doing fly test of HexaCoax developed by Daniele A. based on MP32+ VRIMU. The video is the first flight test . We need to finisht the work on PID.

Ciao a tutti,
ieri abbiamo collaudato e fatto volare l'hexa coax di Daniele, una bella realizzazione in aluminio . Il video e' del primo volo e Daniele stava prenderndo familiarita' con il mezzo.
Di solito pilota riproduzioni aeree , ma si e' trovato subito a suoi agio con il suo nuvo drone , bisogna ancora lavorare sui PID , specialmente sullo YAW ancora un po' molle.

This is the configuration of HexaCoax.

I componenti sono :


Firmware : Arducopter32 NG
Scheda CPU : Multipilot32
Scheda IMU : VRIMU
Regolatori Motorius 30 A
Motori Motorius 2217

The source code , lib and ide snapshot is available here :

Lo snapshot del codice utilizzato e' questo : http://code.google.com/p/multipilot32/downloads/detail?name=vrobotix-ide-0.0.4%20mixer%20hexacoax.rar&can=2&q=#makechanges

Dear Friends,

in last month we working on Multipilot32 platform , we develop library and porting ArdupiratesNG and Ardcuopter 2.0 firmware on this Arm Platform. It's compatible with standard Diydrones accessories ; Oilpan , Magnetometer Sonar and GPS.

But we're working on improve our Board this is the result of our work :

Mukltipilot32 "Build your Dreams" BYD support some upgrade the main is that can use two micro controller :

Stm32F103 72 Mhz 512 K flas 64 K ram or new revision of this micro STM32F205 , this is the first board available on the market that support this powerfull micro 120 Mhz 1 mega of flash and 128 kbyte ram.

You can reserve your sample and join us to port library and ACopter firmware on it. In the next week will be available a limit serie of board with 32F205 , for more info about this micro this is the link :

http://www.st.com/internet/mcu/product/245093.jsp

For more info contact me at : lasernav@gmail.com

 

On the board there is a new micro but also a secret pod :)

 

3689414811?profile=original

We change the position of SD card and now it use SDIO bus not SPI , more powerfull with dma and parallel bus.

 

3689414903?profile=original

On the board there are some pad with Label DON'T TOUCH , with this pad is possible to setup for STM32F103 or STM32F205 micro controller.

This video is the result of my last test :

In the test i'm using :

n my development i'm using :

Multipliot 32 : http://www.virtualrobotix.com/page/multipilot32-1

VRIMU : http://www.virtualrobotix.com/page/vr-imu-10

VRI2C ESC: http://www.virtualrobotix.com/page/vr-bl-controller-10

 

The firmware is ArdupiratesNG 32 that i had implemented with some new libs and functionality :

The video is in italian but is simple to understand my test :

So i going in position manually , setup gps hold .

Take the quad and going far in other position ... then see the quad came back to original position.

After same test a leave the radio far from me :)

What do you think of my result. My impression is that the code is very good .

I'm using i2c esc and i see the fly is smooth and correction ,too respect of standard esc.

The Armfox V4 is my experimental platform for develop Flycam .

In my development i'm using :

Multipliot 32 : http://www.virtualrobotix.com/page/multipilot32-1

VRIMU : http://www.virtualrobotix.com/page/vr-imu-10

VRI2C ESC: http://www.virtualrobotix.com/page/vr-bl-controller-10

The firmware is ArdupiratesNG 32 that i had implemented with some new libs and functionality :

I add the support to 1 wire PPMSUM radio as Jeti to have on 1 wire until 12 channel that could be usefull for fly cam application .

I add the support to i2c esc so the refresh rate of esc is 2.5 khz instead of 550 hz available on standard esc.

On VRIMU is available a professional sensor ADXRS 610 gyro for high precision and high immunity to vibration. the full scale of sensor is 300 °/S and the resolution is 12 bit.

With this kind of configuration is available a lot of 16 bit pwm output for manage high quality sensor for gimbal managment.

In this video you can see the first flight doing with Virtual Robotix IMU , in the test i only check the sensor board , Gyro and Accelerometer , in the next test i check navy and input output functionality.

 

Today was a windy day , after solve with Randy a problem on the YAW control .. i doing the preflight check , all seem to work fine and so decide to going in the sky.

 

I'm using the same PID used with oilpan , there're not significant difference ... In the next day i try to use 300 °/s gyro ADXL 610 to check the difference respect of Inversense.

I think that the new board will be available in the next week for the people that are interest to evaluate it .

3689405450?profile=original

3689405292?profile=original

3689405477?profile=originalThis board is an upgrade of original Oilpan board , it's compatibile at 80 % with the original dirver , my idea was to improve it and put my experience on gps and uav on it. I add some feature as subsystem power control , gps battery backup , improve temperature compensation on gyro , add gyro that i used on MP8 the same of mikrokopter.

In these days i doing small upgrade to adc driver and to the code .. i think that tomorrow i can doing a first flight for test it , On Artificial horizon yet is ok .. i need to upgrade the driver of compass .. and right projection.

My idea is to have only one board put on MP32 or APM without , cable to or header to connect the device togheter .. if you need can disconnect the sensor imu and put it where you want and can connect it by cable to navy board.

Do you like VR IMU ? This is tech info :

 

Preliminary VR IMU 1.0 (Dominate the Sky) Technical specification:

 

Imu Sensor :

  • 1 Gyro Z : Inversense ISZ500 500 °/s resolution 1 axis.
  • 1 Gyro XY : Inversense IDG500 500 °/s resolution 2 axis.
  • 3 Gyro ADXL 610 300°/s resolution same used on Mikrokopter (option).
  • 1 ACC ADXL 335 3G resolution.
  • 1 Magnetometer 3 Axis HMC5883 compass functionality.
  • 1 ADC 12 BIT ADS7844 8 channel. 2 channel used for temp compensation.
  • 1 FET for ON / OFF subsystems.
  • Possible to disconnect the Imu sensor and connect to Navi by a cable.

Multipilot32 April 11 Monthly Update

Dear Friends,
in last month we're some great news from FoxTeam and Virtualrobotix community.
We are doing our first Gps hold , Altitude hold test.


http://www.virtualrobotix.com/profiles/blogs/armfox-v4-gps-and-altitude

Some user start to fly with his quad based on Multipilot32 with Ready to Fly firmware and hardware setup
With standard Oilpan IMU :

http://www.virtualrobotix.com/video/armfox-v4-rtf-altitude-and-gps?xg_source=activity
or with Custom analog sensor and neet so solve some iusse on his frame during fly broke a motor  :( ...


http://www.virtualrobotix.com/video/outdoor-test-with-mp32?xg_source=activity
or with retrofit gaui ...


http://www.virtualrobotix.com/video/multigaui-1
Now we're working on the sonar , altitude hold and start to work on ACM 2.0 library and firmware ...

I'm very happy of this first result ... some news for other people on our team ?

 

In the next week we will present the new Imu and MP32 RTF.

 

Thanks for your support

Updated Video

Dear Friends,

after my last fly in stable mode i update the i2c libs for compass and barometer , now is better of older versions so i can upgrade main core loop to 800 hz instead of standard 200 hz .

Above the resutls of my first automatic flight , i'm very happy of this first result .. i start to use the performances of our Multipilo32 Arm Cortex M3 processors.

More Performances = More stability.

The firmware will be available tomorrow on our repo.

check Official link for more info : http://www.virtualrobotix.com/profiles/blogs/armfox-v4-gps-and-altitude

the next step will be to test sonar and start to work on ACM ...

Dear Friends,

this is the video of first flight of Multipilot32 that use ArdupiratesNg32 rev. 2.01 firmware.

I ported to Multipilot the 8bit firmware , change all the library necessary to firmware and doing some small patch on original firmware.

At the moment i fly in stable mode + configuration with this PID (3.00 , 0.150 , 0.900)

As sensor i use Oilpan , in the firmware i don't yet activate GPS , BARO and Magnetometer , i doing some test but before to fly i need to optimize the i2c code and deactivate the debug functionality that degrade the speed of execution of code.

Some suggestions ? Do you like this test ?

This is the official thread of pre flight check of ArdupiratesNG32 v 2.01

http://www.virtualrobotix.com/forum/topics/armfoxv4-ng-32-and

info about the board : http://www.virtualrobotix.com/page/multipilot32-1

In the next day I update this section of discussion with some new tips and tricks

Dear Friends,

today i upload last revision of ArducopterNG32 , I upload the code after my fly test doing tomorrow.

This is the video.

With this revision of code is possible to fly in acro e stable mode.

Today i'm doing my first outdoor test of ArmFox V4 firmware in basic configuration , I'm happy of the result , the quad is flying fine and seems reliable, even if a revision is alpha code.

In this test i use standard component , don't professional part.

MP32 and Oilpan work fine togheter.

I use 4 Chineese standard 18 A PWM ESC buy on Giancod store at 6$

Standard Motor 900 kv

10 inch propeller.

Standard 6 channel analog reciver on 35 Mhz.

So this is an entry level configuration.

Yesterday I spoke with Diego L. that are using only analog gyro and accelerometer connected directly to MP32 , That sensor normally is used on Aeroquad , but is the same that mount Oilpan , the only difference is that is connected by spi adc to MP32 instead on Diego configuration It is directly connected to analog input.

The MP32 analog input is better of avr analog because are at 12 bit . We notice that the configuration of analog is the same of oilpan. The resolution is the same.

The video , is only a raw fly with some test for check relability.

I need to setup the PID on gyro , today during flying there was much raffic of wind .

 

This is the link to the code. http://code.google.com/p/multipilot32/downloads/detail?name=ArmFox_V4_NG%2809-04-11%29-alpa2.rar&can=2&q=#makechanges

 

This is the tutorial for pre flight check : http://www.virtualrobotix.com/forum/topics/armfoxv4-ng-32-and

You can use all your standard Diydrones accessories with MP32 for assemble your drone.

MultipilotP32 ( http://www.virtualrobotix.com/page/multipilot32-1 ) is available in the stock if you need more information send a mail to

virtualrobotix@gmail.com

 

MP32 is next revision of CPU for Arducopter project based on 32 Bit arm microprocessor with 72 mhz of clock and a lot of innovative hardware feature as 2 i2c one for sensor , can bus , 512 kbyte flash and 64 kbyte ram. 12 bit analog input for more info visit discussion forum on www.virtualrobotix.com

Next step is testing advanced functionality on air : Gps hold ,altitude hold ecc

 

Some suggestions about my PID these is the standard available on Arducopter NG

P 4.0

I 0.150

D 1.20

 

I change also Stick_to_angle factor conversion for have more command available.

What do you think about ? In the next test i would put our VR ESC that use i2c bus and have 256 step of resolution this esc only 127 :( That's could be a problem for good fly ... :)

Dear Friends,

I'm happy to inform you that i have upload the VRIDE 0.0.3 Alpha Revision.

Inside this early version of our ide i put some example about the opportunity to use on MP32 a lot of Analog and digital sensor.

In this thread is possible to discuss about the experience on sensor , driver implementation , code example , performances ecc.

 

In the VRIDE 0.0.3

Actually 07-03-11 is available the support to :

HMC5843 : I2c Magnetometer.

BMP085 : I2c Barometer.

Mediatek GPS prtocol NMEA e MTK16 : High performances GPS 10 HZ

SPI ADC Converter connect to 3 axis Analog Gyro and 3 axis Analog Accelerometer.

Standard MP32 ADC converter : High Resolution 12 bit ADC Converter.

I'm working on driver of sonar and IR Sensor and on WMP+ and NK Gyro and Accelerometer Wii sensor.

 

About this task support from community is welcome.

 

This evening we are online at 22:30 CET to discuss about the news about MP32  , New Ide/library available  and New Firmware. We're working on ArduPiratesNG32 ,too :)

Dear Friends,

Holger the Creator of Mikrokopter have setup a new benchmark . We need to work hard to improve our project :)

Great Job Holger , if you have an Multipilot1.0 or MK FC 2.0-1  with navi you can check these new features.

http://www.virtualrobotix.com/page/multipilot-8-v10

He use on his fly control a 8 bit micro 644p the same of MP10 , the main difference is that he use only native code write in 'C' not use any kind of arduino wrapper ... so the code is very efficient .

The original Navy is based on a str91x the old version developed in 2006  of STM32 micro so with Multipilot 32 we have more power and possibility to break the barrier of 100 mhz in the next near future.

So now with MP32 we have more power available than in Mikrokopter platform , the code from str91x is portable because we can use the same operating systems and tools , but not source code available for Mk Navy so we need to reinvent the code , better , more original and powerfull i hope :)

Check this docs : http://developers.stf12.net/just-another-eclipse-demo-str91x.

All the member of Arducopter team will be recived in the next days the MP32 , so we're ready to start :)

Hello Guys,
I am here for the latest update, I would say that many were waiting ... We are finally back to fly .. it starts from where I stopped with QuadFox V3, but now with much more power 'you can use to fly our beautiful quad.
What I posted and 'the first official flight after the failure of Sunday's pre-flight test due to malfunction of the GyroZ OilPan, promptly replaced by Jordi , thank you Chris and Jordi for your support ,Diydrones of which' was timely in sending, sent from the United States Sunday arrived today mounted and here is the first flight. Only preliminary tests. I used the firmware version published Sunday .I put new IMU and flies as I suggested no major problems except the ones I had already' seen in pre-flight test, but going to be solved improve some operations, particularly the libraries that I rewrote the management of the radio, the problem I have is' above them.
The test that I did use Arducopter NG 32, Multipilot32 as CPU, OilPan as IMU, ESC Chinese engines from 6 € robby recovered from my old mk, rx Graupner 12 ppm scan analog output sum .. 3S 20c Lipo Battery
I also remember that for those interested in doing another online seminar tomorrow on the product roadmap of Multipilot32. I predict that the stable version for standard users will be 'available within a month of work today. The actual and the 'pre alpha version only for Developer and Hard coder who know what they do when they hold a pre-review software.
