"Hi Mohamed, I am right now working on code reorganization.
This step should allow to implement any part of the system (data acquisition, data fusion, filtering, control, flight logic) as a separate process in your favorite programming language.…"
"Thanks Tridge and Randy! In the last 6 Months I was completing my Ph.D project, thus there was not much time for PenguPilot (I wasn't very active on github, too). I'll try to spend more time on it in future... :-)"
Last weekend our team from Robotik AG Ilmenau won the RobotChallenge AirRace in Vienna, sharing the winner's podium with team "Sirin" from russia.Both teams could complete 24 rounds in 10 minutes!Our UAV is based on the Exynos 4 Quadrotor using 2…
"odroid has limited io interfaces.. as an example, the u3 has bit-banged i2c :( recently with rev 0.5 there is an additional spi interface, which could be interesting.."
"Hi Simon, thanks for the great tutorial!
I think there is one mistake in the last matrix on this page: http://home.wlu.edu/~levys/kalman_tutorial/kalman_11.html
Shouldn't the uppermost, rightmost entry be "0.5 * timestep ^ 2" instead of 0?…"
"OMG, this is close to a "Black Hornet PD-100"-class MAV for everyone! I have the bad feeling that this project is either planned as a scam, or these people really have no idea what they are doing. In both cases I'm feeling sorry for all the…"
"Hi folks, we came to similar conclusions for PenguPilot: PREEMPT_RT does not have any advantage over PREEMPT... in the end it's more important to set up the priorities/scheduling policy in good correct way. Then you can start to compile your Linux…"
"Besides safety, scalability is another issue here: If you add more drones, it is likely that your radio link gets saturated; and you would need to care about real-time capable medium access strategies."
"Hi Jeroen, I've tested the code finally - looks good! However, I have to adjust the Euler angle outputs as follows to get comparable results:
pitch *= -1.0; yaw *= -1.0; if (roll < 0) roll += M_PI; else roll -= M_PI;
Cheers,
Tobias"
