I am trying to develop an autopilot code in bascom for AVR Atmega16...if any one has any suggestions about how to start and the parameters that i need to keep in mind while developing the code may plz blog in with some easy snippet codes if possible...any type algorithm required are all invited... there is gonna be a code each for a FIXED WING and a QUADROCOPTER...thats the COAX heli i built for this years MAV-08 competition held in INDIA..
You should spend a bit of time researching Arduino. All of your answers are there, including about the language and compiler and IDE. There are thousands of people working on Arduino projects and sharing code in the playground.
Check it out, and once you've researched that fully, you may be able to come back and ask some more specific UAV questions, and perhaps participate in the ArduPilot project.
chris wht exact language and compilers are u gonna use for programmin the atmega..i would like to study them a bit myself....is it the arduino's editor ur talking about?..
If you're going to use an ATMega, why not follow along with our ArduPilot project, which uses the ATMega168-based Arduino processor and IDE? It uses a compiled C-like language that is much more capable than Bascom. It's all open source and free, too, with loads of PID and other autopilot-relevant code libraries and code snippets freely available. There's no need to reinvent the wheel ;-)

Thnx wayne and chris
