This would open up a lot of uses for the APM not thought of yet. I am interested in rocketry of course but I see lots of usefulness here to diversify the code.
@Andy
we use the APM to monitor the sheep head movement. Like that, we can understood how the animal is eating. The idea (verified) is that the way is eating give us the quality of the grass. And we can decide to move or not the animal group. Precision agriculture too !
lot of km....
@Steve
Should be good for anything running linux! Should be good to get everyone writing code that wants to learn. Myself included! Would be really good if it can be made to work USB. Getting people writing code on a linux laptop and running SITL. This could be really great for Ardupilot in general?
@Curt Thanks for sharing this link.
Nice Idea, defo going to try this build soon.
excuse to buy a maybe ODROID-XU4.
Would you think this, would be hard
work into your design?
@Andy: Yes, up to the integrator. I have run with a beaglebone (or any linux computer) connected to the APM2 (running my sensor-head firmware variant) via the USB cable and it works great. I've also stacked them and communicated with a beaglebone (or gumstix) uart through a ttl level translator. It's pretty flexible and really up to the integrator's preferences. The goal of my beaglebone cape is to reduce the number of external wires contributing to the rats nest, but only requiring 0.1" through-hole header connectors so someone (like me) with pretty basic soldering skills can put one together in a few minutes.
If anyone wants to play, I'd suggest starting with the APM2, downloading the custom firmware linked to earlier int his thread and getting that part running first.
andy,
waiting for the pi zero is crazy ...
i hope you make some progress with the f4 target :-)
@Max That is certainly different. Do you have more details? Is the sheep happy about it?
@Lucas. I'll look into it. It would be fun to get this working. With the emphasis on simplicity.
I had better make some progress with current projects first though.
@Curt Does The APM communicate with the Beaglebone via the USB port?
That would be quite a simple solution. There might be no need for a pcb
,just a USB cable. Then, with a pack of the APM connectors, it might even be a solder free solution.
@Robert There is always the Raspberry Pi Zero.. if you can get one :)
I think you should do PR to main repo for ArduSheep
very nice. the only drawback is the size of the combo. it just doesn't fit in my favourite glider.
Hi Andy,
I think this is neat. Would love to get it supported as a Linux board.
