We're waiting APM , but we're trying the Arduimu Quad III on our HW platform and improve it with some update .
This is the first video of stable mode doing by FoxTeam member Riccardo F.

In this version of software we have this kind of configuration :
Two multiboard :
1 Magnetometer
1 GPS
1 Sonar
1 Barometer (not yet used).
4 IR-Sensor (not yet used).

1) Multiboard need for stability on it there are the our version of Arduimu Quad III ( pre alpha Arducopter firmware). On this board is connected acc , gyro , Sonar ,magnetometer , Barometer and 2° Multiboard.
2) Multiboard / Ardumega have GPS , Rx Radio , IR-Sensor : the software that we intend to mount is an a revision of ardupilot rewritten for Multicopter.

In this code is supported :
- Mixertable , in the video configuration is used a X4 , but I'm testing also X6 Radial.
- I2c Bl-CTR
- Rx-Radio that use a serial protocol . In future application will be possible use directly Xbeepro to recive from pc o iphone the fly command .. :)
- Rewrite a code for YAW control.

In this video is possible to see the first release of JavaGS (Ground Station)

ricky and redfox74 branch.

This is our update :

  • Well, safety line uses one of the most advanced and sensitive controller ever build ... a man :) Unfortunately it's tricky to have something that don't interfere with copter dynamics and no time to develop it.
    Any idea? i think safety, for people and copter itself, is very important developing a project like this.
  • Very cool ! How do you keep tension on that safety line? I was trying to think of a system to do that. Does it catch if the craft drops too fast? How is the safety catch triggered?
