Here a video of an autonomous flight with a Maxi Swift flying wing fully piloted by the firmware ArduPlaneNG v2.x R5 with an All In One Pro (AIOP) full IMU board.This is a porting of the ArduPlane v2 (v2.4+v2.5) firmware and special addons and improvements for the AIOP board that I have added.
The wind was 15 km/h gusting 22 km/h. The flight was very stable in spite of the gusty wind conditions.
Setup:
- IMU board: All In One Pro (AIOP) v1.0 from CRIUS,
- GPS: Crius CN-06 (Ublox NEO-6)
- AirSpeed sensor: MPXV5004DP (from a old ardupilot one shield)
- firmware ArduPlaneNG V2.x R5, porting of the ArduPlane v2 + special addons for the AIOP v1 IMU board by JLN
Flying Wing: Maxi Swift from MS Composite (1m40 wingspan)
- brushless motor Spitz 30 850 kV, 360W with a propeller GWS 10x4.5
- Lipo: 3S EVO25 2650 mAh
- Receiver: Turnigy 9X8C v2
- Transmitter: Turnigy 9x with Er9x firmware

YureZzZ, I have not tested NEO-6M GPS but It should work as it is tested by JLN.
I was following up the development at MegaPirate Next Generation, so purchased CRIUS ALL IN ONE PRO v1.0 board quite early. Since microcontroller is same (ATMEGA2560), people at MegaPirateNG are continuously porting the latest code developed by the Arducopter Team, to that board.
Thanks Jean-Louis!
I think I found the cheapest way to get it:
Crius CN-06 GPS Receiver Module $26.51
CRIUS ALL IN ONE PRO v1.0 Multi-Copter Flight Control Board Support...
It is cheaper than Rana suggested, except that this AIOP board doesn't say "Support MegaPirateNG and MultiWii". Pictures are the same. So is it safe to buy?
Hello YureZzZ,
The Ublox CN-O6 GPS antenna is the ceramic squared piece on the top... see below:
@Rana - is this NEO-6M really working as stated? I don't see its antenna on the board.
Jean-Louis, vous faites un travail brilliant. Beaucoup awesome.
Very very nice JLN !
You have done really a great job for the benefit of the entire community here, you know why......
APM2.5 + uBlox GPS from DIY Drones store is costing 250US$ and "All In One Pro (AIOP) v1.0 from CRIUS" + uBlox GPS is costing only 110US$, huge difference :-()
Here a video of Closed Loop Flight PLan mission at low altitude (30 m AGL) with the Maxi Swift flying wing piloted by the ArduPlaneNG v2x R5 and the All In One Pro (AIOP)
JLN, that's really great !, Since "All In One Pro (AIOP) v1.0 from CRIUS" has MPU6050, are you able to use MPU6050 full digital motion sensing capabilities of this great chip or you have confined yourself up the preliminary code in APM library for MPU6000 ?
You seems to have been quite inspired by http://code.google.com/p/megapirateng/wiki/portmanual
Beau boulot !! Bravo !!
Tx Jean Louis. Did you possibly have achance to compare, on the same plane, using APM/arduplane and AIOP/arduplane, in terms of stability or general behavior? Maybe it's all driven by the arduplane code so possibly the exact same behavior?
I like your thermo stuff too!
