Autonomous flight mission with the ArduPlaneNG v2.x R5 and AIOP IMU board on Maxi Swift flying wing

Posted by Jean-Louis Naudin on August 15, 2012 at 9:37am

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

    Спасибо вам большое!   Thanks for help! Working!!!

    Today arrived my HK AIO board. I soldered the problematic voltage regulator's leg, and upgraded with Arduplaneng software, and I think working correctly, but I have settings problem (I'm using on a smaller flying wing): If I leave in manual mode, the elevons working similar than original controller-less state, but if I switch to stabilized mode, the elevon's travel is increased (over the mechanical endpoints). I tried decreased the all PID parameters, but the status doesn't change. I calibrated the radio properly. What is the problem, what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks for help!

    Grateful thanks Sir!

    I'm sorry for many question, but I'm totally beginner in Arduino. If I load in controller Sir Alex's ArduPlaneNG2xR5 file, can I disable unwanted sensors (like pitot tube sensor) in Mission Planner or need rewrite code and compile again? Thanx for help!

    Adilson the one from earlier on the 1Nov page 6 here. Cheers

    Thanx Gagarien! I will try, if the panel will arrive!

    Any one got the gimbal function to work with Arduplaneng? I'm having issues but will investigate. I had compass issues and airspeed fluctuations and since  Aleksey Kharlanov bug fix seems to be sorted. I have the Mediatek GPS and airspeed sensor, Istvan its working very well without AS sensor tested. Thanks.

    Thanks for help!

    Dear Jean-Louis! Thanks for development. I'd like build a smaller flying wing with AIO Pro controller and certainly ArdupilotNG firmware, minimOSD and NEO6M GPD module. Can I use these without pitot tube sensor, or neccesary the correct working.

    Thanks for help!

    People say cn06 GPS module need this config line in ARM_Config.h :

    #define GPS_PROTOCOL GPS_PROTOCOL_UBLOX

    Port speed is 38400.
