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

Hi
I d'like to use the Attopilot 50V/90A with the CRIUS AIOP Board. I just couldn't figure out which input I have to use so it reads out the corrent Voltage and Amp's. I guess it must be connected to the A1 and A2 analog input's?
Where in the arduino code can I change or see those input's ?
I hope you guys can help.
Thanks
Progress:
Telemetry connected to the xbee pins 2& 3 and 10 (GND) plus power from i2c
Extend power headers done and working OK
Extend board and GPS working OK.. even from a window i get 4 satellites!
Radio RX and the air senson next ...
Also I am using a Futaba 8FG what would be:
TX_set2 or TX_standard on Config.h?
Worst case i will try this weekend with the transmitter as the weather in London will be awful...

Hi,
I am in the process of putting together a similar setup but adding 3DR Telemetry, an updated MPXV7002DP speed sensor and using the AIOP Extend Board for GPS.
My assumptions and questions are as follows:
a) Power needs to be supplied by the extend power in pins with a separate UBEC to provide clean 5V/3A
b) Im using a Futaba tx (T8FG) so PPM should go to A8
c) the Airspeed sensor uses the A0 serial and can draw power from the I2C 5v/GND or should I use the clean power from the UBEC?
d) The Esc (+5v) should still go as per picture so as to power the servos or
this is not necessary as the extend power is in place? If this is the case, would the 5v/GND next to A8 would provide power to the receiver?
e) Is the proposed position of the IMU correct?
f) I know that using the FTDI port is not such a good idea but i am planning to use the Xbee adapter pins to connect the 3DR Telemetry in the future to allow the Bluetooth interface.
ArduPlaneNG2xR5 == libraries/ from MegaPirateNG + ArduPlane/ from ArduPlane-2.4 + changes from JLN.
I've created a branch in MegaPirateNG repository against version that was used to create ArduPlaneNG2xR5. I then added ArduPlane/ directory from JLN's .zip.
MegaPirateNG seems to be a good place to maintain ArduPlaneNG, and, hopefully, eventually update it to current ArduPlane versions.
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!
For reference, this is the compass fix: http://code.google.com/p/megapirateng/source/detail?r=257 . I also confirmed that compass now works properly (and calibrates from MissionPlanner) with this fix.
I maintain ArduPlaneNG as part of MegaPirateNG repository in "arduplane/" branch. Currently it is same code as ArduPlaneNG2xR5, but with compass and elevon configuration fixes (see Changes section in the repository).
Adilson the one from earlier on the 1Nov page 6 here. Cheers
Thanx Gagarien! I will try, if the panel will arrive!
