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

I found an interesting problem: when I try power my board from battery (same connecting as Jean Louis), only 3rd or 4th attempt can lock the GPS, the green LED don't start flashing (the GPS is u-blox NEO6M module from HK, and it's red flashing, when found sats, and it's working). My board is HK AIO PRO with fixed voltage regulator problem, firmware is currently ArduPlaneNG from JLN, I tried SirAlex software with similar result. Can help anyone, what is the problem? My perception is, if I powered from USB, always start flash the green LED, and GPS locking.
Thanks for help, and sorry for bad english...
Well I launch always in the "MANUAL" mode, so I have full control on my plane when it's slow speed. The autopilot supports "TAKE OFF" and "LANDING" but i don't know how that actually affects the flight controls.
After you have all your PID's and settings correct for your plane and it flies well under "STABILIZE" and "FBW", I guess you may try out the other Modes. I'm looking forward to your results on that ;-)
Oh, I'm sorry...
My plane's AUW approxx 850g, and motor push nearly 1400 g, thus I catch the plane's leading edge in my left hand, and push max throttle, and release...
Thank you very much!
A question about fixing IMU on my epp flying wing: need elastic (like peel 'n stick foam tape) or enough a velcro. What do you recomend? Thanks!
Спасибо вам большое! Thanks for help! Working!!!
There are advanced parameters for adjusting servo travel. Look for RCx_MIN, RCx_MAX and RCx_TRIM parameters.
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!
