I have a Parallax Board of Education. I was wondering whether I could use this for my first UAV. All I would be doing is having the plane fly in a circle formation. Would this work?
Some nasty code: http://tertsi.com/UAV4.BS2
It parses GPS input (Native mode I think), and puts some info to LCD, and tries to turn servo (some problem)
Yeah, I also made some research work with BS2 + Parallax GPS,
its possibe to get heading to specific coordinate, how to turn etc. with integer math.
Memory gets full very fast. I had no PWM Rx input, I was about to do mechanical turnig equipment with FS8 stabilizator, but luckily I frustrated until now ;-)
I have also some BS2 code somewhere.
My first autopilot was a Basic Stamp one. What a mistake! No floating point, tiny memory, etc. You can see it and get the code here, but suffice to say it never flew. There is absolutely no good reason to use Basic Stamps anymore, now that Arduino is so cheap and so much better.
