Flight Control Board + GCS + GoogleEarth

Posted by Ho-Chung Chang on August 24, 2010 at 8:00am
This week, I have used LabVIEW to develop the UAV monitor, and shown the map via google earth.
Initial design was embed the google earth in LabVIEW program. but I am not alway to watch the map.
It just be switched that I want show map.


The testing plane is Cessna.
During the testing, the proportional gain need be modified via airspeed for fitting the wide airspeed. I had alos added small integral gain for neutral point and feedback derivative gain from gyro sensor to increase system damping. Until now, the plane filght well.


I hope can use this FCU on this plane ASAP .... Orz

    Hello!
    I'm starting a drone project with full telemetry in a notebook.

    The Aircraft Instruments ActiveX component isn't available anymore, because GMS has been sold to AVEVA and they seem not to have interest in sell this component anymore.

    Please, you still have this ActiveX component? If so, can you make available for me to download it? I don't mind the registration screen or the fact it tsn't updated anymore.

    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry, I had lost the LV program. I have converted to C++ based GCS....Orz

    "To all:
    No problem sharing the code. It is just for debug flight testing. (There is another guy to charge GCS program...XD)
    LV code nothing special. It just receive the command datas that I define. and google LV subVI has been found from NI forum.
    The file is put here.

    I also used GMS ActiveX Aircraft Instruments Component to show the flight status.

    Hi,I like the style of your Ground Station.

    But the link above is invalid .Can you give me a new adress?

    The engineer of Aeroland have told me the 60min@3700mAh Battery condication been from field testing with cruising speed over 1500 feet. and it is hard keep 60min at low flight altitude.

    I am not airframe engineer, so I cann't tell you the glide ratio, sorry about it.

    Super GSC, can you poste the code for the load?
    Thank you

    Yes, nice screen presentation. Only comment I would like to make is that the big yellow box with 'Aeroland UAV Inc.' could be much smaller to leave more room for the things that are important.

    Very nice GCS screen presentation. Good work. Will you be sharing the LV code for your GCS? Thanks

    Hi, what glide ratio do you expect to achieve from such pylon plane?
    http://www.aeroland-uav.com/productsAL4.html
    60min, 70% total propulsion eff, lipo 4S 3700mAh
    would require glide ratio around 18, 60min and no reserve...
