Hybrid

The pourpose is to advanced autopilot to extend a realitively simple flight controller. This would allow thedrone to have many new flight modes and support programming, which would enable to build interesting drone software in the future. The objective is to conect a px4 autopilot open source with a raspberry or any embedded plattforms.

Embbeded Platform

Raspberry Pi

Is a series of small single-board computers developed in the United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B features a quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex A53 clocked at 1.2 GHz. This puts the Pi 3 roughly 50% faster than the Pi 2. Compared to the Pi 2, the RAM remains the same – 1GB of LPDDR2-900 SDRAM, and the graphics capabilities, provided by the VideoCore IV GPU, are the same as they ever were. As the leaked FCC docs will tell you, the Pi 3 now includes on-board 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0. WiFi, wireless keyboards, and wireless mice now work out of the box.

Flight Controll

PX4 autopilot

Is an open-source autopilot system oriented toward inexpensive autonomous air craft. Low cost and availability enable hobbyist use in small remotely piloted aircraft. The project started in 2009 and is being further developed and used at Computer Vision and Geometry Lab of ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) and supported by the Autonomous Systems Lab and the Automatic Control Laboratory. Several vendors are currently producing PX4 autopilots and accessories.
