So once I'm done doing #flighttest #data #reduction and #analysis I'm tackling the development of having these two @atmelcorporation #atmega328 talking to each other over I2C bus network. #coding #code #uav4africa via Instagram http://ift.tt/2gY9dG1

We're in lesson 5/100 before inverted flights. Decided to up ante and do min 10 min of flying for every session. Three packs of battery should give me 12min of flight. #uav4africa #drone #rcheli via Instagram http://ift.tt/2eEwDDJ

So decided to upload my coding scripts and share it with the world. I'm not officially in the #opensource business. One actually gets to realize that the only to harness an idea, is to throw it out in the open. #uav4africa #coding #movingup http://ift.tt/2f1HHqB via Instagram http://ift.tt/2equZ8k

So I finally found an enclosure for my automated sprinkling system. It uses a photocell for day/night switch. I'm planning to add two potentiometers to control duration and repetition without flashing new code. A master switch that restarts the program will also help. Will post some videos on how it works. EDIT: Managed to add the master switch on the microcontroller. Given than the solenoid in Normally-Closed, the master switch prevents the current to drawn by the solenoid. #coding #atmega328 #uav4africa via Instagram http://ift.tt/2f1G7or

So I've bumped into the idea last night of using the I2C bus protocol to connect multiple #atmega328 chips to emulate the airframe/environment kinematics and the GPS NMEA messaging in order to complete HILS system. This then means I would be able to be able to perform synchronous serial communication at specified rates as per the real hardware in testing the autopilot controllers and waypoint navigation. #uav4africa via Instagram http://ift.tt/2ek78T9

Completed the debugging of the 6dof simulation in the longitudinal plane. Used #mvs and #matlab Mex functionality through process attachment. Now activating the lateral and directional dynamics to in the loop. Using a ballistic flight as a test case. #uav4africa #drone #coding via Instagram http://ift.tt/2esU01g
