The Explorer is a rotorcraft.
It is used to test

  • control loops such as PID and INDI
  • simultaneous datalinks such as Xbee and Wifibroadcast
  • vision algorithm

The aircraft fly an Apogee or a Tawaki autopilot board.

A on board Raspberry Pi compagnon board is connected to the autopilot to provide additional communication and processing task.
A on ground Raspberry PI board is connected to the ground station to provide additional communication task.

The RPI Zero and RPI 3B cand used in this aircraft as they provided at least one UART and one USB

Additional equipements connected to the autopilot board are :

  • Dshot 4in1 ESC board
  • GPS (D-GPS)
  • Xbee
  • Leds
  • Radio control
  • Servo

Additional equipements connected to the compagnon board are :

  • Camera
  • External wifi
