__TOC__
Lisa ( the Lost Illusions Serendipitous Autopilot) is a range of autopilots based on [http://www.st.com/mcu/inchtml-pages-stm32.html STM32] microcontrollers ( CortexM3@72Mhz ) designed to run Paparazzi.
There's no such thing as a perfect autopilot, only autopilots adapted to a particular purpose. This is the reason why the Lisa autopilots come in different styles for different uses.

== Lisa/M ==


=== Description ===


== Hardware ==
[[Lisa/M]] is a great general purpose small-footprint autopilot. There are currently two versions that have been produced. Detailed documentation can be found here:
* [[Lisa/M_v2.0|Lisa/M v2.0 (current) Documentation]]


The hardware is still in development. The current CAD files are maintained in savannah svn in the paparazzi4/trunk/hw/lisa directory.

Software development is done on a Overo/Summit + Olimex STM32-H103 dev board

[[Image:lisa_m_top_small.png|360px|Lisa/M v1.0 Top View]]


SPI1 : pin 21, 22, 23 (IMU/baro, STM is master, needs 3 slave select and 3 data ready, maybe 4 for the eeprom)
=== Usage scenarios ===


SPI2 : pin 33, 34, 35, 36 (overo, STM is slave)
There are many potential applications for the small, relatively inexpensive and flexible [[Lisa/M]]. For regular Autopilot boards a fully equip [[Lisa/M]] board is needed. For some scenarios just a basic [[Lisa/M]] without an [[Inertial_Measurement_Units|IMU]] and barometric pressure sensor is needed, which reduces the board cost. Here are some ideas (not all have yet to be implemented):


I2C1 : pin 58, 59 ( motorcontroller )
* As a basic Autopilot
** To use the [[Lisa/M]] as an autopilot, you need to attach a GPS receiver. A nice [[GPS#u-Blox_LEA_Series_Receivers|uBlox LEA-5H]] or newer will perform great.
* As an advanced Autopilot
** Additional sensors for measuring airspeed, current, etc. would enhance a fixed-wing airframe.
* As a servo extender
** Sometimes being able to control seven actuators is just not enough. Large airframes may require flaps or an airbrake and automatic landing facilities. Maybe special ACL/Nav lights, or four cameras with zoom. By using a coupled second basic [[Lisa/M]] and connecting this to the master Autopilot board we can extend the amount of servos. Large airframes can also benefit from remote and/or redundant servo drivers.
* As a Safety Pilot Device
** To provide an extra safety level required in some UAS challenges. A second [[Lisa]] board can make it easy to adhere to the rules for such a challenge.
* As a Data Logger
** Maybe you have a need only to log all kinds of data, like temperature, volts, amps, height, airspeed, and not control the aircraft. For this we can setup a [[Lisa/M]] board. Collecting this data can be to a storage medium like on a micro SD card. Sometimes there is no need for real-time data collection through telemetry but just for storing a huge dataset.
* As a Camera controller
** On some models that do not require many servos (for example - flying wing with only 3 channels used), spare channels can be used for camera control. In addition, it could be used as an independent pan-tilt unit (PTU) controller.
* As a Airframe Tracker
** Tracking an airframe for an antenna or camera on a tripod is one of the many optional uses for a [[Lisa/M]] Board.

Lia is a lower-cost variant of Lisa/M 2.0. The microcontroller, basic layout, servo outputs, and mounting holes are the same. Major differences:

** PCB size increased slightly to (58x34mm) to accommodate throughholes
* CAN transceiver removed on initial units; populated on later units (see [http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Lia documentation])
* barometer removed
* I2C level shifter removed
* 5V voltage regulator removed
* Added provisions for multiple BEC input balancing on servo connectors

=== Pressure sensors ===
 
The board will be equipped with a pair of pressure sensors, one absolute to measure altitude and one differential to measure airspeed.
 
==== Absolute Pressure ====
The proposed absolute pressure sensor is the freescale [http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPXx6115&fsrch=1 MPXh6115]
The following plot displays the output of the sensor versus altitude
 
[[Image:absolute_pressure.png]]
 
==== Differential Pressure ====
 
The proposed differential sensor is the [http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPXx5004&fsrch=1 MPXV5004DP]
 
[[Image:differential_pressure.png]]
 
Because of high resolution requirements in the pressure sensor circuit there is an external ADC needed with the following features:
* 16bit resolution minimum, 20bit would be awesome
* Two channels (multiplexed or not) each at least 100Hz sampling rate
* I2C or SPI interface (I2C preferred)
** We used the [http://www.maxim-ic.com/quick_view2.cfm/qv_pk/4950 MAX11040] as ADC for a meteo payload, some (SPI) code is there. It samples 4 channels simultaneously in 24 bits (less "in real"). Slowest conversion speed is 250.1 samples/second.
 
== Software ==
 
=== STM32 drivers for paparazzi ===
 
UART : done without DMA, so got datalink, telemetry and RC24 working
 
I2C : not done, needed for motor controllers
 
SPI : not done, needed for IMU ( big works as we share with mag and baro) and for overo
 
CAN : not don, needed for motor controller and CSC
 
PPMin: not done, needed for analog radio control and windvane
 
PPMout: not done, needed for servos ( 3 servos ? )
 
=== STM32 toolchain ===
 
You can use the [http://github.com/esden/summon-arm-toolchain summon-arm-toolchain] script to build the required toolchain.
For the default values of the Paparazzi Makefile to work, you should set
 
<code>
PREFIX=/opt/stm32/toolchain/arm-elf
</code>
and
<code>
LIBSTM32_EN=1
</code>
 
=== Open Embedded ===
 
Open Embedded is the linux distribution used on the overo.
You can follow the [http://www.gumstix.net/Setup-and-Programming/view/Overo-Setup-and-Programming/Setting-up-a-build-environment/111.html instructions] on gumstix's website to build a complete cross development environment. Paparazzi's Makefile will default to look for it in /overo-oe

* 6mil traces/spacings for signals
* 12mil traces/spacings for power traces (this is min value, otherwise as wide as possible or even planes if possible)
