TU Delft - Search and Rescue with AR Drone 2
Team 1 Objective
We, team 1, will work with the raw navigation data, creating our own drivers to retrieve and interpret the sensor data. We will need to describe a new board configuration for Paparazzi to work with.
Creating a Flight Dynamics Model
In order to control the otherwise highly active dynamic nature of the quadrotor, an autopilot system will be necessary because the reaction time of the pilot will, otherwise, not be sufficient to maintain stable flight. The autopilot system will be created in Paparazzi for which a prerequisite is a proper flight dynamics model (FDM). To create the FDM the team will use JSBSIM, an open-source, platform-independent, flight-dynamics and control software library. Installing JSBSIM is covered for several different operating systems on the Paparazzi Wiki, Installing JSBSIM.
Paparazzi Autopilot System
There are a few steps we had to take in order to get Paparazzi to the AR.Drone2.
