== General information ==

ADS-B is an addition to transponders of manned aircraft which transmits position and velocity data.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_dependent_surveillance-broadcast link Wikipedia]

The idea is to use this information to stay safe of these aircraft.

'''WARNING:''' Not all aircraft are equipped with this system, it can just be an aid in situational awareness!

It can be used in conjunction with the TCAS functionality: '''[[MultiUAV#TCAS|Paparazzi TCAS]]'''

== Receiver and integration ==

Originally ADS-B receivers are expensive.

But now there is the opportunity to use DVB USB sticks as cheap software defined radios covering the required frequency.

Here we use the following projects:

*[http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr Osmocom rtl-sdr]
*[https://github.com/antirez/dump1090 Dump1090 ADS-B decoder]

Both need to be installed as documented on their homepages.

dump1090 is then started with the --net option to open a server supplying the information on port 30033
The option --interactive nicely shows which planes are received and in your browser at http://localhost:8080/ you can see it on a map.

The integration to paparazzi is realized through a module reading the port of dump1090 and forwarding it to the IVY bus. Additionally it reads the data of the corresponding UAV through IVY to calculate a distance.

== Use ==

* To show the intruder in the GCS and have it broadcasted, build an A/C in Paparazzi Center called Intruder with the ID 99.
* Start a Paparazzi Session, probably a simulation for the start...
* Start ivy_sbs_bridge AC-ID, with AC-ID being the ID of the flying UAV for distance calculations.

Code: [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1746215/ivy_sbs_bridge.c ivy_sbs_bridge Code] (To be integrated in git soon...)

Some information is provided in a small window.

The tool connects to localhost, if no dedicated SBS server and port is given after AC-ID

== Demonstration Video ==

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2ufe_4vXis ADSB to Paparazzi Video]

The standard DVB antenna was standing in the middle of the room... These receivers are really sensitive.

== Possible expansions ==

* Forward more than one intruder to the system (should be easy, if necessary)
* Output a warning if a non-ADS-B transponder is received at the UAV's altitude (many general aviation aircraft have only Mode C/S transponders)
* Additionally receive [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLARM FLARM] since this is widely used in gliders. This was already done badly coded. Drawback is, the receivers cost several hundred Euros.

<div style="float: right; width: 40%">__TOC__</div>

Lisa/M is a small, general purpose autopilot designed with flexibility across multiple applications in mind. Small weight and size, with (optional) integrated [[AspirinIMU | Aspirin IMU]] and full size 0.1" servo headers make the Lisa/M suitable for both fixed-wing and rotorcraft vehicles. This autopilot is based on the STM32 for improved peripherals and faster processing.

A number of tutorials are being prepared for getting started with Lisa/M:
* [[Lisa/M/Tutorial/FixedWing|Fixedwing tutorial]]
* [[Lisa/M/Tutorial/RotorCraft|Rotorcraft tutorial]]

For detailed hardware revision history, please [[Lisa/M#Detailed_Hardware_Revision_History | see below]].

== Features ==

Lisa/M is based on the 64 pins STM32F105RCT6 [http://www.st.com/internet/mcu/product/221023.jsp connectivity line family] processor featuring 64k of RAM and 256k of FLASH. All the pins are exposed, providing access to the complete set of the STM32 peripherals.
NOTE: This MCU is different from LISA/L. Lisa/L is based on the 64 pins STM32F103RE processor featuring 64k of RAM and 512k of FLASH, which is part of the [http://www.st.com/internet/mcu/product/164485.jsp high-density performance line family].

* STM32 microcontroller [http://www.st.com/internet/com/TECHNICAL_RESOURCES/TECHNICAL_LITERATURE/DATASHEET/CD00220364.pdf STM32F105RCT6 datasheet] with 256kB flash and 64kB RAM
* Pressure sensor [http://www.bosch-sensortec.com/content/language1/html/3477.htm BMP085]
* 7 x Analog input channels
* 3 x Generic digital in-/out-puts
* 2 x 3.3V TTL UART (5V tolerant)
* 8 x Servo PPM outputs (6 w/ second I2C bus in use)
* 1 x CAN bus
* 1 x [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface SPI] bus
* 1 x [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2c I<sup>2</sup>C] bus (2 when using only 6 Servo PPM outputs)
* 1 x Micro USB
* 4 x status LEDs with attached test point
* 10.8 grams (0.4 oz) (with Aspirin IMU mounted)
* 9.9 grams (0.35 oz) (without Aspirin IMU mounted)
* ~34mm x ~60mm x ~10mm
* 4 layers PCB design

with mounted IMU has the following additional sensors on board:

* 3 Axis Gyroscope
* 3 Axis Accelerometer
* 3 Axis Magnetometer

The pressure sensor is mounted directly on the board as this sensor is not provided by Aspirin (''v0.1 - v1.1''). Except for a GPS unit you have all necessary sensors for full attitude and altitude stabilization in an extremely small package.

'''NOTE 1''': SERVO7 and SERVO8 are directly connected to I2C1_SCL and I2C1_SDA. As such, SERVO7 and SERVO8 '''CAN NOT''' be used while I2C1 is being used.

=== Jumper Configuration ===
There are a number of jumpers on Lisa/M used to configure voltage levels and power input.

The default configuration is UART3 VCC at V_IN, UART1/2/5 VCC at +3V3, with the V_SERVO servo voltage rail NOT connected to the autopilot V_IN rail, allowing one to power the autopilot and servos separately. The +5V regulator is NOT bypassed, allowing a regulated +5V on listed headers and for the CAN transceiver and I2C level shifter. The V_BAT connector is NOT connected to V_IN, so one can attach a battery voltage to the V_BAT pin to measure the battery voltage, if so desired.

=== Powering the Board ===

[[Image:LisaM_warning_label.png|right|200px]]

The 3.3V regulator on Lisa/M is a [http://www.micrel.com/page.do?page=/product-info/products/mic5209.shtml MIC5209-3.3YM] capable of delivering up to 500mA. While it is possible to power this regulator with up to 16V, '''DO NOT''' do this. By default, the UART3 RX pin is pulled up to the input voltage V_IN. For this reason, 5V is the maximum input voltage. Note that the UART3 GPS Connector is connected to V_IN, check your GPS input voltage before connecting. If one desires to have V_IN at a higher voltage, the jumpers should be adjusted accordingly. As noted, this regulator can handle up to 16V, though experience has shown that this regulator can become very hot in operation with high input voltages, resulting in potential thermal shutdown while in flight. Depending on the expected current draw, it is best to power this regulator with a lower voltage. 5V is the perfect choice.

The onboard 5V regulator on Lisa/M is a [http://www.national.com/pf/LP/LP2992.html LP2992], a low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator capable of delivering up to 250mA. This regulator can be bypassed with JP3, connecting the autopilot V_IN bus directly to the autopilot 5V bus if, for example, one is using an external 5V regulated supply, and a higher current is needed. Unless external use of 5V is required on the ANALOG1 and ANALOG2 headers, the only 5V usage onboard is for the CAN transceiver and the I2C1 level shifter.

When measuring the supply voltage of a battery with the V_BAT pin (could be connected to V_IN through JP2), it is important to note the maximum voltage limit. The voltage divider on the board for measuring with a 3.3V ADC is --'''V_BAT'''--/\/\'''10k'''/\/\--'''V_BAT_MEAS'''--/\/\'''2k2'''/\/\--'''GND'''--. This means that the maximum allowable voltage on V_BAT is

<math>V\_BAT_{max} = 3.3V*\frac{10k}{2.2k} = 15V</math>

If a higher voltage measurement is desired, another voltage divider is required off-board. Alternatively, one could modify the existing voltage divider (e.g. change 10k resistor to 22k to get 33V maximum). When checking if voltage exceeds the maximum, make sure to consider maximum battery voltage, not nominal voltage (e.g. 4.22V or so for a single lithium cell, not 3.7V nominal, so the maximum number of cells in series is 3, like a 3S LiPo pack).

== Programming ==

If your Lisa/M has a bootloader, you can upload code via the micro-USB port.
When the bootloader is running, the status LEDs will cycle up and down.

Currently, the bootloader will not detect that USB is connected at startup.
To force the bootloader to run, bridge ADC2 and GND by making up a connector.
This won't be necessary in the future once USB detection has been added to the bootloader.

Once the bridge connector is attached, attach the Lisa/M to the PC via a micro-usb cable and it should start in bootloader mode.
Assuming your build target uses the Lisa/M board, pressing upload should now load code onto the board.

== Paparazzi USB Bootloader Upload ==

[https://github.com/paparazzi/luftboot Luftboot] is a Paparazzi-compatible bootloader for STM32-based autopilots.
Depending on your vendor, your Lisa/M may already come with a bootloader, in which case you should skip to [[Lisa/M#Programming]]
When Luftboot is correctly loaded, the status LEDs on the Lisa/M will cycle up and down.

[[File:Luftboot.gif|320px]]

=== Required components ===
*Floss-JTAG debugger
*Lisa/M
*PC

=== Procedure ===
<ol>
<li>
Checkout [https://github.com/paparazzi/luftboot Luftboot from Github]
<source lang=bash>git clone https://github.com/paparazzi/luftboot.git</source>
</li>
<li>
Change directory into the luftboot/src folder
<source lang=bash>cd ./luftboot/src</source>
</li>
<li>
Build luftboot
<source lang=bash>make clean && make</source>
If you get make: arm-none-eabi-objcopy: Command not found and have the paparazzi-multilib package installed, run <source lang=bash>export PATH=/opt/paparazzi/arm-multilib/bin/:$PATH</source>
</li>
<li>
Flash the Lisa/M
Attach the floss-jtag unit to the PC and connect it to the Lisa/M via the black connector.
Power the Lisa/M (easiest way is to connect to the PC via a micro-USB cable).
<source lang=bash>make flash DEV_SERIAL="LM2-ser"</source>
where "ser" stands for the serial number of your Lisa/M. So for example if you have lisa/m with the serial number 020 this would be:
<source lang=bash>make clean && make flash DEV_SERIAL="LM2-020"</source>
</li>
</ol>
=== Connection Diagram ===

=== Boot Sequence ===

== JTAG ==
JTAG can be used to upload firmware if no bootloader as present. It can also be used for debugging.
* [[JTAG]] description;
* General [[Dev/Debugging|debugging information]];
* [[DevGuide/JTAG-Debug|JTAG usage]], includes Eclipse uplink tutorial.

=== Quick JTAG Upload Guide ===
# Connect floss-jtag to Lisa via the cortex cable (little black socket)
# Attach the UART port on the bottom of the floss-jtag to UART2 on the Lisa.
# Plug in USB port of the floss jtag
# Plug in USB port of the Lisa
# Make sure your airframe uses the <target name="ap" board="lisa_m_2.0"> definition
# Click Build, wait until complete, then click Upload. You should see the following towards the end:
{{{

# Run Flight USB-serial at the baud rate you need (default 57600 for rotorcraft)
# You may need to change the device to /dev/ttyUSB1, and 'Redo' the Data Link

== Serial Firmware Upload ==
Firmware upload using the factory integrated bootloader can be useful e.g. if you have overwritten Luftboot accidentally and don´t have access to JTAG.

Due to hardware constraints, the board has to be modified to make use of the bootloader, which is only accessible on UART1:
# Diode D3 has to be removed (the bigger black brick next to the USB connector). Attention, no more powering via USB after that.
# BOOT1 has to be set to GND by connecting ACC_DRDY(unused) to GND at the Aspirin pads

Now a boot sequence works as follows:
#BOOT1 has to be set to 3.3V by use of a jumper cable
#Connect a 3,3V serial cable (FTDI, MAX232...) to UART1, the TX pin is USB_VBUS
#Power the board and activate the bootloader program

The according bootloader script can be found at :
[https://github.com/jsnyder/stm32loader stm32loader from Github]
<source lang=bash>git clone https://github.com/jsnyder/stm32loader.git</source>

To reload Luftboot, upload luftboot.bin

Serial upload can also be used directly from paparazzi Center by adapting the right path in [https://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi/blob/dev/conf/Makefile.stm32 Makefile.stm32] for the LOADER argument and setting

<define name="FLASH_MODE" value="SERIAL"/>

in the target section of the airframe configuration.

== Detailed Hardware Revision History ==

=== Changes Between v1.1 and v2.0 ===
* Lot's of silkscreen improvements
* Added attributes to all parts to make the usage of bom-ex ulp possible.
* Improved routing to allow teardropping
* Fixed stm32f1, f2 and f4 compatibility circuit. (has to jump to ground not to 3v3)
* Connected existing UART RX pullups to the respective connector power pins instead of 3v3. To prevent connecting 5V over IO pin to the 3v3 power rail.
* Added pullups on all UART RX lines to prevent undesired floatation.
* LED's are connected to 3v3 now. To make sure we don't have an issue with voltage tolerance on the gpio pins.
* ...

=== Changes Between v1.0 and v1.1 ===
* Removed pull-ups on the USB gpio
* Removed pull-ups on the CAN gpio
* Connected usb_vbus to pa9 (needed by the USBotg)
* Removed USB pullup transistor as usbotg has a built in pullup
* Swapped UART1 with UART3 (uart1 was used for gps and pa9 was it's tx line, to be able to talk to the gps unit uart3 is a better choice, as uart1 only has an rx line now it is a better choice for spektrum RX modules)
* Removed USART3 TX gpio from the GPIO connector and moved to the GPS connector
* Added voltage selector jumpers to the RC RX connector; to enable powering of 3v3 or an 5v receivers
* Replaced vertical board solution with through hole servo pin headers (easier assembly)
* Servo connectors are in groups of two; for easier assembly
* Servo VBUS is connected together on all four layers; for lower resistance
* Moved LED's from under the analog2 connector; to be able to populate LED's and the connector
* Moved the RC RX connector a bit; to prevent crashing with the jtag plug
* Added one additional servo connector; now we have all 8 accessible through the standard servo connectors
* Fixed servo channel labeling to start at '''S0''' as it is the case on TWOG and Tiny autopilot boards
* Added secondary through hole picoblade USB connector for easier routing of USB inside an airframe
* ...

=== Changes Between v0.1 and v1.0 ===
* Switched to stm32f105 to be able to use usb and can at the same time
* Added alternative use of the adc lines as led output
* ...

=== Hardware Change Requests ===
* REQ: Replace BMP085 with MS5611 (the MS5611 seems to be better in performance then the BMP but it is more expensive and seems to be more difficult to obtain.
** A: This upgrade will be available through Aspirin v2.0 --[[User:Esden|Esden]] 22:54, 5 January 2012 (CET)

* REQ: Replace 7 Pin CAN with molex with something less risky to be inserted in 7 Pin SPI in relation to powering the board via CAN molex.

* REQ: Separate spot for external power if powered via separate battery. Realizing we can via Servo ports by Bridge J1 but still like to measure board voltage then and have a way to add power without mistakenly inject CAN Molex into SPI.

Adler Uni Stuttgart

2010-02-19T17:08:01Z

Marc:

The "Adler" is a project of the [http://www.irs.uni-stuttgart.de Institute of space systems (IRS)] at [http://www.uni-stuttgart.de/index.en.html University of Stuttgart].
{|
|[[Image:Irslogo.png| 100px]]
|
|[[Image:Unilogo.jpg| 400px]]
|
|}

== Background ==
The reason for the IRS to develop and use UAV´s (which is not a "natural" thing for a space institute) derived from the fact that high quality and high resolution data of small spots or areas is required for certain tasks in remote sensing. The use of manned aircraft is not efficient for these tasks and too expensive for an institute to perform on a regular basis.

== Missions ==
At the moment there are two missions performed with the airplanes
*'''BRDF-measurement''': A special [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidirectional_reflectance_distribution_function BRDF] is a property of every surface in nature. The influence can for example be seen when images are stitched together for systems like Google Earth. At the borders visible contrast changes are noticable. The correction of these effects uses models which are developed using measured data. Most of these measurements where performed on the ground. When using airborne data, the influence of the atmosphere can be studied. The measurement should start in spring 2010.
*'''Precision farming''': Using airborne data for agricultural applications could reduce the amount of fertilizer and pesticide needed for crop fields. In cooperation with a scientific farm we want to show that data of UAV´s can be used for these applications. Several flights with different instruments have already be conducted for this mission.

== Airplanes ==
The airplanes were designed by students doing their thesis at the institute. They are specially constructed for their mission requirements.

=== Adler 1 ===
[[Image:Adler_flight.jpg|thumb|250px|The 'Adler' in the air]]
The ''Adler'' is designed for stable and enduring flight. The size was needed for the required payload capacity and flight time. <br>
It is built of styrofoam, wood and reinforcements.

*Basic data
**Wingspan: 4.33m
**Length: 2.66m
**Max. takeoff weight: 25kg
**Payload capacity: 7kg
**Engines: 2x PolyTec C42-62
**Batteries: 2x 10s2p 8000mAh
**Duration: 30+ minutes

=== Adler 2 ===
[[Image:Adler2_a.jpg|thumb|250px|The 'Adler2']]
The only difference to the first plane is a new fuselage with better aerodynamic shape. It is built of GRP in molds.

=== Trainer ===
As not many RC pilots fly planes the size of the ''Adler'' we wanted to have a plane for basic pilot training and for component testing. The goal of the design was to reproduce the flight characteristics of the bigger planes.

*'''Basic data'''
**Wingspan: 3m
**Length: 2.1m
**Max. takeoff weight: 14kg
**Payload capacity: 4kg
**Engines: PolyTec C42-62
**Batteries: 10s2p 8000mAh
**Duration: 30+ minutes

{|
|[[Image:Adler_c.jpg|thumb|250px|The Crew after flight]]
|[[Image:Adler_Trainer2.jpg|thumb|250px|'Adler1' and 'Trainer']]
|
|}

==Payload==
*'''Visual range cameras''': Images are taken with three industrial black and white cameras equipped with special front end filters. This is necessary because normal colour cameras use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayer_filter Bayer filter] for colour separation which are not usable for quantitative remote sensing. The channels used are green, red and near infrared (NIR). Especially the NIR is important for deriving biological parameters like the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NDVI NDVI].
{|
|[[Image:Cameras_in.jpg|thumb|250px|The cameras and spectrometer sensor]]
|[[Image:Adler_mosaic.jpg|thumb|200px|Mosaic of more than 200 images]]
|[[Image:Adler_CIR.jpg|thumb|250px|Colour infrared (CIR) image of a field]]
|}
*'''Spectrometer''': The three spectral channels of the cameras are supplemented by a 128 channel spectrometer with a range from 500 to 1000nm. The beam of the instrument is inserted to the view of one camera by a mirror system. A custom design electronic board controls the spectrometer when triggered by Paparazzi saves the data on a SD-Card.
{|
|[[Image:Spectrometer.jpg|thumb|250px|The spectrometer with camera, mirror assembly and electronics ]]
|[[Image:Filter2.jpg|thumb|250px|The spectral transmission of the filters ]]
|}

*'''Thermal imager''': When investiganting Water balance or right use of irrigation, the thermal imager is used. It can also detect animals for counting or fires. The resolution is quite low because of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_camera#Uncooled_infrared_detectors sensors] used. As the camera needs a windows PC to operate, we took apart an EEE-PC and control it by the Paparazzi system...
{|
|[[Image:Adler_EEEPC.jpg|thumb|150px|The EEE-PC installed in EPP-foam]]
|[[Image:Adler_thermal.jpg|thumb|250px|Thermal image of the flying field]]
|}

== Using Paparazzi ==
The first intention was to control the ''Adler'' manually and help the pilot with GPS and variometer. After some flights it turned out to bee very hard to fly the straight lines needed for image acquisition with the pilot in the loop. <br>
The search for an autopilot system led to paparazzi after investigating the possible commercial and free options. At that time only small airplanes had been flown with Paparazzi so we were not sure if it would work.<br>
After getting used to the system by flying an 'EasyGlider Pro' we started integrating it into the bigger planes.
{|
|[[Image:Component_Board.jpg|thumb|250px|RC and Paparazzi component board]]
|}
===System concept===
As we use redundant control frequencies and special payload electronics we had to integrate Paparazzi using additional hardware. An overview can be seen in a picture.
After some problems concerning the infrared sensors at the beginning we reached a stable working system and acquired much data in summer an fall of 2009.
{|
|[[Image:SystemOverview.jpg|thumb|350px|System diagram]]
|}

===Planned projects===
The angular precision of the infrared sensors of Paparazzi is good for flying. The processing of images asks for a better knowledge of position and orientation. We will test an IMU-system for this task in 2010.
