Intro

I'm working on implementing a pprz UAV as a way of merging my interrest in hobby planes, embbeded electronics and programming. My location is Montreal Canada.

My current Air frame

I'm currently working on a Multiplex Minimag with the following equipement:

• RC-er warp4-5T Brushless motor
• Castle Creation Phoenix 35Amp brushless ESC
• polyquest 2100mha 3S lipo
• 4 Futaba 3114 servo
• Berg 4L receiver
• Maxstream Xbee pro with whip antenna
• fma IR sensor
• PPRZ tiny13 v1.1

Gound Equipement:

• Dell Laptop
• Xbee USB packaged modem w/9db rubber duck or 14db patch antenna
• Orbit pocket ladder charger

The state of my project

Currently everything is connected to each other and basic functionality has been showed. Final/permanent mounting of the RC receiver and IR sensor is to be completed. There is currently no payload in this airframe and none is planned. I will probably move to a twinstar II when I'm ready to install a video system.

Todo

• Replace the resistors on the IR sensor to fix the gain of the op-amps to have the right range for 3.3V operation
• Final mounting of RC receiver and antenna
• Final mounting of IR sensor
• Install hatch retaining device
• Calibration of IR sensor
• Calibration of RC signals
• Range testing
• Initial flight testing and triming
• Tuning of the control loops
• Tuning of the Navigation gain
