Tiny v3

New features Wish List For The New Paparazzi Board

• 4 layer PCB for EMI improvement;
• External GPS;
• External IMU;
• Pressure sensors for altitude and speed determination (will need some help on the software, who can help?);
• PPM encoder included;
• ATMEGA 328 for freeze detection and MCU reset (will need some help here, who can help?);
• External/Internal power source for servos and datalink selected with a jumper;
• Micro SD Card (will need some help here, who can help?);
• JTAG debugging port (will need some help here, who can help?);

More ideias of improvement are welcome.

HB_Autopilot Solution

We decided to work with HB_Autopilot hardware that was built in Bremen for quadcopters. Our intention is to use this hardware and some part of the code to be the base to build the new tiny v3 autopilot with all the listed features for a fixed wing aircraft or with a switch to work with quadcopters or helicopters or fixed wing capability.
