The Explorer is a rotorcraft.
It is used to test
- control loops such as PID and INDI
- simultaneous datalinks such as Xbee and Wifibroadcast
- vision algorithm
The aircraft flies an Apogee or a Tawaki autopilot board.
There are two RaspberryPi
- on board as a compagnon board connected to the autopilot to provide additional communication and processing task.
- on ground as an interface to the compagnon board, and connected to the ground station to provide additional communication task.
The RPI Zero and RPI 3B cand used in this aircraft as they provided at least one UART and one USB
Explorer/RaspberryPi
Additional equipements connected to the autopilot board are :
- Dshot 4in1 ESC board
- GPS (D-GPS) Explorer/RTK
- Xbee
- Leds
- Radio control
- Servo
Additional equipements connected to the compagnon board are :
- Camera
- External wifi
