Produktbeschreibung
Es ist ein Arduino Mega kompatibles Board, das von Chris
Anderson und von Jordi Muñoz von DIY Drohnen unter Verwendung des neuen
ATmega2560
entworfen wurde.
Der ArduPilot ist eine programmierbare automatische Kurssteuerung,
die nur ein GPS-Modul und einen Infrarot-X-Y-Sensor, wie das
FMA Modul benötigt, um eine komplette UAV Steuerung zu bauen.
Das
Board ist bereits fertig mit den SMD Bauteilen bestückt, selbst muss
man nur noch die Stiftleisten einlöten. Der Bootloader ist bereits
programmiert. Das eigentliche Steuerprogramm kann man mit Hilfe der
Arduino IDE erzeugen und auf das Board flashen. Weitere Einzelheiten gibt es auf der Projektseite.

Funktionsumfang (englisch)
The ArduPilot Mega is the newest version of autopilot board designed
by Chris Anderson and Jordi Muñoz of DIY Drones. This latest revision
uses
the ATmega2560
in place of the ATmega1280.
ArduPilot Mega is a fully programmable autopilot that requires a GPS module and sensors
to create a functioning Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The autopilot
handles both stabilization and navigation, eliminating the need for
a separate stabilization system. It also supports a "fly-by-wire" mode
that can stabilize an aircraft when flying manually under RC control,
making it easier and safer to fly. The hardware and software are all
open source. The board comes with all the surface-mount parts already
soldered, but requires the user to solder on connectors. RC processing
firmware is already loaded, but the autopilot software must be
downloaded and loaded onto the board by the user. It can be programmed with the Arduino IDE.
We recommend the following items to accompany this product:
Other necessary elements, including aircraft recommendations, can be found at the project's home page.
Note: This product is a collaboration with Jordi Munoz
of 3d Robotics. A portion of each sales goes back to them for product
support and continued development.
Features:
-
Controller designed to be used with autonomous aircraft, car or boat.
-
Based on a 16MHz Atmega2560 processor.
-
Built-in hardware failsafe that uses a separate circuit
(multiplexer chip and ATMega328 processor) to transfer control from the
RC system to the autopilot and back again. Includes ability to reboot
the main processor in mid-flight
-
Dual-processor design with 32 MIPS of onboard power
-
Supports of 3D waypoints and mission commands (limited only by memory)
-
Comes with a 6-pin GPS connector (EM406 style).
-
Has 16 spare analog inputs (with ADC on each) and 40 spare digital input/outputs to add additional sensors
-
Four dedicated serial ports for two-way telemetry (using optional XBee modules) and expansion
-
Can be powered by either the RC receiver or a separate battery
-
Hardware-driven servo control, which means less processor overhead, tighter response and no jitters
-
Eight RC channels (including the autopilot on/off channel) can be processed by the autopilot.
-
LEDs for power, failsafe status, autopilot status and GPS lock
-
Full autopilot software, including IMU and groundstation/mission planning code, are available at DIY Drones. Code supports autonomous takeoff and landing.
