[Week 9] Equipment and Part Acquirement

Date: 03.8.2019
Equipment and Part Acquirement

Currently the team is working to acquire software and hardware components to complete the project. The component acquirement is being attacked from two fronts, software and hardware. This blog post breaks down the team member assignment and the components necessary.

1. UAV Components (assigned to Justin)

Hexrotor Components

- ArduPilot Flight Controller
- 6 Motors
- 6 Electronic Speed Controller
- LiPo Battery
- Power Distribution Board
- Landing Legs
- Component Platform
- 6 Carbon Fiber Arms
- LiDAR Lite Sensor for Altitude Control
- Optical Flow Sensor for Speed Measurements
- Wireless  Receiver
- Remote Controller

Current Goals

- Currently, the team is working to acquire components for the Hexrotor and will begin assembly shortly after.

2. Simulation Software (Assigned to
Daeun Yim, Nanxin Jin)

Matlab Drone Simulator License

- Software access.

Current Goals

- Currently, the team is working to acquire the liscencing necessary to use the simulation software and initial testing to understand the software package will take place.

[Week 16] Final Blog Post and Demo Video

1. Final Simulator Application The completed project allows the user to simulate the control algorithms that are used to control UAVs. The simulator created models the dynamics and generates the motor voltages that are used to control UAV during flight. Disturbance functionality is also included but hasn't been tested extensively. The final application shows the PID output compared to the desired motor output and shows an animation of the altitude controlled flight. Two control schemes are presented, open loop and closed loop control. The final application shows the trajectories generated by these control schemes to allow for a visual comparison. Sub-parts Altitude Controller Open Loop Controller Closed Loop Controller Final UI Data Display     2. Demo Video The video included below is the final demonstration for the simulator application.   https://youtu.be/fAxl8cEhzJ4
