Firmware for the UAVForge vehicle autopilots. For the time being, "Quad" is the only available project.

Firmware for the UAVForge quad copter's Ardupilot APM 2.5 autopilot. Current feature set is limited to attitude and rotation rate PID control laws. Future features include velocity PID control and a communications bus for to facilitate communication with other microcontrollers on the UAV.

When compiled with the TELEM proprocessor flag defined, the quad firmware will output telemetry data over the hal.console serial port when the quad is throttled up. The ArdupilotTelemetryVisualizer folder contains a simple WinForms application to read that data.

Note that the current version is quite fragile. For the telemetry visualizer work correctly, the quad should be powered up and allowed to boot fully before running the telemetry visualizer. (The quad is finished booting when the red LED turns on).

Future plans include developing an autopilot for fixed wing aircraft.

The primary purpose of this project. We are currently developing the a tilt-rotor UAV airframe. Once the design is finalized, we will begin work on the autopilot.

If you use our code, or if you're intersted in this project, we want to hear from you! Drop us a line at jason-watkins@outlook.com or chrisprijic@gmail.com.
