  • With the complicated competition flight system, we need high-level software to aid us in the coordination of different sub-systems. The flight system EFS came out last year has a fantastic and delicate architecture, but it also takes way longer time than we expected to accomplish. We want to have a high-level system with simpler logic that can fly a drone with the aid of Pixhawk as the backup plan for competition.

Current Must Haves:

  • Support input/output by PPM, MAVlink

  • Object-oriented (class)

  • FreeRTOS?

  • Proper flow of function calls

Future Expansion:

  • Support SBUS

Not in scope:

  • Multithreading

  • No managment to AM, TM, or PM. Everything will instead be accomplished by autopilot

The goal is to have the first flyable prototype done in mid-June. The actual time span can be longer since there will be a lot of components involved and they all need testing and debugging. The good part is that Hardy Yu has enough time to invest in this development since he is the coop.
