  • 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.

Image RemovedImage Added

Current Must Haves:

  • Support input/output by PPM, MAVlink

  • Object-oriented (class)

  • run in a FreeRTOS thread

  • Proper flow of function calls

  • RC control to the drone

  • fly the drone

  • Using TM to pass waypoints to Pixhawk to achieve autonomous control

Future Expansion:

  • Support SBUS

  • Mavlink to ground station

Not in scope:

  • No managment to AM or PM. Everything will instead be accomplished by PX4

  • No video Transmitting
