 Goals

Framework Requirements to overtake Simulink

• Resources, community support

Simulator requirements

• Able to integrate C code (ZP3)

• Able to simulate wind/imu/noise

• Visualize simulation, (able to import CAD model for later models, not important right now)

• Able to reitarate models easily

• Accurate dynamic/physic model

• Manual inputs / Real-time inputs?

 Discussion topics

• PID Tuning for Attitude Manager? (Need accurate model to have accurate PID values)

• Big challenge; finding parameters

Milestones

• Revalidate framework, 1 week, MS#1

• Researching on fixed-wing dynamics, 1 week, MS#2

• Verifying flowchart / architecture (scope), 1-2 weeks, MS#3

  • What ZP3 code to integrate

    • What functions, what they do, inputs/outputs, what data types

  • Simulink model

• Pretty decent fixed-wing simulator model, 2-3 months, MS#4

  • Very simple model working (then reiterate with bit more complex model), MS#4a

    • Develop physics model of fixed-wing

  • Manual (vector user input) and controller MS#4b

  • Integrating ZP3/C code (motor outputs, sensor fusion), MS#4c

• Decent quad simulator, hard to estimate timeframe (more complex dynamics) MS#5

  • Branch off from fixed-wing model when basics are established (different people work simultaneously)

• Tuning the model, hard to estimate timeframe MS#6a

  • Flight data (analyzing geometry, aerodynamic flow)

  • Determintion of coefficents and aerodynamic derivatives

• Refit simulator to competition drone, MS#7

How work will be split up:

1. 2 on fixed wing dynamics, other 2 on quad dynamics, after starting with fixed-wing architecture

2. 1 on simulink model, 1 integrating ZP3 code into matlab
