Autonomous quadcopter flight controller in Rust using a Raspberry Pi.

Hardware

• Raspberry Pi 3

Dependencies

• Rustup with the ARMv7 Linux target (rustup target add armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf)
• arm-linux-gnueabihf gcc cross-compiler (arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc on the AUR for Arch Linux)
• Raspbian Stretch Lite

Hardware Setup

• Status LED on GPIO 17
• HC SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor on GPIO 23 and 24

Setup

Set up a new microSD card with Raspbian:

./scripts/raspbian.sh <SDCARD-DEV>

Configure using Ansible after booting:

make config

Log in via ssh after booting:

ssh pi@aeropi

Use the Makefile to deploy and run:

make deploy run

Or run without deploying:

make run
