Sidus Sigma Smart Drone Project.

Welcome to our fully functional flight control software running on freeRTOS. This safe and robust software is designed for ESP32 based Sidus Sigma Autopilot and optimized for Sidus Sigma Smart Drone. Our repo also includes the ground station software running on Windows environment.

Please visit Wiki page for additional information.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running the code for development and testing purposes.

Setting-up the toolset

• Install Arduino IDE

  Suggestion: It is better to install Arduino IDE to the folder "C:\Arduino" to follow the next steps easily. 
  

• Install Arduino Core for ESP32 (Note: idf-release/v3.3 is currently supported)

  Hints:
   - Basic step at this link is clone the repo at "https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32" to the folder "C:\Arduino\hardware\espressif\esp32"
   - Install SmartGit or TortoiseGit for Git flow
   - To change directory at Git Bash, use "cd /C/Arduino/hardware/espressif/esp32".
  

• Install Microsoft Visual Studio
• Install Arduino for Visual Studio (Visual Micro)

  Hint: Don't forget to configure Arduino IDE location at Microsoft Visual Studio. 
  

• Clone Mavlink library to the "C:\Arduino\hardware\espressif\esp32\libraries" folder.
• Add I2CDev and MPU6050 libraries to the "C:\Arduino\hardware\espressif\esp32\libraries" folder.

Build and upload the code

• Open the Sidus_Github_Solution.sln in Microsoft Visual Studio
• The Ground_Station code may not be loaded because of the .Net Framework version mismatch. Install the targeted .NET Framework version (Developer Pack).
• Select the "ESP32 Dev Module" and the COM port.
• Click the "Build and Upload" button.
