NorthStar UAS

Summary

This is a collection of all the UAS, flight control, EKF, ground station, data analysis, and mapping related work I've done since the middle 2000's.

April 2024: Working on an approach to developing flight control laws that are fit directly to flight test data.

Advantage: there is almost no need for tuning. Disadvantage: there is almost no knobs to tune if you don't like the performance.

May 2023: Significant effort towards porting the arduipilot eco/build system version of the fmu back to arduino/teensy.

This means further development will not run on commodity pixhaw type hardware but will instead run on arduino and teensy style hardware. This is more interesting for me, enables development with more modern C++ constructs, and make all this code and all these concepts available to the wider arduino community.
