AirRocks-FlightController

ARFC is a quad-copter flight controller which uses concepts from SCA and iterative learning to achieve awesome drone actions.

Makefile

make - optomized build, only assembles new sources, no headers
make new - clear old objects and starts build from scratch
make build - optomized build, no linking

Progress

Subsystems 96%
Defined as hardware and the basic software needed to use it. (Hardware & firmware exists )

1. PID - 100%
2. Waiting on IMU data Provider
3. SPI - 100%
4. Research "failsafe landing procedure"
5. Research "detect SPI failure"
6. SCA - 80%
7. Invest in better power source
8. Must re-write GrovePi interface in C/C++
9. Needs bettery wiring / not enough physical space in SCA module space
10. DHCP interface - 100%
11. Waiting on aditional Rpi to test P2P posibilities
12. Sensor Providers - 100%
13. Research ability and speed of retrieving all sensor readings(data faster then SPI)

Implemented 57.5%
Defined as a design feature that achieves its goal.

1. Proportional integral derivative controller (PID) - 80%
2. needs tuning
3. SPI - 100%
4. Works great, coms are fast and reliable.
5. Spatial contextual awareness (SCA) - 0%
6. Must wait for PID Subsystem
7. User interface & (DGRAM) - 50%
8. Waiting for Android developement.
9. Sensor Providers - 100%
10. IMU done, USSA waiting on PIDctrl
11. USSA - requires a proper heading reference so that unecessary sensors don't fire, (if i'm flying north don't look south)
