How To Autonomous an UAV via gps ?

boombo

Hello Guys , I am totally new in the embedded system universe  :D

 

I am looking forward to building an autonomous UAV controlled via fixed gps waypoints and if i want to change the route i will be able to take control through ssh or something :)

 

i have read lots of posts about that but i feel it a bit confusing  :roll:

 

if someone who is a patient could tell me how to start and what is the requirements ?

do i really need an autopilot or i just can control servos through raspberry pi directly ?

Overview mechanism ? :cry:

and Thanks :)

  • Hello Darken Hero,

    I think DAB has explained it all pretty cool in a nutshell.

    However, I would like to add a few readymade solutions which you can work out easily [i hope].

    From my little experience and on the suggestion of one of my friends -

         # you better go for multirotor UAVs [like quadcopter] for autonomous operation

         # Raspberry pi can be used, but you don't need such a powerful board for that. Also in that case, you have to connect other sensors like gyro and 3axis accelerometer separately. You have to write down your own codes to control the UAV using the sensors and GPS. That takes lots of research I believe.

         # However, I would prefer a ready board which already has a builtin control algorithm and optional GPS connectivity. Like - KK Multikopter, ardupilot etc
