Introduction UAV is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Our goal is to setup two different plane configurations with Paparazzi autopilot and fly them autonomously Do this in conjunction with two separate Aerospace Engineer teams Create a handbook detailing simple recreation of this project BETTER PIC THAN THIS

The Planes Multiplex Funjet – Elevons only for pitch/roll control – Other difference Multiplex Minimag –Traditional rudder and elevators for pitch/roll control –Other difference

Paparazzi UAS IMPROVE THIS PICTURE

Cable Work Creating proprietary cables – Bootloader cable:USB to 4-pin on Tiny – USB Programming cable:USB to 7-pin on Tiny – GPS Programming cable:I don’t even know – Power cables: As necessary

Sensor Modification Autopilot supplies 3.3V instead of 5V expected by IR sensors With a 3.3V source, the IR sensor gains are offset by ~1.5 This presents saturation problems while in high IR contrast locations Replace resistors for unity gain

GPS Setup and Functionality U-blox software used for initial GPS setup UAV software uses GPS for speed, location, elevation Real ground level needed for altitude conversion from elevation

Ground Control Station/Modem GCS uses independent modem to interface with aircraft GCS controls aircarft through notebook PC Can be overridden by manual R/C control

Test Flights Pictures and details of the more important test flights we held and their results

Summary We got them both to fly autonomously? Yes into a field… ROFL OMG LOL Blah blah I have no idea what to say here
