This report provides a detailed procedure for interfacing an Atmel SAM7S256 board with a Linux-based PC. The environment and interface are related to a new autopilot project that is designed around the ARM7 architecture used within the U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Vehicle Technology Directorate. An example project is also discussed as a means to see how the environment operates.
This report describes a 3-degrees-of-freedom gimbaled platform designed to be used as a hardware in the loop simulator. This platform is designed to aid in the calibration and synchronization of micro aerial vehicles' autopilot components. This platform can also be used as a simulator allowing the autopilot to fly a computer model of the airframe. This allows for the quick and efficient verification of autopilot behavior with different airframes under ...
The TCM8230MD is a color complementary metal-oxide semiconductor video camera manufactured by Toshiba. Image resolutions range from 128x96 to 640x480 pixels, with frame rates as high as 30 Hz. Due to high data rates, a powerful microcontroller with an efficient buffering algorithm is required. Because of its small size, mass, power consumption, and cost, this camera has tremendous application to micro-robotic systems. Microcontrollers such as the ARM9 have dedicated hardware ...
