WEEK 3- Arduino Ethernet, Simulation of a helicopter control system

Location: 3^rd floor, EEE building, University of Liverpool

Date: 20^th February, 2015

Thank you for waiting for a long time. This is the third week of our group project. After three week’s group work, we almost achieve our goal. In last week, we finished the code for control part. In third week, we finish the code for Bluetooth part, which were added to the control part.

Initially, we define five commands: up, stable, forward, backward, recover and down. We use a APP named “Bluno” to control the flying system. At first, it is a problem to connect the Arduino to the mobile. Finally we fixed the problem by changing some settings. After adding the Bluetooth, the whole system is almost finished.

The issue we facing now is how to show the feedback of the system. Two methods are raised, one is to show the voltage directly, another is to measure the speed of the motors. However, the problem is how to measure the speed.

Thank you for reading and waiting our next wee post.
