Thanks you very much.

Have you already used FlightGear to do Hardware in the Loop verification?

Best,
Julien.

Hi readers,

For my first post on this mailing-list I am looking for people who 
already have built a working model for a quadcopter using the Yasim 
FDM. I am a student in electronics and embedded systems and I aim to 
build one for an experiment.


Next, I would like to do such hardware in the loop simulation and 
validation. So I would like to be able to make Yasim/FlightGear 
interacts with real hardware or at least Matlab. Is it possible? Some 
of you already do that?


Best,

Julien.

2010-09-19 Thread Julien Peeters

Hi, I've just used you model. But I have few bugs.

The first one is that the quadcopter stays under the ground when I 
launch FG.

The second is that I cannot control it with usual keyboard keys.

Any idea?

Best,
Julien.

PS: Sorry if my questions are a bit boring... It's the first time I do 
such things.

there is no 3d-model for the quadcopter. It is very small, much smaller 
than most other flightgear aircrafts.



The second is that I cannot control it with usual keyboard keys.
All commercial quadcopters have gyro stabilization, but this one has 
none (should be not much work to program one in nasal or using the 
autopilot). This quadcopter needs much experience in controlling of 
model helicopters to be flown. I think it is impossible to fly it by 
keyboard.

I once toyed with a quadracopter model based on JSBSim.  The propeller model 
wasn't sufficient to the task, and I haven't tried again with the newer rotor 
model.  There is a simple 3D model you could integrate with the YASim version 
perhaps.  The repository is on gitorious:
http://gitorious.org/ron-s-hanger/quadracopter

Good luck.

I thought that the Paparazzi project had one. The BoozSimulator uses JSBSim.

I haven't looked at this at all.

There also may be a way to do this with the new JSBSim rotor model. There
will probably be an update to that code sometime soon.

Great to know that. I thought JSBSim cannot model rotor based aircrarft.

Some one knows when this will be released?

Hi, Julien,

Thomas Kreitler donated a rotor model. That was incorporated into JSBSim.
There was also an Apache AH-1 model that worked within FlightGear with the
new JSBSim rotor model, I believe. It's still in a beta stage. We'd like to
see that model be generalized a bit more. Thomas believes he will be able to
do this next month. So, there are still some things that need to be done
with it. You can see the code in the JSBSim project as FGRotor.cpp.
