Deadline is in less than two weeks!
08/13/2017 at 01:07 • 0 commentsWe probably won't have time to actually finish our PID code before the eclipse on August 21, so we will probably have to use a PixHawk 2.1 with ArduPlane in order to quickly finish our glider. We currently cannot afford to get it, so I'm contacting a few companies to request a sponsorship.

PID Stabilizer Working!
08/13/2017 at 01:05 • 0 commentsI've been developing the PID code for about a week now, and I finally got the PID code to work! It works by implementing two PID loops, one for the roll axis, and another for the Pitch axis. The PID loop's output is then converted and output as servo motion, which controls the flaps of the glider.
Possible Improvements: I'm thinking that using 1 3d quaternion and 1 PID loop would be a lot better, as the flaps can move more efficiently and accurately with less errors.
