CRIUS AIOP V1.1 Project Part 17 - PID Tuning For ACRO Mode Test Flight

this video is just watching the UAV flying without the teaching lesson

CRIUS AIOP V1.1 Project Part 16 - PID Tuning For ACRO Mode

Firstly, hover the UAV by hand, hanging in the air. Then, on the mission planner click on the configuration =>arducopter config.

 Secondly, set all the value on the Rate Pitch to zero. Then, try and error the D rate value until it does not oscillate and take that value and divide by two. Set the I rate to the same value as D rate. Then set the P rate by try and error until the UAV come back up and back down steadily without oscillating. After that, set the  I rate again until the UAV can stay by itself on the back up position or back down position. Once all is set done, go outside and perform test.

CRIUS AIOP V1.1 Project Part 8 - MinimOSD

Minim OSD has the analog side, 12V to power up the transmitter and camera and the  digital side have 5 V power supply. But it will cause heating issue. To overcome the overheat problem, solder together the two packs the one in the front and the another one at the back so that the board is only power up by the digital side which is 5V

Next search the key word “minim osd extra” at google and go in the website name https://code.google.com/p/minimosd-extra/‎ and download the configuration tools for the minim osd.

After that connect the minim osd to the usb adaptor and the board will start blinking.

 It has a reset button to reset the board. So if we do any changes, we need to reset the button.

One of the problem faced is that might cause the flickering on the tv screen. So to fix the problem, make sure the COM is correct on the configuration tools. On the video mode, choose the PAL. Then, on panel 1, remove the thing that is not needed and on panel 2 is removed everything.

Lastly, made sure to updated the firmware and charset and can start play choose panel.

CRIUS AIOP V11 Project Part 7 - Blue Tooth

The bluetooth module is connected to the RS232 programmer then to the computer. Then the driver will be installed and the Bluetooth will start to blink. After that, go to the properties and made sure the bit per second it 9600.

Open the arduino, click on the serial monitor.  The board rate needed to change to 9600. Then change the Bluetooth name by typing AT+NAMECRIUSAIOP and click send. For this type of board is 115200 so the number have to be 8, so typing AT+BLD8 and click send. After that go to the properties change the board rate to 115200

The the crius board is  then attached by the Bluetooth and connect the Bluetooth dongle to the computer. After that, just adding the device on the pc.

Go to the mission planner, made sure the COM is correct and click connect. Lastly we can playing around by rotating or moving the cirus to see the respond on the mission planner.

CRIUS AIOP V1.1 Project Part 6 - External Power Connector

When we connect the GPS or the telemetry radio to the crius, we must use the external power connector to power up the board eternally . First we remove the yellow jumper. Then solder the wire to the Extend power and connect to the UBEC to provide the consistent voltage output to the crius. Thats all for the video external power connector

dropping a rover from hexacopter

since it is quite hard to find the exact thing that i want , which is a detail information dropping system from UAV. I only manage to find two videos which is a bit similar and can be a reference when i design the dropping system
