Status Report 1 September 1st, 2010 4R-UAV James Martinez Jonathan Rodriguez Juan Tafoya 4R-UAV is a 4 rotor autonomous quadcopter packed with an array of sensors capable of monitoring remote and hostile areas.
Overall Need • The 4 rotor UAV is a rapid deployment platform that can be used to aid law enforcement, military, and rescue personnel in reaching inaccessible areas and gathering intelligence. • Milestones • Planning 100% • Design • Research • Build • Test • Present final design project 12/2010
Tasks Completed • Gathered most of the materials • Started to upload arduino programming code • Soldered protoboard • Found our home in the lab
Ongoing/Pending Tasks • Converting to G’s and Degrees/Second in the IMU • Debugging PWM signal to motor speed controller • Stabilize voltage reference
Upcoming Tasks • Mount motors • Test lipo and nimh battery output • Use a separate battery to arduino/ atmega1280 board for power • Write a function/expression for the IMU filtering
