===== Aims ===== * Develop a controllable descent system that can land in a designated area (not necessarily return back to base though that would be nice) Agreed mid term work areas: - Parafoil Drop Tests - to get dynamics - Lifting Body with Parachute landing - Basic Control Systems test - Single surfaces cotrol - Parafoil deployment system - Radio Uplink (3.3V, Serial I/O) - Servo Controller (5V, with Opto isolated I/f Serial I/O) - Sensor subsystem - Tempreture, pressure, 3 axis accelerometer, 3 axis rate gyro 3 axis magnetic compass - serial out - Main Computing system (Parafoil/Lifting Body) - Linux SBC = Gumstix - code in C
