This git repo contains three directories, all of them are related to the same project: A home-made quadcopter running a Raspberry Pi.
- raspberrypi-server: This software, made in C++ is a flight controller intended to be run on the R-Pi, it basically do three things:
- it collects the values from the accelerometer and gyroscope via i2c (magnetometer and barometer may be added later)
- it filters these values via the DMP of the accelerometer
- it manages the motors speed via the Pololu Maestro board according to the above values
- it communicates over wifi with one of the two clients below
- laptop-client: This client, written in C++ with Qt is intended to be a complete "ground station" with recorded logs and real-time informations on the quadcopter. The laptop will also connect to the Android smartphone to be on the same local network as the raspberry pi.
