o Portable low-cost aerial drone that can be used for reconnaissance o Relay real-time video and data, like location, heading, battery life o Take high-resolution pictures of the ground in flight o Store photos and some flight data in non- volatile memory, á la “blackbox” system. o Control drone manually via a control unit
I2C interface: IMU Digital Compass/ Temperature Sensor UART interface: GPS sensor Xbee Pro SPI: SD Card Battery Management IC PWM: Servo Motors Motor to swivel video camera
Atmel AT32UC3A256 Voltage required = 3.3 V Satisfied all the design constraints
Voltage Supplied by Battery = 11.1 V 3.3V required for: Microcontroller IMU GPS Compass Xbee Pro SD card 5V required for Video Transmitter
Communicates via I2C Voltage required 3.3V
Required Voltage = 3.3V Will communicate via UART
Power was originally already supplied from plane battery Will be controlled via PWM
Communicates via I2C Voltage required 3.3V
Communicates via UART Voltage required 3.3V
Communicates via SPI Voltage required 3.3V
Communicates via SPI Special circuit because monitoring voltage >10V
