1 Hardware Overview Autopilot Control Board- Serves as common platform for other components and has autopilot code and flight plans Battery- Powers the board and servos as well as motor Modem/Antenna- Facilitate communications Ground Control Station- Used to control UAV midflight GPS- Used for altitidue and positioning to waypoints IR Sensors- Determines control movements Motor and Controller- Manages the motor functioning Servos- Adjust control surfaces

2 Autopilot Control Board (Tiny) The main control board is the Tiny v2.11 is the brain of the UAV and controls: Servos (via Pulse-pulse-modulation) Infrared sensors GPS Any applicable payload (CAM) The autopilot is released by and updated by the Paparazzi development team

3 Battery

4 Datalink Radio (Modem & Antenna)

5 GPS Receiver

6 IR Sensors

7 Motor & Controller

8 Servos

9 Payload We never officially implemented a payload, though this would not require extensive work Ostensibly, we would have added a camera to feed back images or video over the modem Due to data transmission rate limitations (9600 baudrate) any video taken would be of very low quality, though images could certainly be sent at a decent frequency Payload would likely be placed on the side of the modem transmitter beneath and partially embedded in a wing

10 Hardware Preparation

11 Custom Cables

12 Software Setup Linux installed blah blah

13 Install Bootloader

14 Program GPS Receiver

15 Programming Autopilot
