I would like to get mentoring on one of my previous projects using Beaglebone Black. I am currently a B.Tech graduate and would like to upgrade my project. In my B.Tech main project I was successfully able to read PPM signals from RC Receiver and send PWM signal to motor using 2 PRU’s of beaglebone black so as to get real-time values and the Quadcopter was manually flew by me using 6 channel Radio Controller. But this time I would like to make it Autonomous so that it fly by itself. I used the flight stability mechanism used by Ardupilot, which is mentioned in my final presentation here http://antodominic.com/beagle-copter/ . I am looking for a mentor in this area, preferably someone who has experience in making Autonomous UAV’s. My previous project was “Quadcopter using Beaglebone Black as flight controller” the source code can be found here → https://github.com/antodoms/beagle-copter . I am also looking for prospective contributor to my project who has previous experience in designing efficient Electronic circuits.
BBB based autopilot is already implemented and out in the open (check erle robotics). If you have something which adds to it in mind, feel free to propose the idea.
You will also need to find and engage with relevant mentors.
