Hardware Setup
- You need:
- 1x MikroKopter with Bluetooth or ZigBee
- - 1x Supported input Device
- - 1x Hardware with the following minimum requirements:
-> running linux
-> usb
-> bluetooth ( later on bluetooth or wlan will be supportet )
In the author's setup this will be the notebook ( it's better for debug output ) at stage 1 and one Asus WL500g deluxe running OpenWrt in stage 2.
Compile
$> make
Run
$> ./riddim [config-file]
ChangeLog
0.4 - support for socat ( makes usage of Bluetooth or ZigBee easy )
0.3 - support for SpaceMouse
- 0.2 - first version with possibility to fly ( based on FC0.68b commands )
- 0.1 - initial release with basic functions and proof of concept code ( Scanning for blueooth devices / read joystick / communicate to MK / ..)
