Preface

  • RIDDIM is an acronym for Remote Interactive Digital Drone Interface Mashup . In this project its all about testing diffrent approaches to pilot the MikroKopter with Human Interface Devices rather than the normal RC-Remote.

    Contact the LiGi for further questions.

Tested Devices

Saitek X-52

  • Pro:
    • LCD-Display
    • lots of buttons/axis
  • Contra:
    • Huge

Saitek AV8R-01

  • Pro:
    • pricing
    • medium size / weight
  • Contra:
    • handling

3DConnexion SpaceNavigator Personal

  • Pro:
    • very small
    • lots of axis in one hand
    • very intuitive
  • Contra:
    • few buttons (2)
    • heavy for its size

Second Outdoor Flight

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 / ..)
