Hi Guys!

Yeah, it’s summer and now I have time to continue my investigations in FPV-flying. Some weeks ago I had a little disaster and crashed my FlightCtrl and my NaviCtrl (shortcut in the connection cable).
So I had to order a new NaviCtrl immediatly. I had luck, the MK-GPS and EPI-OSD survived.

And now – my Kopter is back (better than ever *ggg*)

Ok, let’s get to the topic.

A lot of people asked me, how I mount the camera and the EPI-OSD on my Mikrokopter. Thats a little bit complicated to explain and so I took some pictures to show you how I did it.
Update – 30.05.09: Attention, if you want your C-OSD Version to work fully together with the NaviCtrl you have to connect the EPI-OSD to the debug port of you NaviCtrl!

I hope that I will have some time in the next weeks to do my first FPV Tests with video recording to post it here (maybe the weather is nice

As you probably know I am a member of a team that has to built a robot. This is part of my education at the NTB in Buchs in the first two semester.

Here is a short clip of the actual status. Details will follow at the end of the project.

Some facts:

• Robot controlled by WiiMote
• A PC/Laptop has a relay application that realizes the Bluetooth communication (Software: LabView)
• WiiMote -> Bluetooth -> Labtop -> Bluetooth -> uC -> Motors/Sensors (Bidirectional of course)
• IR-Sensors (Sharp Type GPD120)
• Stepper Motors
• LiPo power supply (11.1V / 3p1s)

Open tasks (“todo”)

• give it intelligence (autonom)
• communication with partner team
• final documentation
• preperation for public presentation
