Introduction

Raspy UAV is a pilot project based on easy-to-find HW and SW components like Ardupilot, Raspberry Pi2 board, NAVIO operating system and the following specific units:

  • MPU9250 Inertial Sensor and compass (via I2C)
  • MS5611 barometer (via I2C)
  • PCA9685 PWM generator (via I2C)
  • PIC18FJ11 for the RC input, battery and sonar monitor (via I2C, see RaspySensorBoard repo)
  • uBLOX M6N GPS module (via SPI)

The advantage of this setup is that there is no need for a PCB because each one is already provided with its own and only needs power and data connection (I2C, SPI). So it is very easy to integrate the whole system. The focus of the project is then to act as a low-cost baseline for easy HW/SW extensions, paving the way for possible new applications.
