Product overview

Description

The STSW-FCU001 firmware enables the STEVAL-FCU001V1 and STEVAL-FCU001V2 evaluation board to support quadcopter drone design.

It comes with six main applications: a remote control interface to interpret data command from remote control; sensor management to retrieve sensor data; an attitude heading reference system (AHRS) to elaborate sensor data in roll pitch yaw angles (quaternions); flight control merging the AHRS output and information coming from the remote control to define the flight strategy; PID control to give commands to the four quadcopter motors.

  • All features

    • Implementation of a flight controller unit based on the STEVAL-FCU001V1 and STEVAL-FCU001V2 evaluation boards
    • Open source code available on Github
    • High performance stabilization for quadcopters in aerial movements
    • Full support for the on-board gyroscope and accelerometer
    • Barometer support for holding altitude available
    • Magnetometer support for direction detection available (only for STEVAL-FCU001V1)
    • Embedded routine to accept commands from the most common remote controls
