I am currently trying to develop an Iron bird testbed for an UAV to test its harware components and evaluate the real-time capabilities of the designed flight controllers using a speedgoat. I was thinking of starting with a rate gyro sensor (for pitch rate feedback), a servo (acting as an elevator), and testing a simple pitch rate controller feedback using the speedgoat to communicate with harware and SIMULINK and test the designed closed loop pitch controller. I was wondering if anyone has done anything similar- designing control algorithms in Simulink and leveraging a Speedgoat target computer as a prototype for the final controller, and/or test hardware components (Rapid Control Prototyping- RCP)? I’m eager to know what has been done and how 🙂
Thanks,
