Indiflight Support Package

Github Github

This mono-repo contains all supporting applications and documentation for the Indiflight project.

Also, all code and instructions to reproduce the results from 2 related conference papers, and the simulation data in the reslated dataset are found here. See the #References section of this README.

Description

The repository constains simulation code for multirotor flight with Indiflight, including data decoding and analysis tools, as well as configuration files and dockerfiles to reproduce the conference paper results.

Additionally, a utility-bundle is provided to operate automatic flight for Indiflight multicopters with a raspberry-pi companion computer.

Structure

See the individual README.mds for more details.

Indiflight

Github

Flight controller firmware based on Betaflight. It includes a completely new controller stack, and interfacing extensions to make it useful for flight control research.

Indiflight Configurator

Github

Our fork supports configuring the new modes in Indiflight and adapted the visualisation to the new coordinate frames.

Caveats: INDI page doesnt work yet; loading firmware online doesnt work

Blackbox Log Explorer

Github

Our fork has some additional display features and fixes issues that allow parsing the huge Indiflight logs

Racebian

Github

A fork of the Raspberry Pi OS that comes with many pre-installed utilities that make a good companion computer. The Cross-Compiler in the Groundstation/ directory can be used to push software to a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W running this.

Pi-protocol

Github

Minimalist messaging protocol used to communicate with the flight controller. Simpler, less overhead, and easier to include in other software than MSP.
