Design of an intelligent flight instrumentation unit using embedded RTOS

Abstract

The postembryonic development and external morphology of each larval instar of Gonatopus bartletti Olmi, 1984 are described and illustrated. The affinities among the immature and mature larvae of G. bartletti and corresponding instars of other species of the same subfamily are discussed. The mature larva shows a peculiar structure never observed in other Gonatopodinae species; near the base of each mandible is a peculiar subrectangular heavily sclerotized and dark pigmented area with a lens-shaped transparent protuberance in its anterolateral angle. Its function is unknown.

Flores, J.L.",,"2011",,"Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (MUAV) must calculate its spatial position to control the flight dynamics, which is done by Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). MEMS Inertial sensors have made possible to reduce the size and power consumption of such units. Commonly the flight instrumentation operates independently of the main processor. This work presents an instrumentation block design, which reduces size and power consumption of the complete system of a MUAV. This is done by coupling the inertial sensors to the main processor without considering any intermediate level of processing aside. Using Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) reduces the number of intermediate components, increasing MUAV reliability. One advantage is the possibility to control several different sensors with a single communication bus. This feature of the MEMS sensors makes a smaller and less complex MUAV design possible.
