Title: Pi0Plane: A $150 smart fixed wing drone with the Pi Zero
Post by: ikerzubi on September 02, 2016, 06:49:07 PM
Hi everyone!

We have published a new tutorial in https://www.hackster.io/erle-robotics (https://www.hackster.io/erle-robotics) !

This tutorial : https://www.hackster.io/erle-robotics/pi0plane-a-150-smart-fixed-wing-drone-with-the-pi-zero-640be2 demonstrates how to build a low cost Linux drone with the Raspberry Pi Zero and the PXFmini autopilot.

The PXFmini is totally compatible with the Raspberry Pi Zero, and it provides different kind of sensors which allow, for example, autonomous missions. The drone uses a real-time capable Linux kernel, a Debian-based file system and Dronecode’s APM flight stack compiled for the PXFmini autopilot board. All these components have been put together by Erle Robotics in their OS image for the PXFmini.

All the components of the Pi0Plane can be seen in the image below. All the assembly of each component can be found in the tutorial.

Is there any chance with image processing. .
Like optical rth and path tracking etc ?
Very interested

Of course, you can usea the raspi camera and use OPENCV library for image processing. You can find some examples on the internet about raspberry pi and OPENCV.
