Abstract
Small radio controlled (R/C) rotary-wing UAVs have many potential military and civilian applications, but can be very difficult to fly. Small and lightweight sensors and computers can be used to implement a control system to make these vehicles easier to fly. This project outlines to develop a control system for a small UAV; an 8-bit microcontroller has been interfaced with MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) accelerometers, an R/C transmitter and receiver, and motor drivers. A quadrotor with a stability augmentation system
that uses these electronics to control the vehicle has also been developed. The future goals of this project are to incorporate more sensors to increase the level of autonomy for UAV operation.
