Multipilot 2.0 - AP32 Building Log realtime update. The next gen cpu for your Arducopter. - Forum

Hello everyone,
a year and a half ago came Multipilot 1.0 an inertial platform for applications and semi-professional hobby. After the excellent results obtained from the marketing of these cards, and participation in development projects as open source and Aeroquad Arducopter and 'born www.virtualrobotix.com community.
Today our community is proud to present the evolution of our project: Multipilot 2.0 ST.

The characteristics of Multipilot 2.0 are:

Hardware:
- ARM7 Cortex-M3 processor STM32F103VET6. 72 Mhz
- Flash 512 Kbytes RAM 64 Kbytes
- 16-bit Timer 4
- SPI 2 (ADC Interface, MicroSD connection)
- I ² C 2 (First I2C (sensor), Second I2C control until ESC 12)
- USART 5 (GPS, DEBUG Console, XBee Pro Telemetry)
- USB 1 (Upload Firmware, Debug Console, Power Board for Debug)
- CAN 1 (Interconnection with Professional ESC 1 Mbit update rate)
- 6 PWM Output Bit 16 (ESC / Servo Control)
- 8 PWM Input 16 Bit (RC Input Channel, accept PPM SUM)
- 8 Analog Input 12 Bit.
- Professional 4 layers PCB.
- DC: DC 30 V (6s Lipo): 5 volts and 3.3 volts
Sensor Board:
- Diydrones OilPan . (High quality entry level board)
- LN Professional Sensor Board: 3 Axis Accelerometer, 3 Axis Gyroscope, 3 Axis Magnetometer , 10 HZ Gps , High Quality Sensor for certify professional application.
IDE and Development tools:
- Arduino IDE.
- Arm GCC Toolchain.
- Fully compatible with arduino wiring language.
Firmware:
- On this platform will be available a lot of RC library developed by Virtualrobotix and Diydrones community.
- Standard software will be an improved revision of Arducopter , Ardupilot , Multiwii , Aeroquad . The first revision of code will be Arducopter NG .
- MultiFox Rev 4 special Arm Edition.
Special Feature :
- Multipilot 2.0 is fully compatible with ArduPilotMega DiyDrones Board.
- OEM revision of Multipilot 2.0 available.

P.S.

Thanks to Sandro for His Beautifull Renders of Multipilot 2.0

Project Update !!!

Dear Friends,

in last two months we're working to new lib for MP32FXV3 Board, add new Add Navi and new sensor . We're doing a huge work on library .At the end of our work you can use last revision of APM library on arm ,too

There is a great news , after more of 2 years of experience on ST Arm micro we decide to implement our Virtualrobotix.h Class . We're porting all low level platform on this new architecture the main advantages is that low level lib will be Standard ST Lib. The Virtualrobotix.h will be available in 1-2 month for developer . If some one is interest to join development contact me.

Another great news is that we decide to support also STM32L1 micro controller on MP32L1V3 Board.

This micro consumption is 234 micro amp / mhz . That is very good for app that need a micro with a very low power . For example if you want develop a sail robot that going around the world only with a small pv for energy that is right product for you ... :)

Best

Hello~sir

could I ask that where I can buy all the hardware parts? I want to have a try. This is excellent!

And now I have a old STM32F103VET6, STM32F103VET6 Datasheet is this,can I use it here?

Hi Itay,

on multipilor32 repo you can found last revision of code ported on MP32F1

https://code.google.com/p/multipilot32/downloads/list

The last revision ported to MP32F1 was rev 2.9.1rc2 last version code was doing in april.

So the rev 3.0.x ap_hal is not yet ported to MP32F1 . It' available for MP32F4 and VRBrain.

So the main advantages on new board are better sensor and a lot of more power available.

The usb bootloader is available for MP32F1 and Eclipse code is yet support bootloader.

Check last code available and if you need more info i'm here.

  Is there any other code, or the only code you use is the ardupilot code
  
  Do you have your own flight control code?

New VRIDE and Firmware for MP32F1 + VRIMU Full available on Repository

I test in flight alt hold and loiter. Now i open a new thread on Forum about testing of automatic functionality of quad. So the user can share some suggestions about the setup.

  Hi Navoni,
  
  can you sum up all the improvements done to the MP32F1
  
  and please say what is the latest status of this project
  
  what firmwares do I have for this pilot
  
  can I use the USB bootloader
  
  can I use Ardupilot V3.0.1 , with there HAL support

Dear Firends,

in these week we release last revision of code for Multipilot32F1V1 and V3 . The revision is 2.6.x on the main page of virtualrobotix is possible to see the fly test doing by EMILE , Thanks Emile.

Today we solve also another small bug on Roll cam pin. So now is possible to use the camera controll also with ppm standard radio not on ppm_sum.
