I'm happy to present the HIL revision of code for Multipilot32

[Roberto Navoni]

During this holidays i finish the port of HIL functionality on Multipilot32 .

On the picture you can see my hil configuration :

MP32 + VRIMU FULL

FOX 5 Frame.

Serial interconnection with my PC

On the Pc there is Mission planner rev 1.1.18 and AerosimRC or Xplane.

This is the first video tutorial of first flight this revision is in Italian , but is simple to understand what i'm doing .. i hope to have some times for recording an Eng. revision , or if a member of our community would doing his video is welcome :)

I use Camtasia to video screen capture . It work fine and not change performance of simulator.

The code is available on repo this is the direct link :

http://code.google.com/p/multipilot32/downloads/detail?name=Firmware_AC32_Hil_rev_ok.rar&can=2&q=#makechanges

This revision of code is the ACopter 2.1.1r7 derived from 8 bit revision Arducopter 2.1.1r7

Enjoy with your MP32 and Happy New Year :)

Impressive!

Ordered the AeroSim RC simulator today, so I can use the rest of the winter to build my new quad + learn flying/testing in the simulator.
Does the MP32F4 V3 support HIL?

[Roberto Navoni]

Hi Darren,

no you don't need but is important to identify where is the serial port on MP32F1 and where is the pin for start the program ... you need a PPM radio reciver Then you can fly :)

Does this need the Oilpan to work? or can I use just the mp32f1 for HIL?

Also do you have a .bin for the arducopter-hil firmware?

I can upload with the flash loader, but havent been able to with IDE

I hope that you can enjoy with us HIL Silmulator , so is possible check all the functionality available on MP32 learn and debug it.

Jan I hope that is also usefull for test of your stabilization algorithm :)
