Fixed Wing drone


hi

i'm relatively new arduino. have mega 2560 , learned using spektrum remote, adafruit ultimate gps breakout, adafruit 9-dof imu bno55, servos, escs , motors , not working cc3000 wifi breakout.

as first uav project, use old trainer fixed wing. start, build flight stabilization controller not hard there plenty of literature towards pid mixing. want build fake flaps ailerons can made separate channel , little programming.

i thought of using arduino pro mini 5v instead of big mega. sensors gps , 9-dof described above.

however, i'm not sure whole mission planning, data link , forth. think arduino won't solution doesn't have processing power. should plan use raspberry pi co-processor these tasks?

if so, how should imagine control&dataflow? thought of connecting receiver , 9dof directly arduino essential stable flight. gps connected rpi, communication adapter (wifi, xbee,lora,...). arduino send sensor data rpi , receive control instructions in return. way, think there more reliability can set flight mode (manual/automatic) directly arduino , take control in emergency situation.

i have seen flight controllers pixhawk, want build more myself , save money  :)

could propose ideas research further build uav? there projects use rpi, beagleboard or similar soc. far understand, main problem os scheduler , possible high delay of operations come this.

thanks reading , proposing nice ideas!

kind regards,
dominik

maybe haven't done many of these.  end costing more if had gone , bought one.  , when add in value of time it's worse.  if want save money buy pixhawk.  reason build own if want pixhawk can't or if want educational experience of building one.  , in cases still not start ground up.  i'd start open source flight controller code that's out , modify that.
