Hello,
Don't mind me, I'm just showing off a project.
The project is a flight controller / autopilot for RC planes, with a Teensy 3.1 for a brain. I received four brand new PCBs today. It's the first time I've ever had a PCB manufactured, so I'm pretty pumped about it.
The PCB pretty much just makes the pin layout on the Teensy 3.1 more convenient for connecting servos and so on. It also has some sensors. L3GD20 gyroscopes, LSM303 accelerometers/magnetometers and a LPS331 baro pressure sensor as well.
The board is a 4 channel flight controller. It has pins for four PWM inputs and four servos. It could be modified to read PPM, in which case you could have 1 pin for inputs and 7 pins for servos. It also 'breaks out' all of the UARTs. One is for the radio datalink. Another is for the GPS. The third is used only for debugging at the moment. There is also a connector for additional I2C devices.
The software for it is the Firetail UAV software, which has been an ongoing project of mine. The software has been tested extensively in the FlightGear flight sim, as well as on real RC planes, and I'm quite certain it's ready to 'released' or whatever. Basically I feel that now, the software is unlikely to be the cause of a crash.
The project website is www.firetailuav.com
Anyway, cheers guys for the excellent Teensy little board.
