SpaceFish autopilot, first candidate

After checking all our software and hardware in the first autopilot with our little Cessna, we finished the first autopilot autopilot for the SpaceFish.

This new autopilot generation weights 250gr. and its dimensions are 70x70x90mm and it is suitable to be enclosed in the final design of the electronic box for testing. This new version  is more powerful, it counts with two microprocessors instead one, working in parallel. They provide an extra-security as well more processor capacity as we need more computational requirements from our attitude estimator and navigation system. Also it has new sensors, like the three axis wind-speed.

Now we want to present to you our new toy to test the autopilot in ground. It is like a stewart platform, providing us three degrees of freedom with feedback.
