Paparazzi UAS  v7.0_unstable
Paparazzi is a free software Unmanned Aircraft System.
wind_estimator module

Wind Estimator.

Using an UKF filter generated by MATLAB running in a ChibiOS thread Original Simulink files available at https://github.com/enacuavlab/UKF_Wind_Estimation Requires:

  • IMU for inertial data (rates and accel)
  • GPS for ground speed vector
  • magnetometer for true heading
  • pitot for airspeed norm
  • angle of attack probe (better and faster estimate of vertical component

Example for airframe file

Add to your firmware section:

<module name="wind_estimator"/>

Module functions

Init Functions

These initialization functions are called once on startup.

Event Functions

These event functions are called in each cycle of the module event loop.

Periodic Functions

These functions are called periodically at the specified frequency from the module periodic loop.
