This project provides hardware and software to create a Sensor System for Glider Flight-Management-Systems like XCsoar.
- The documentation starting point is here: https://github.com/larus-breeze/doc_larus
- 57mm display unit. With transflective 2" display, STM32H7 and Rust firmware.
https://github.com/larus-breeze/hw_sensor, https://github.com/larus-breeze/sw_sensor Sensor hardware containing an IMU, pressure sensors and a (D-)GNSS The sensor firmware is providing essential information for glider navigation like
- position,
- attitude and heading AHRS Heading in DGNSS Version via satellite
- GNSS/INS-based ultra-fast variometer,
- real-time wind measurement,
- air-density measurement
- worldwide automatic adaption to the local magnetic field parameters using NOAA data.
Software-In-The-Loop (SIL)-Simulator to test and qualify algorithms
Some more details about the features can be found under algorithms.
The sensor can also be used as a universal data-logger for manned or UAV test flights with a sampling-rate of 100 Hz. The logger writes it's data to a micro-sd with a virtually unlimited capacity. The Frontend is connected via a CAN bus.
Fully assembled unit with single GNSS
