My student needs to implement his design (disturbance based controller) on a quadcopter that we did not have it yet. Anyone that can leads us to a specific one?
Features 1. The 6D-Box starter kit is designed for beginner hobbyists to learn about aircraft model and flight operations, based on Arduino and MultiWii (MWC) code. 2. Included a user manual in PDF, detailed code debugging explanation and technical support. 3. 6D-BOX weight: 45.8g; 8min flight time. 4. Suitable for any receiver of 4-7channels with PWM signal, enabling various flight modes. 5. With a cool LED board dazzling at dark, and half-circle protective bumpers. http://www.robotshop.com/en/6d-box-arduino-quadcopter-diy-kit.html
My sugestion: KIT Frame F450,, with Arduino APM 2.8, Brushless 920 or 1000 KV, ESC 30A, GPS opitional. Is cheap and versatil. Supports multiple configurations. You can buy the components separately. I use it in this way
We have an indoor, research-based open-architecture quad-rotor system that allows you to use MATLAB/Simulink to design your own controllers: https://www.quanser.com/products/qball-2/
This system is designed for autonomous vehicle research and leverages MATLAB/Simulink through QUARC (our real-time control software). It makes it easy to modify/create and test your own controllers, such as the "disturbance based" one you mentioned above.
