MicroCART

Microprocessor Controlled Aerial Robotics Team

Project Statement: "To create a modular platform for research in controls and embedded systems."

Since 1998, MicroCART has been building aerial robots. Currently, we are modifying a small off the shelf quad, The Crazyflie 2.1, to suit our lab environment where students explore embedded systems and control theory.

This year, MicroCART has 3 areas of development:

  • The quadcopter firmware
    • The quadcopter firmware is largely already written and supported well by Bitcraze, the creators of the Crazyflie. We are building on top of the stock firmware to introduce students to the code in a guided manner.
  • The ground station
    • The ground station is responsible for issuing important data to the quad (like manual control and stabilization parameters) and receiving data from the quad like battery level and orientation.
  • The test stand
    • The test stand is a new bit of kit designed to hold the Crazyflie while testing stabilization parameters. It is designed to limit the quad to one axis of rotation at a time to isolate testing.
