I’m wondering if there is a manual or archival paper detailing the autopilot and navigation implementation? Even a controller block diagram will help.
If not, the autopilot (for fixed wing) is implemented in
/src/modules/fw_att_control/fw_att_control_main.cpp
/src/modules/fw_pos_control_l1/fw_pos_control_l1_main.cpp
am I right?
If you read the headers in those files you will find the reference to the paper.
Hi Lorenz,
I only found the reference for trajectory tracking in ecl_l1_pos_controller.h
However, I didn’t find any reference regarding the “inner loop” autopilot (ecl_pitch, ecl_roll, ecl_yaw etc). The only mention i found was Automatic Control of Aircraft and Missiles by John H. Blakelock, pg. 175.
Is the autopilot based on the design stated in this book?
