Last week I participated with the MAVLab team from TU Delft at the International Micro Aerial Vehicle Conference and Flight Competition. The awarded points increased exponentially for smaller sized drones. Therefore we participated in two mission elements with a CX-10, … Read More »
The goal is to control the CX-10 (without custom firmware) from a computer. This is accomplished by connecting some wires from the transmitter to an Arduino. The potentiometers are removed from the transmitter and replaced by wires which connect to … Read More »
In a previous post it was already shown how to setup Eclipse for debugging STM32 applications. However, since I’m a big fan of QtCreator IDE, I figured out how to set it up in this as well. This does not … Read More »
To program the CX-10 with CMSIS and STM32 Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), the same hardware preparations are required. Installing Eclipse and GNU ARM development extension Follow the steps from this link: http://gnuarmeclipse.livius.net/blog/plugins-install/ Create a new project for CX-10 development Go … Read More »
As with all embedded systems, getting to blinky is the first thing you want. Please refer to the previous post on preparing the hardware to have a programmable setup with the flash memory of the processor cleared. Libopencm3 Most of … Read More »
The general steps are as follows: Solder wires to the board. Configure the STLink of the Discovery board. Apply external power to the Vdd pin of the SWD. Clear flash memory of the chip. The following items are required: CX-10 … Read More »
