Description:
This project aimsto create a low cost open source fixed wing UAV (Unmaned Air 
Vehicule).
The airframe we are using is a small radio controlled foammy (multiplex 
twinstar).
The onboard hardware consists of a Pic MCU (microcontroller unit) and several 
sensors (GPS, pressure...) transmitting through a 1200bps FSK modem and a 
2.4GHz radio link. 
Code is written in assembly using GPASM (http://gputils.sourceforge.net).
 We are planning to test a linux handheld (ipaq) with 802.11 for higher 
levelcomputations and communications.
The ground station consist of a laptop running Gnu/Linux. For now we use RTTY 
(http://www.ele.uva.es/~jesus/rtty/rtty-2.0.html) for the downlink, but 802.11 
might remove this need.
We have a GUI written in GTK that displays the position of the plane on a map 
and the indications from the intruments.We have also developed code to deal 
with the GPS binary protocol (SIRF)
