Re: [Paparazzi-devel] On Screen Display (Reto Buettner)

Since we are talking on redundancy. Is there any way to have a sorte of an watchdog board that will change to an independent manual control of the aircraft if any paparazzy board crash was detected? Some kind of a relay/switch?

Hi Vladimir,

the effectivity of redundancy measures depend very much on the failure
mode. If the main Paparazzi board completely fails, you are right.
Then the plane is not steerable anymore, neither autonomously nor
manually and the plane crashes. The main Paparazzi board is a very
hard to avoid single point of failure. But if the main paparazzi board
only fails partially (e.g. autonomous control loops not working
properly anymore), only the GPS, the IR sensors/IMU/INS/AHRS or the
serial data link fail, then the redundancy using FPV and a separate
OSD will save your aircraft.

Cheers, Reto
