Description:
This project aims to create a low cost open source UAV (Unmaned Air Vehicule).

The onboard hardware consists of a Pic MCU (microcontroller unit) and several 
sensors (GPS, pressure...). Code is written in assembly using GPASM 
(http://gputils.sourceforge.net). 
We are planning to test a linux handheld with 802.11 for higher level 
computations 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).

Code is not online, but i can mail you a copy 

regards

Antoine
