From the project

Microchip PIC32MX795F512L With uCOS RTOS and Accel Gyro driver port from arduino

Microchip PIC32MX795F512L With uCOS RTOS and Accel Gyro driver port from arduino

1. Install the xc32 compiler from microchip 2. Modify Makefile to point CC to the to where the compiler is located 3. type make

A binary (same as a .elf) and a .hex file will be placed in the BIN directory

In side Makefile, you can modify the DIRS variable to include new folders to compile.

Quad copter: common questions

What microcontroller does the Quad copter use?

The Quad copter is built around the LM22670TJE-ADJ/NOPB, from the PIC family.

How big is the Quad copter PCB?

The Quad copter measures 44.3 × 99.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Quad copter?

40 components, from 32 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Quad copter design files?

From the mtilson115/quad_copter repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Quad copter design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-2.0 license, which mtilson115 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Quad copter without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug PIC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
