Any notes in the station equipment list take precedance over specifications here.

MPU-9250 (12 in lab)

  • SDA: JD1 (JD1_P)
  • SCL: JD2 (JD1_N)

RF Board (3 + parts for more)

  • PPM Signal from Zedboard: JA1
  • RF Reset (active-low): JA2
  • The board will not attempt to bind until it has a safe throttle level from PPM.

PmodUSBUART (4 in lab)

PmodRS232 (2 in lab)

  • Re-wired with jumpers to have the pinout of PmodUSBUART for MP-4
  • Reference Manual

Pmod Pinout (differential numbering)

Be careful to mind which side is pin1. The Vcc/gnd lines are a good way to check.

PmodMIC3 (6 in lab)

PmodMIC (1 in lab)

PmodTPH2 (>= 6 in lab)

PicoScope with Digital Probes (16ch + 2 analog)

We have 4 in lab

PicoScope without Digital Probes (2 analog)

We have 12 in lab

Quadcopter (many)

  • A quad attached to a power supply. Must be bound to an RF board for use.
  • The power supplies can be controlled as directed in the "Controllable Power Supply" section below.

USB Webcam

  • Unless otherwise specified, this will be looking down at the board watching a quadcopter on a rotary stand.

Controllable Power Supply
