Hi,
For my UAV projects my wish list goes somewhat like this:
- an inclinometer
- a GPS unit
I guess those two are the absolute minimum needed to guide a plane.
- pressure sensores (2?)
- compass
- accelerometers (2?)
- PWM outputs (lots)
- A control unit capable of receiving those inputs and running intelligent
enough software to take decisions (according to a pre-established plan --
waypoints or interactively)
- A radio unit capable of operating reasonably long distances without
spending the whole energy budget and still offering a good enough data rate
to use interactive control, as needed
- a digital camera
- a storage device
I was planning to solve the control, PWM and storage with the robostix I
mentioned previously, but as I plant to build at least two more ships, I'm in
the market for more hardware :)
If this «laundry list» gives you any ideas, let us know :)
Regards.
