Project Source Code Releases

Below you will find all the source code and hardware diagrams (circuits/schematics) for the whole project.

Over time we hope to build this section into a full resource and history of everything we have done and everything we plan to do!

Future Releases

Version 0.3a - 28th January 2009

The 'Ant-Slave3' (and the the 'Ant-Master') project are almost complete and operational.

After the Master and one of the slave units are fully operational, then the project is into it's next stage - ie, post alpha code and into beta level!

When we finished in 'alpha code', this will be a big step for the project! We have already started our website archive of the alpha version of the project.

Latest Snapshots

All software releases below make use of Procyon AVRlib. The version we are using (and may possibily have amended) is availble here: avrlib.tar.bz2.

Version 0.3a - 26th January 2009

Previous versions have contained a small circuit diagram within the project source files. This version will have detailed schematics in PNG and Eagle data files.

The layout for this version has changed from v0.2a. This was done to allow for the use of the SPI pins (PB2-PB5) and to free the two adjacent ADC ports on Slave3 processor.

Full circuit schematics for the project can be found on the Hardware page.

An accociated software release to go with this cicuit will be made when have had time to test the new code.

Version 0.2a - 9th January 2009

We are pleased to announce our first milestone snapshot. This code introduces Servo/Motor control and the reading of the RC receiver. With this code you can plug the receiver and servos/motor into the circuit and then fly the heli as per normal (when the gyro switch is on).
Project Source Code: heli-ant_0.2a.tar.bz2.
NB: Please note the circuit show in project 'slave3' is not correct. The RC Input pins and Servo pins need to be swapped over.

Version 0.1a - 19th December 2008

The first release of our source code is available in the tarball of heli-ant_0.1a.tar.bz2. All linux versions should be able to handle a bz2 file; we will post instructions (and alternative achieve files after the project progresses a bit further.
