Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) In terms of structure: Most quadrotor aircraft on the market adopt an integrated structure. Although this design is convenient for mass production and aesthetically pleasing, it cannot meet the requirements of the majority of quadrotor professional users for the modular disassembly of the aircraft body. When a module on the circuit is damaged, it is often necessary to replace the entire control circuit or drive circuit, which is too expensive for the user to replace, and also causes unnecessary waste;
[0005] (2) In terms of control chips: most of the flight control chips on the market use foreign 16-bit and 32-bit single-chip microcomputers. The high cost also makes the domestic flight control chip market sluggish for a long time

Embodiment 1

[0029] The modular control method for quadrotor aircraft involved in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0030] (1) The power supply and the voltage stabilizing circuit 4 provide suitable power for the normal operation of each module of the control board. After the control board is powered on, each module is initialized and interrupted. If a calibration signal is received at this time, the gyroscope 3 is cleared. Otherwise, the main control module 1 receives the data from the gyroscope module 3 and performs Kalman filtering, uses the quaternion to calculate the inclination angle to obtain the current attitude of the quadrotor aircraft, and applies the flight control method of the quadrotor aircraft based on the digital PID algorithm (that is, the ratio- Integral-derivative control), by selecting the control gain to make the system realize the desired performance, the parameters of the quadrotor aircraft are adjusted by the host computer software to obta...

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle control, and relates to a control method, in particular to a modular control method suitable for quadrotor aircraft. Features such as real-time adjustment. Background technique: [0002] Quadrotor aircraft is a six-degree-of-freedom vertical take-off and landing aircraft that can accomplish tasks that fixed-wing aircraft cannot accomplish, such as hovering, low-speed flight, vertical take-off and landing, and indoor flight. For aircraft, the relative quadrotors have the same rotation direction. Compared with traditional helicopters, it has the advantages of simple structure and control, low manufacturing precision requirements, good stability, and weak gyro effect. , traffic management, forest fire prevention, urban patrol and other fields have broad application prospects, and become an international research hotspot. The prerequisite for the quadrotor aircraft to achieve stable...
