Hello everyone,
I want to build an autopilot system for UAVs. Basically, turning big RC planes into autonomous flying machines. I'd need to have a ground control station too. I have a degree in Aerospace Engineering (MEng) and have been interested in learning more about electronics and programming ever since I did my final year project. There have been a lot of issues keeping me from pursuing this dream, long story short, I want to do it starting from now.
I figured that I'll need to learn about embedded systems/electronics and programming for this project. I don't need to have my Autopilot system ready by next month, so I am fine with learning and doing practical works to build up the skills needed. My target is to have at least the prototype of the system ready 3-5 years from now.
If you have the know hows, will you be willing to help/guide me? I am making a list of topics and things I have to study and work with. You can help me by telling me about things I should consider studying and if possible, link me to online resources (pdfs, books, forums, videos,etc) which will help me out.
Thanks
