The specs for the upcoming autopilot lists the 12 analog inputs. What is the maximum sample rate per channel for these inputs?
Actually, those analog inputs will be handled by the FPGA so that the processor does not have do deal with the overhead. As a result, we can acquire the samples at very high speed. As most applications don’t require high speed analog, our initial plan is to sample the channels at a few hundred Hz and square window filter them in the FPGA to get them at 50Hz. __________________ Auto-pilot Describe the Autopilot feature data storage. We have the SD memory card on our system for data recording, we can support up to 1GB of data on an SD card; transmitting the data to the ground in real time is not a reasonable option. Our autopilot is capable of recording its 12 channels of 12 bit (which equates to 0.025% accuracy) analog at 4kHz. A 1GB SD card gives more than 15 minutes of continuous recording.
