Pixhawk Quadrotor Example

The pixhawk quadrotor example resides in the arkscicos/projects/cheetah directory. Start scicoslab and load the toolbox as described here: arkscicos Scicoslab Toolbox

Type:

cd(arkscicosPath)
cd projects/cheetah

To start the pixhawk example type:

exec linearAnalysis.sce

This will show you the analysis that we've done so far on the design.

(This currently doesn't work because the data installs to a location that is not user-writable. You can try moving the projects folder to your home directory)

To see the scicoslab simulation type:

scicos pixhawk.cos

This will start scicos, the block diagram and simulation environment.

When scicos loads, click "Run" at the top of the diagram.
