firmware and hardware for an autonomous five holes 3D pitot tube

SMARTPROBE PITOT3D device

Smartprobe is an autonomous pitot3d tube that is designed to be mount on a drone. It records relative wind speed and angle, store it on sdcard, and stream data on a serial line. If a gps or an autopilot give furnish it gps positions, it can calculate on board wind in a terrestrial reference frame.

Dependancies installation

cross compilation and perl library for the boardGen.pl tool :

sudo apt install build-essential gcc-arm-none-eabi gdb-multiarch \
         default-jre libmodern-perl-perl \
	 libxml-libxml-perl libfile-which-perl \
	 dfu-util
	 
sudo cpan -i String/LCSS.pm

to use bmpflash whien flashing with a black magic probe or criquet probe

sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER

optionnal : stm32cubemx install from stmicroelectronics website:

https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubemx.html (boardGen.pl script need xml MCU description files) If stm32cubemx is not found, a pregenerated board.h is used, you won't be able to modify pin assignation

clone of github repository and submodules :

git clone --recursive https://github.com/alex31/smartprobe.git
cd smartprobe
git submodule update --init --recursive

build firmware in release mode

make clean; make BUILD=SIZE

flash firmware in release mode

In dfu mode : plug micro-usb cable (no need to power supply)

make BUILD=SIZE dfuflash

In swd mode : plug swd cable (need to power supply smartprobe)

make BUILD=SIZE flash
