Controller re-configurable UAV - Video

Tutorial Description
This is a platform that we are testing our new avionics hardware and software on that allows a user to upload a Simulink controller to the in-flight UAV avionics hardware, instantaneously switch between the running controller and the newly uploaded one without interruption, and then tune the new controller in-flight. This specific almost-lighter-than-air vehicle (ALTAV) platform has some disadvantages, but some very strong niche advantages such as cost, power consumption, repair-ability, safety, low visual footprint when using clear material and many others.

Tutorial Description
For the most part the hardware portion of the project is complete. It consists of two servo motors, a couple gears, and a Parallax Basic Stamp 2. The basic stamp is what controls the servos. The laptop will be running MatLab with the Image Processing/Acquisition toolbox. The laptop will utilize the built in web cam for vision. Matlab will be used to take a picture and process/segment the images to locate the target. The coordinates will then be calculated using Matlab and sent to the Basic stamp to position the servos. Additionally, Matlab will also send commands to fire.
