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)

Your directory should be arkscicos/projects/quadrotor since this currently set as the default in the scilab.ini file. To start the pixhawk example type:

exec pixhawkLinearAnalysis.sce

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