一个包的文档和软件支持金宝appMATLAB/Simulink based dynamic modeling and simulation of quadcopter vehicles for control system design.
IMPORTANT: Not tested on MATLAB/Simulink beyond 2013a! The 2014b release appears to cause issues with the animation function and may cause other as of yet other undiscovered issues. Please share bugs with the author via email and be sure to specify the OS and version of MATLAB/Simulink being used. Users are encouraged to run these files on MATLAB 2013a if possible.

Hi David,

My name is Michael Janicki and I am building a quadcopter with my capstone team at the University of Washington in the Mechanical Engineering department. I am trying to get your simulation to work but I am not sure what the "block" parameter is in the "quadcopterDynamicsSFunction.mat" and I was hoping you could shed some light on this.

Thank you very much!
Michael

Hello
i need to your detias dynamics difranciel
please if possible , send me this file

thank you

hello
i think there is something wrong in the PC-Quadcopter

if u give the quadcopter a path to move in x-direction only it suppose to make an angle theta and hold it until it stop but thats not whats happening here if y make the trajectory move in x direction only u will find that the controller give a command to make an angle for just one second and then it return to zero again although u will find that the quad is still moving in the x-direction without any angle theta.
and thats weird becuase it suppose to do an angle in order to be able to move in that direction.
plz if any body can help me with this??

No v1.2 package can be downloaded?

I would like to deploy your controller on a Beaglebone black computer. Any suggestions on addtional hardware would be great.

I had some errors while running the GUI_Modeling
Any suggestions?

Hey David,

Your teams work is really amazing. I myself have been working on a quadcopter since September and I am using a Beaglebone Black.

The material you have provided in this package is extensive and golden. Shall get back to you soon. Thank You.

Hello,
This is a great project and excellent work...
My partner Kassem Dabaje sent an email today concerning a question. I just want to make sure it will be seen.
谢谢你!

This is a great work.

Hello Karuna,
Unfortunately the "perfect" one-stop resource for quadrotor vehicle dynamics hasn't turned up in my research yet. Different authors choose to model different effects, and between notation ambiguities and other issues it can be hard to compare different models to one another. At some point I hope to find time to update the documentation included with this download so that it can at least be a more complete and reliable resource. Till then, have a look at the various documents and books listed in the "Bibliography" included with the Quad-Sim download, many of which I found useful.
However, note that as you are a self-proclaimed "hobbyist," some of the documents may get into details that exceed your level of interest.

One of the most relevant resources mentioned in the Bibliography I provided is a paper which uses VERY different notation to what I used:
R. Mahony, V. Kumar, and P. Corke, “Multirotor Aerial Vehicles: Modeling, Estimation, and Control of a Quadrotor,” in IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine, vol. 19, Sept. 2012, pp. 20-32
(I think this paper can be found for free online, but I am not sure)

Good luck, and check back once in a while if you have interest, I may get around to making some substantial documentation upgrades, particularly in the area of mathematical modeling documentation.

Hello david, amazing work, and thanks for uploading model.

Can you let me know, the reference or documentation for modelling and control of quadrotor. If you have any link please share it. It would be helpful for the hobbyist like me.
