UAV Code Development with Simulink for Student Competitions

Overview

Join us for this webinar and learn how to develop and deploy UAV code using Simulink for Pixhawk Flight Controllers and Flight Computers, including Raspberry Pi and Jetson GPUs. This session will also cover the integration and testing of these systems, equipping you with the skills needed to excel in student aerospace competitions.

Highlights

In this webinar, you will learn how to develop and deploy code for UAVs and test it in a virtual environment. We will focus on the following topics during the webinar:

• Code generation and deployment on Pixhawk Flight Controllers

• CUDA code generation and deployment for Jetson GPUs as a Flight Computer

• Integration and testing of Flight Controller and Flight Computer codes in a given scenario
