PlaneBrain Avionics System

← Home

A side project for ensuring fixed-wing aerodynamic stability that eventually evolved into an actual project.

Electronics

Schematic & PCB Design (KiCad)

Designed the avionics system schematic and PCB layout in KiCad, focusing on signal integrity, power regulation, sensor integration, and modular expandability.

Assembly & Testing

Hand-assembled prototype boards and validated functionality through multimeter probing, oscilloscope checks, and subsystem-level testing of sensors and communication buses.

Physical Build

Integrated the avionics system into a compact housing, routing wiring for robustness and ensuring vibration resistance suitable for airborne platforms.

Software

Basic Attitude Hold Algorithm

Developed a stabilization algorithm for a flying-wing UAV to counter Dutch roll, using IMU feedback and closed-loop control to improve directional and roll stability.

In-Progress Flight Controller

Currently developing a full-featured flight control system including sensor fusion, state estimation, control loops, and telemetry handling for autonomous operation.
