How are embedded industrial computers used in UAV ground workstations? Everyone may not know much about UAVs, but they are generally used in government forces, including remote controls, computers, video monitors, power systems, and digital radios. And other equipment composition. The computer is equipped with flight control software, which can plan the flight route of the UAV, and set the flight altitude, flight speed, flight location, flight mission, etc. The mission data is compiled and transmitted to the UAV's flight control system through the digital radio. Realize the control of the drone. The digital radio is a main tool for the communication between the drone and the ground station. The tasks of the computer to the drone, the drone's real-time flight altitude, speed and other data are all transmitted through it, so as to monitor the aircraft in real time and modify it as needed. Aircraft heading.
The working principle of the UAV flight control system is: turn on the ground station, plan the route, turn on the flight control system, upload the route to the flight control system, and set the automatic take-off and landing parameters, such as the ground speed, head-up angle, and climb height during take-off. End Height, circling radius or diameter, etc., and then check for errors and alarms in the flight control, and then complete the process of take-off, air flight, mission execution, and return to the field. As the control center of the entire UAV system, the ground station includes: the flight process of the aircraft, the flight track, the mission function of the payload, the normal operation of the communication link, and the launch and recovery of the aircraft. To achieve various flight attitudes and actions, as well as to complete various shooting tasks, the UAV cannot do without the strong support of the ground station control system. Therefore, to ensure the reliability of UAV flight, in addition to the reliable quality of the UAV itself, the reliability of the ground station control system is also very important. In the choice of computer hardware for the ground station control system, an embedded industrial computer hardware product with higher reliability and safety should be selected. The ground station is mainly used outdoors, and the environmental conditions are more complicated. The embedded industrial computer is required to be convenient to carry and move, and has the characteristics of waterproof, dustproof, and vibration-proof. According to the working characteristics of the drone, the embedded industrial computer is required to have the functions of image display, image storage, and audio and video transmission.
At present, most UAV ground stations use RC joystick remote controllers as the main means of operating UAVs, and tablets or laptops are used as display platforms for UAVs to return real-time images. As a result, there are deficiencies such as complicated operations, single-use PC functions, and poor portability. Compared with the traditional UAV operation method, Touch Idea vigorously promotes the control terminal equipped with flight control software in the industrial tablet computer to replace the tedious joystick operation, and realize the integration of UAV image data transmission and control work.
