AN177 Kixrazor revision 2.0 with AeroSimRC plugin

Hi all,

please find revision 2.0 of the Kixrazor SW attached.
It is based on 1.2 with Adrian Jansen as coauthor.

The changes are

(a) Adrian's ASM kixencoding

(b) Option for timer based interrupts for those who think that equidistant ADC sampling is better than "let it flow". I don't see a difference here.

(c) Two phases with 2 sets of PID parameters: Phase I is the phase where the omega_i vector is filled instead of doing (and keeping) analog offsets as constant quantities. Viz autotrimming. Phase II is for the air (assuming PID for a "gentle" 4m-glider). One can select whether one wants output for both phases or only for phase II.

(d) Moving average option (not really needed).

(e) PID parameters more following Adrians philosophy, viz more "smooth"/less noisy. BUT: Do the best to shield mechanical vibrations, magnetic AND electrical interference.

The archive contains Bascom code as well as the respective binary files (for those using Atmel's AVRStudio from Arduino or WinAVR). Short sample Bascom code for Dekixing is also contained.

Please find also the latest revision of the Kixplugin DLL for AerosimRC attached. Kixstation doesn't need the dongle to operate longer than 2 minutes. It can be used to visualize the output.

Regards,
Natalius
