Resumo

This paper presents a hardware-in-the-loop simulation environment for testing of control strategies for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Tilt-rotor configuration. This proposal consists of a distributed system composed by a general purpose computer, that runs the Gazebo simulator, and a stm32f4 discovery development board, that executes the control strategy. For instrumentation and reference data transfer it was developed a serial communication protocol that includes an error-detecting method for serial transmissions, which uses a checksum for accidental change detection in data transfer chains. Besides, it was created a dynamic library in order to provide an external channel with Gazebo Simulator to allow interaction between simulation and embedded system. Also it was designed a trajectory creator program to select the reference points to be reached by the control strategy, being either automatically or manually via joystick. Finally, the system is validated through simulation of a Tilt-rotor UAV being controlled by a DLQR strategy.
