Larus Flight Information Data System for Gliders

This project provides hardware and software to create a Data-Acquisition and Presentation System for Gliders including data output to Flight Management Systems like XCsoar.

Overview

Frontend

  • 57mm display unit. With transflective 2" display, STM32H7 and Rust firmware. Frontend New Units Frontend New Units

Sensor

https://github.com/larus-breeze/hw_sensor, https://github.com/larus-breeze/sw_sensor Sensor hardware containing an IMU, pressure sensors and a (D-)GNSS The sensor firmware is providing essential information for glider navigation like

  • position,
  • AHRS = attitude including true heading, optionally with D-GNSS satellite-based heading
  • GNSS/INS-based ultra-fast variometer,
  • real-time wind measurement,
  • air-density measurement
  • worldwide automatic adaption to the local magnetic induction parameters using NOAA data.
  • coming soon: 3D high precision calibration for the compass sensor

Automatic in-flight compass sensor calibration:

Software-In-The-Loop (SIL)-Simulator to test and qualify algorithms

Some more details about the features can be found under algorithms.

The sensor unit can also be used as a universal data logger for manned or UAV test flights with a sampling-rate of 100 Hz. The logger writes it's data to a micro-sd with a virtually unlimited capacity. The Larus avionics system is connected via a CAN bus.
