A wireless data acquisition system for detecting the flight status of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Abstract

This paper designs a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) wireless data acquisition system, which consists of a UAV surface signal acquisition subsystem and a ground data processing subsystem. The system can continuously measure air pressure, acceleration, temperature and other signals of the UAV surface in real time. These signals are sent to the ground base station by wireless or cable transmission for further process. Then both the original signals data and the processed signals data will be stored at the ground base station. This system mainly adopts STM32F103 as microcontroller and XBee-PRO 900HP as wireless transmission module. Experiments show that the system meets the requirements of accurate, real-time, continuously and long-time monitoring of UAV surface signals.
