Community

The RB Avionics is a complete avionics project which is supported by a huge community worldwide, read the Wiki and if you need support join the Discord channel.

How to

We strongly suggest to install binaries, that are built from building-machine which enrich and check the output. Anyway if you are brave enough and you are well trained, you can built it yourself by following this procedure:

  4. Advanced Attitude Indicator
  5. Altimeter with QNH settings
  6. Altimeter digital with GPS Altimeter comparation
  7. Slip & Turn with degree indicator
  8. Gyro based on Gyroscope assisted with GPS Track
  9. GPS Map based on BMP Tiles, you can load your map MapBox in the SDCard
  10. Variometer
  11. G-Meter with Max-Negative stored
  12. Timers: up to 3 timers with GPS UTC Clock
  13. Checklist loaded from SDCard

Video

Flasher setup

  • chip esp32s3
  • flash_mode dio
  • flash_size 16MB
  • 0x0 bootloader.bin
  • 0x10000 Application Binary
