# FlyeBot - The Flying EyeBot

FlyeBot uses an EyeBot controller together with a number of sensors to autonomously navigate a plane. All plane actuators are connected to a specially designed switch that allows to alternate (via remote control) between a standard model plane remote control and autonomous flying. That way, the critical actions take-off and landing can be performed manually, while for the flight between it can be switched to automatic mode. We rely on a GPS as most important sensor. A flight path can be specified by entering GPS way points that the plane will approach successively.

### Actuators used in the plane:

> - Switch box that transfers control of all plane servos either to remote control or automatic control
> - Standard servos for roll / pitch / yaw / motor speed
> - Lights on the fuselage underside to indicate the plane's internal mode (manual / automatic / error)

### Sensors used in the plane:

- GPS
- Digital Compass
- Gyroscope
