Hey everyone!
I am working on a project to build a robot that could control it's orientation while being thrown into the air (the robot is a small cube). The robot uses 3 reaction wheels to orient it's self mid-air.
I am currently using a IMU and a Raspberry Pi 3 to process data and control the robot's reaction wheels. But my brother told me I could use an hobby drone autopilot device and modify it to control the 3 reaction wheels instead of 4 propellers.
Do any of you know if it would be possible to do that? and if yes which autopilot device has a flexible enough software to modify it according to my needs.
Butterflight seems like a good option but I want to know you guys's take on it.
If not I will keep using my Raspberry Pi and look for some good Python libraries!
Thanks!
