Drone project

This project is intended to be a rather simple core drone stabilizer application based on Teensy and the prop shield.

Intended to be expanded with an outer control loop with a non-realtime sensor, e.g. GNSS, camera or laser scanner.

Build on a hand-wired PCB as a prototype

-== MATLAB simulation ==
-Once the drone hardware (mass, configuration, motor and propeller) is known, then it can be simulated in Matlab simulink.
-The script in the doc/matlab directory has scrips for the simulation and estimating a linear transfer function in an operating point and calculate the needed controller parameters (roll, pitch, yaw - velocity and position as well as height control).
-Further controllers for lateral velocity are added too, but these last controllers are not included in the drone firmware.
