MIPFly

MIPFly One

MIPFly One is a flight instrument born from the combined love of flight and electronics. It was designed with openess and expandability in mind, as one instrument for a large range of pilots.

The main platform of the variometer runs Linux so that further development on the device to be facile. This feature also enable us or anyone else who wants to contribute or to modify his/hers instrument to easily add new features. FULL SIZE USB ports adds a lot of hardware expandability possibility to the device, preflight or inflight, without the need to use a fragile microusb port.

The 4.4" screen readability of the device is incredible. Literary we spared no expenses on this part of the instrument. No compromise. You can keep the instrument with the sun directly reflecting into your eyes and still be able to read from it. Also the refresh rate of the screen is pretty good at 20 fps together with a wide range of working temperatures.

The sensor system on the device consists of two separate sub modules. One is the GPS system comprising of a high precision Ublox M8N receiver commonly used on drones because of it's performances together with a high sensitivity patch antenna. The second sub module is the real time pressure and sensor fusion system responsible for the vertical speed measurement, filtering and approximation by sensor fusion.

Hardware

• Alwinner A20 dualcore microprocessor running at ~1GHz/core.
• Ublox M8N GPS receiver with ceramic patch antenna.
• High prescission pressure sensor + accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer for instant vario function.
• Integrated Bluetooth module is standard package
• Possibility to upgrade to bluetooth and WIFI options true internal USB port.
• External full size USB for IO expansion and data synchronisation on any USB memory stick.
• The device can also act as a charger even when the variometer is turned off.
• 6800 mAh battery for extended flight times.
• 240x320 monochrome LCD with high framerate and extremely good sunlight readability.
• Screen diagonal size is 4.4", 89.6 × 67.2mm (true viewing area)

VarioQt

VarioQt is the backbone application for the MipFly vario. It is written in C++ with the help of the QT framework and, most importantly, it will be released under an open source license upon the official product launch.

Current development is done using the feedback provided by the pilots flying the demo units and by the pilots who already bought the limited edition development kits.

General interface features

• User definable pages
• Configurable graphical elements (size, position, zoom level etc.)
• Multi lingual interface
• Customizable audio alerts
• Black on white or white on black user interface
• UNDER DEVELOPMENT - Grandpa style (simple mode, big widgets) user interface for easy usage by casual pilots

Variometer/Altimeter features

• Dual high precision pressure sensor interlaced reading for high precision and high rate of response to vertical speed
• Selectable instant vario function using accelerometer
• Configurable vario digital filter and integration values for analog and digital (average) vario
• Fully configurable Vario Sound (frequency, increments, frequency/vertical speed relation,...)
• Square wave or sine wave tone
• Multiple independent altimeters (QNH, GPS, AGL, difference from takeoff etc.)
• Worldwide altitude data for AGL calculation

Maps & 3D Airspace

• Detailed maps representing woods, settlements + names and water surfaces for better orientation
• Two levels of zoom for graphical maps
• Compatible with Open Air format (copy required airspace to SD and select it from the menu)
• Graphical representation of the airspace map and name of violated airspace
• Configurable warning distances for vertical and horizontal airspace distance
• List containing near and violated airspaces (AGL defined airspaces are considered violated based only on horizontal positioning)

Cross country features

• Extremely precise and prompt wind algorithm (no spiraling required)
• Intuitive and large wind direction indication
• Distance and direction to last thermal
• Intuitive thermal graph for centering aid
• Distance and angle from takeoff
• Glide ratio indicator

Memory Features

• 3D flight logger IGC format
• Practically more memory for flights that anyone can use in a lifetime

Task navigation

• Intuitive and easy to use task interface
• Task optimisation and waypoint data aproximation algorithm
• Waypoint navigation for freeflight
• Easy waypoint importing in GPSDump format

Under development

• FAI triangle assistant
• Many other features that we or our users will consider as a nice addition

MipBip Family

Our MipBip device concentrates a lot of power in a small form factor. The vertical speed sensing technology is based on the lessons learned from the One, it’s bigger brother, incorporating a high precision pressure sensor together with a precise and fast inertial measurement system.

The new MipBip+ also features a Bluetooth connection. This enables easier connectivity to a wide range of devices.

The combination of the rechargeable battery and solar cell provides up to 200h of flight time. Solar charging between flights or while waiting to takeoff extends the autonomy indefinitely. Recharge via a micro USB connector is also possible.

Additionally, the MipBip can work as a data link providing telemetry data to a phone or tablet via the USB cable.

General info

• Only 27 grams
• 72X38X14 mm
• Suitable for hike-and-fly or backup variometer
• Can be paired with a smartphone or tablet to be used as a main flight instrument
• Rechargeable + solar powered
• Multiple colors available to fit everyone's style

Variometer/Altimeter features

• High precision MS5611 pressure sensor
• Instant vario function using accelerometer
• Fully configurable Vario Sound (frequency, duty, cycle time to speed relation,...)
• Sound configuration using the web interface
• Height and vertical speed data are shared via the USB connection

Downloads

Deploy files are not used anymore since the update can be automatically done from the VarioQt menu.
