# ENCE361 Helicopter Rig Controller
A real-time kernel and interrupt-driven embedded-C program for remotely accessing and
controlling the state, orientation and operation of a model helicopter using
* PWM motor control
* ADC sensor inputs
* quadrature decoding for rotor position tracking
* round-robin task management scheduling
* state machine logic
* multi-channel PID for stability control
* UART communication
* OLED display for real-time data
* timer-based operations
* de-bouncing for reliable input data
* infrared distance sensor for obstacle detection
A model helicopter can be controlled to perform varying operations and aerial manoeuvres, such as
- ignition, idling, vertical lift-off, hovering, landing and powering down
- ascending and descending to any altitude within a specified ground-ceiling range
- yaw rotating 360° to any referenced point in either clockwise or counter-clockwise direction
