When the Maple was released, and to date, it is relativley difficult for Windows users to get started. Thus to make things a bit it a bit easier a job was created to automatically fetch the latest code, build it, zip the build and upload the resulting file.

This is an unofficial build!

Since moving to FreeRTOS Renoster's control system lost the use of Timer1 thus the ability to control 4 servos using PWM. After some scouring on the net using a 4017 decade counter seem to be the solution to get that functionality back.

Renoster requires a fairly integrate control system, with several tasks required to run almost simultaneously, e.g. position calculation, way point tracking, mapping etc. and others need to be able to interrupt those in the event of possible danger, e.g. collision detection, tilt detection etc. A preemptive multitasking OS such as FreeRTOS provides all these features.
