@Randy,

I just retired from Raytheon in TX and moved to my retirement home in Davie Florida and fully intended to continue working on my Traxxas E-Maxx ArduRover, but the wife still has me doing "honey dos" so no progress yet. I hope to work on my rover this weekend and start some meaningful dialogue here on our user group.

Regards,

TCIII

Good day,

Where is all the activity in this user group? I just joined recently and was looking forward to some interesting topics, brain-shattering discussions and wild opinions.

Do we have competitions to test our prowess?

I'm buliding a quadcopter and I do have an "Ardurover" currently in development (Lawn mower - tired of cutting my lawn) My "lawn mower" is waiting for the APM2.

I'm still learning.

 

Randy

I would be great of my Ardurover could follow me like my Mikrokopter does.  I basically want a little toolbox that follows me rathering than having to carry the thing from to car to the flying field.  I've got 6WD Wild Thumper which seems to be able to carry a small load.  Any ideas on how to do follow me with Ardurover?

@Jimmie,

Nice to have you aboard as #40. Too bad we are not all 30 again.

Hello all. Looks like I made it #40.I have not been 40 in 30.

Built a tracked vehicle and used a BS2 to control it. Autonomous of course. No GPS. Ultrasonic, IR, and Tactile. Later I purchased some vision software but never got around to using it. Now I am interested in using the APM with mission planner on a RC Boat and a new rover I am starting to design.

Hi All,

We are continuing to grow as a Group. Almost 30 members!

Yeah, I hear you!

A lot of stuff going together to make an autonomous 'bot. 

I'm building a 'bot for Robomagellan, and I'd like to have it going by next April so that it can compete in the next Robogames here on the CA coast!

Hard part is deciding when to stop adding stuff; I'm hoping to put a LiDAR on.  And I'm building my own mechanics using just the Traxxas wheels and suspension parts.  Skid-steer, with two PWM driven DC servo motors.

A LOT of information, trick is finding it all and digesting it.

dont worry i am trying to let my airplane fly autonomously for almost 2 years now ;)

i use apmrover to get all the needed things together first and sort the common mistakes out.

im new into rc planes and vehicles. only made a few simple arduino projects at home before someone send me a link to diydrones.com ;)

im very encouraged to get my plane in the air soon since the rover works well.

have just so much fun with my toys and i can dig into the code now to make my ideas reality should work also for you :)

i think i can benefit from reading through the most of the arduplane documentation wiki, there is alot information on almost every topic you may stumble on.

have fun!

Hi Linus,

Thanks for the link! 

Looks like I'm not quite ready for all of that yet.  But it's nice to know it can be done.

Hi Alan,

uhh, i think the connection between HIL-plugin for aerosmrc and apm planner works with UDP connection, i have no clue if it will work with phoenix.

must say that i am not an expert nor a developer.

maybe this link is more useful
