Hello,For the sake of better understanding APM guts I've been working on what I've been calling ArduGimbal. I've just assembled code together looking at Arducopter 2.5.5 for how to structure the…Continue

Comment by Jesus on April 24, 2013 at 1:26am Hello all,
I'm working in order to add a vision based navigation mode for the APM, using ROS and a C.O.M Odroid X2.
I already have implemented, the vision tracking with the camsifht algoritm, a server-client system in the odroid, and now, I've started with the mavlink-ros-pkg in order to add a dynamic waypoint. I'm going to estimate this waypoint with a vision based system, and introduce this waypoint with this ROS node in the mavlink message.
But I have two troubles, first one, is that I need to create a new flight mode to read this waypoint, the second one, is where can I add this waypoint in the mavlink message. Can you help me, please?
Comment by Marcelo Gomes on April 7, 2013 at 8:54pm Yes, Sergio.
APM will fly well in ANY plane or copter, if you set up it before, I mean, the PIDs for each aircraft. It's the .param file in arduplane.
For Bixler, skywalker, techpod, and many others aircraft these .param file are available at ardupilot wiki page, just download it and load through mission planner.
Good luck!

Comment by Ellison Chan on November 13, 2012 at 8:15am There's no real datasheet per se. But if you know how to read schematics, there are always the eagle files here. If you want the datasheets of the main processor, check out the Atmega2560 datasheet.

I'm curious what programming languages can be used to program the autopilots, stablizers, gps, etc.
Currently Learning Microsoft C++.
Francisc,
Yes, I believe that's the reason. From 2.7.4 onwards I don't think that will be necessary at least for quads, hexas and octacopters because we have a more intelligent "stability patch" that will reduce the throttle slightly if required to maintain roll, pitch and a very minimal amount of yaw control.
Comment by Francisc Bereczky on October 15, 2012 at 3:39am In AP_Motors.h line 31 I find
#define AP_MOTORS_DEFAULT_MAX_THROTTLE 850
What is the meaning of the value 850?
Is a limit to have 150 left for stabilise?
A few words please. Thanks.
Comment by Altaf on October 14, 2012 at 8:57pm Hi!! how do we use the user_hook fast loop for the arducopter ??
Season Two of the Trust Time Trial (T3) Contest has now begun. The fourth round is an accuracy round for multicopters, which requires contestants to fly a cube. The deadline is April 14th.24 members
