Hi,
Building a 6-wheeled rocker-bogie vehicle that Ben posted back in September (http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/introducing-the-nomad-working-title?xg_source=activity).
I'm new to land ROVs and wanted to know if APM or Pixhawk and the code support

A few points to bring up that I have concerns with dealing with my M8N antenna.

Purchased my second Pixhawk for another project and ran into a snag. I purchased a Spektrum AR8000 rx and paired it to my radio. I then connected it to the PPM and wiring bundle exactly as I have for my other UAV (Y6). I also connected it
Just a thought. When I review my tlog or my APM log I notice the time is related to zero and marches out to the right in time in seconds. Although this is nice I would like to see times in the time zone you are flying in with Date and Time (HH:MM:S

Read more…Hi All,
I'm on a new adventure to research a possible Brushless Gimbal stabilized platform and controller for my 3D Robotic Hexa-C copter. There seems to be a lot to absorb with respect to the best bang for your buck.
I did find a outfit in Europe tha

The copter was ordered with a pitch controlled servo platform and the the intermediate cable (red, whi

Just purchased a ready-to-fly 3DR Hexa-C and installed drivers, downloaded and installed MissionPlanner-1.2.48 software. Followed instructions to uploaded 2.9.1b firmware first before even thinking of selecting Connect button.
Oh ya, I
