About Me:
I'm a retired electronics engineer living in Belgium. In the past flying both planes and helicopters, now again re-starting with fixed wing.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Pure out of interest, as I like to work with embedded SW and HW.

I'm trying to run ArduPlane in SITL on a native debian based Linux system (Ubuntu 16.04)In ArduCopter everything is working fine.I followed the very good tutorial in http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/setting-up-sitl-on-linux.htmlHowever the intended…
"I had/have simulair issues, therefore I took out the airspeed sensor and did some experiments on my testbench.
My test setup is as follows:MS4525DP airspeed sensor (tested 2 different suppliers)Modified pitot tube, no air leak.Arduino UNO with same…"

"Hi Nick,
The problem I have is an "Overshoot" in altitude during a decent. So going from a waypoint with an altitude of e.g. 10m to an waypoint with an alititude of 5m the mini-UAV goes as low as 3m after which it levels to 5m. It is an lineair…"

"Hi Nick,
A very nice achievement, well done. This proves the Mini Talon is a great plane and indeed Arduplilot is instrumental.
I'm also bussy with the Mini Talon, although yet still my lighter (only 3S 2200mAh) but I have problems in setting up…"

"The basical problem is an 40% overshoot at a decents, such as decent from 10m to 5m, in between the altitude goes as low as 3m.
Yesterday I tried changing the PTCH2SERV_D from 0.06 --> 0.02 --> 0.01, this had no noticable influence.
Today I tried…"

"Today I did some more experiments; I changed the PTCH2SERV_D from 0.06 --> 0.02. Unfortunate I could not do the same flight, but I tried to setup a simulair. Perhaps it helped a little, not sure.
What I notice is that going from one waypoint to…"

Flying in Auto mode my plane made nearly crashed in the ground making a right turn and decent.After waypoint 4 a right turn and decent from 20m to 5 m was requested, however the plane fall to 40cm (above ground), then plane corrected to the…
"The hb antenna is basically the coax from which I removed the shielding for L/4 165mm (so 300/433/4*.95), at the point where the shielding stops a soldered a wire of the same length. The antenna is taped on the tail of the plane and vertical…"
"Anton,
I have more or less the same setup as you and never experienced any issue; my setup is an Ebay 500mW 433 Telemetry module(s). My antenna however is an homebrew vertical dipole (very simulair as the picture of Tipu), with an ferrite around…"

"Marco, verrry interesting project !!, with a relative simple plane such long endurance.
I have a question about the configuratio of your "home made" battery pack: Did you put the cell's first in parralel and then those parralel blocks in series ?…"

I have problems tuning my TECS.When my plane in AUTO mode and a lower altitude is requested (going over to a new lower waypoint) you see and hear clearly that the trottle is reduced too much, the plane drops fast in altitude, and the is corrected by…
My Airspeed meter has a lot of offset drift, mostly temperature drift.Does someone knows the algorithm used in the APM - MP to display the airspeed ?I'm looking for something like this:Reading_airspeed [m/s] = FACTOR * ARSPD_RATIO * (…
"What is the difference with a normal 433MHz telemetry solution ??, can you make a comparisson table ?
5Km with 20dBm is nothing: The 5Km path loss at 433MHz is around 100dB (using isotropic antenna's) so with 20dBm transmission power you have -80dBm…"

"Dear Andre,
I see indeed an small increase of airspeed when I pu my finger on the pitot tube, is this because the air is a little compressed as my skin goes a little into the tube ??
What is IAS ?
Best regards Maarten"
