"Does this program still work with ArduPlane2.40 or Arducopter2.6, both using MAVLINK1.0? I get an error message when loading my logs from the plane, and I haven't tried the log from my quad since Dany mentioned it wasn't working properly…"

Georeferencing pictures

Here is my memo: How to save gps-coordinates to picture files with Geosetter program. The coordinates are saved to the picture exif-data, and these go with picture all the time. In exif there are already data from camera model, exposure time, lens focal length etc, now we add there gps coordinates.

For example here is…

Here is my memo: How I make camera launcher from old servo electronics, usb-cable and diode.

Here are quite many steps, so I write this memo if I need to make system again... Programming took only few minutes, to build circuit took more time.

My camera is Canon PowerShot…

I made a program that shows log data in visual way. I can see plane position, altitude, elevator, ailerons etc.

Here are some screenshots from program:

My plane made strange curves during flight. All curves are in the same places. After a very careful check I found an error in APM navigation code. It is now…

Hello Alpo,

I sent you a friend request a long time ago.... :(

I read about your plane TaigaCam and found it great with robustness and good possibility for FPV.

I would like to build a similar one for myself

Would you agree to help me?

Best regards,Jean-Claude

Forgot to add that my first objective is to perform aerial photography

Then perhaps later FPV flying

Regards,

JC
