I'm currently working on an university research project in which I will be mounting a thermal camera to the bottom of hexacopter and then trying to spot nesting birds in the marsh that are difficult…Continue
Need APM for MAVLink Testing
Started this discussion. Last reply by Andrew Radford Jul 5, 2012. 1 Reply 0 Likes
I am currently working on a ground station app for iOS. The problem I have is that I do not have an APM yet and with my college student budget, I can't afford to buy one new. So I am looking to buy a…Continue
Mavlink Basics

So, I'm developing a ground station for iOS devices (iPhone/iPad) and after making a lot of progress, I came upon a major stumbling block. I can not wrap my head around how the mavlink protocol…Continue
iPhone controlled UAV

A little know fact is that the iPhone can indeed send/recieve serial data through the dock connector(jail broken of course). My idea is to interface the iPhone with an xbee and have commands that can…Continue

Where did you get that case?? I need one for my A-10.

Jake Stew replied to Andrew Boos's discussion Mavlink Basics"I don't understand... why would you deal with a company that would try to rip you off like that? $10k to use the bluetooth device you already paid for?"
kavi chen replied to Andrew Boos's discussion Mavlink Basics"hi there, I have interested in your project, and i have study Mavlink protocol by myself and also have some experiences of developing Obj-C, can i help you in your project?"
Sebastian Gralla replied to Andrew Boos's discussion Mavlink Basics"yes, you can use another protocol, but you then have to change the APM firmware accordingly
Mavlink is used as a default communication protocol between the APM and your ground station"
baptiste.vial commented on Andrew Boos's blog post iOS Ground Control Station...Its Alive!!!"That looks very promising !"
Andrew Boos commented on Andrew Boos's blog post iOS Ground Control Station...Its Alive!!!"There are quite a few reasons. First, I can run c/c++ code inline with Obj-C, making it very easy to implement Mavlink without a wrapper. Also, I want to be able to use bluetooth 4.0 in order to communicate with the xbee. Finally, native apps are…"
Jan Detlefsen commented on Andrew Boos's blog post iOS Ground Control Station...Its Alive!!!"why not just build is as a web app and make it multi platform? i don't see anything that needs a native app here. Or just work with the countless other web based ground stations."
Paul Thompson commented on Andrew Boos's blog post iOS Ground Control Station...Its Alive!!!"This is an app just waiting to happen. :-) The thought of lugging a laptop to the field has kept me from trying telemetry so far. Good luck with your effort.

Peter Meister commented on Andrew Boos's blog post iOS Ground Control Station...Its Alive!!!"Well done keep up the great work...."
OlivierD. commented on Andrew Boos's blog post iOS Ground Control Station...Its Alive!!!"Yes Yes Yes! Have and IPad mini and I keep telling myself it is a pitty there is very little dev for IOS platform. Understandably but it would be so nice to have a mission planner of sorts via wifi. Great work. "

I've been wanting to make a GCS for my iPhone for awhile now but finally got the time to start working on it! The GUI is very very basic as of now, with only an attitude indictor that displays only roll. I'm concentrating on cleaning up the mavlink implementation and then i'll make a nice GUI.The way i'm currently communicating is an Arduino w/ Ethernet shield connected to a old wireless router(i'm in college and money is tight, so no WiFly or Bluetooth 4 Module).I'm just sending UDP packets…See More
Andrew Boos replied to Andrew Boos's discussion Hexacopter Thermal FPV Research Project"Thanks for the info! It helped a ton!"
Kevin Brown replied to Andrew Boos's discussion Hexacopter Thermal FPV Research Project"No it is an old Flir A-10, 5.8ghz 600 mw on the radio
I have not range tested this unit yet. A lot depends on the antennas you use
but 2 km should not be a problem"
Andrew Boos replied to Andrew Boos's discussion Hexacopter Thermal FPV Research Project"Is that the FLIR TAU? with the camera extension? Also, what frequency is that transmitter and what range do you get?"
