"I will follow your work with great interest.
Have you heard of the Parallella, not really the SBC your looking for, but I would recommend Googling it.
I'd like to know what SBC you select when you do."

Trouble with setting up XPlane HIL on Arduplane for custom Aircraft
Started Feb 2 0 Replies 0 Likes
Hi Everybody. I'm having some issues with my HIL setup with XPlane. I am using the APM 2, and it works fine running the ArduPlane 2.68 code and flying a PT-60 Airplane in X-Plane. I'm trying to…Continue

Hi, I'm looking for a device that can collect data from a Motor and a Propeller, running at a duty cycle corresponding to the range of a motor's voltage, to measure and analyze the following…Continue

David Gitz commented on David Gitz's blog post ROS, APM and the Kinect"Gary - The next steps for this project are indeed on using an SBC (we have not selected one yet), SLAM and obstacle avoidance. I will post more on this when we get farther."
Wiki NinjaGary McCray commented on David Gitz's blog post ROS, APM and the Kinect
"Absolutely first class work.
Are you continuing with development: especially with dedicated SBC?
And it seems like a short hop to "SLAM"?
Really hope you continue with this, it is really valuable to us all."

"STFM with a Kinect or whatever the next low cost sensor is called will be a game changer. Have you seen the 3D from single pixel camera work in the UK?"

"Thanks for sharing this! I love messing around with my Kinect and testing code but man you are a pure genius!!! Please keep us updated on your progress and if your code is opensource. "
David Gitz commented on Thomas J Coyle III's blog post Quadrotor With Tilting Propellers Can Twist in Midair"@Neill:
I have to disagree. What if you wanted to take pictures above the quadrotor at varying angles? What if you want to take pictures of something that is occluded due your rotors being in the way? Or even as exactly as you…"
David Gitz commented on Thomas J Coyle III's blog post Quadrotor With Tilting Propellers Can Twist in Midair"@Neill/Daniel:
The point is that it is a fully actuated system, i.e. it can position itself in any orientation/trajectory. So for instance, if you put a camera on it, you could take pictures/video of something in any orientation, like a…"

"David, this is super impressive! Worth a blog post on the front page, I think, especially if you can explain a bit more what you might be able to do with this. "

ROS, APM and the Kinect
All - I thought I would post on here about the project I recently finished. This was a project for my university. The goal for this project was to do some form of tracking with the kinect using ROS and send output commands to the APM via MAVLink. I used the roscopter package from Yogesh and expanded upon it pretty heavily. I also made it able to work with the ArduPlane software as well.You can watch a video demo here:…See More

David Gitz replied to KSS's discussion Operating Arducopter without GPS over MAVLink in the group ArduCopter User Group"Randy - You are exactly right! Thanks!
I set g.rc_3.channel_in to 100 and I change the set_throttle_out to range from 0 - 1000 and can watch it on my scope and on a servo.
You da man."
David Gitz replied to KSS's discussion Operating Arducopter without GPS over MAVLink in the group ArduCopter User Group"Hi, I'm having a somewhat similiar problem. I have a ROS node setup and I think it's working fine. I'm attempting to control the throttle via ROS. I can see that the APM is Armed (by viewing the ROS topic /state) and…"

Hi all - I just wanted to talk about a project I've been working on for school lately. I am interfacing ROS with the APM and a Kinect Sensor (over MAVLink) to provide target tracking and attitude settings to the APM.

Hi Everybody. I'm having some issues with my HIL setup with XPlane. I am using the APM 2, and it works fine running the ArduPlane 2.68 code and flying a PT-60 Airplane in X-Plane. I'm trying to test out a custom aircraft with tilting rotors, which for now I just want to control with the Trigger control on an XBox-360 Controller. I assume I have to change the line in GCS_Mavlink to:mavlink_msg_rc_channels_scaled_send( chan, millis(), 0, // port 0 10000 * g.channel_roll.norm_output(), 10000 *…See More

For a University Robotics class I completed a project that integrates ROS (Fuerte), an APM and a Kinect Sensor.
For some reason all the text that I had written was lost when I posted this. I didn't really say anything besides what I didn't already say here: …
