Daniel Chote commented on Heino R. Pull's blog post Ardustation 2 Aircraft Battery Low Voltage Warning (2.0.18)"Great job! I use graupner telemetry with my gear and settled on 10.6v also. At 10.4v I could consistently cause ESC low voltage glitches if any wind or quick movement occurred. 10.6v gives enough buffer to RTL before anything weird happens."
Heino R. Pull posted a blog postArdustation 2 Aircraft Battery Low Voltage Warning (2.0.18)
I've been working on the Ardustation 2 software since August 2011 and I've finally gotten around to adding a feature that has been asked for more than once: a buzzer warning when the received Mavlink aircraft battery voltage has dropped at or below a set value. The buzzer is sounded ( at LCD screen updates - 1 Hz)…See More
James masterman replied to Heino R. Pull's discussion Ardustation II 2.0.17 Release for ACM 2.9.1 - Small Fixes and Additional Range/Bearing Algorithm"Nice work Heino. I have moved to the RFD900 radio setup so have had to move to the mission planner functionality.
It's not bad although I did like the extra functionality from ardustation like being able to see satellite status, battery…"

When I extract zip files, winzip puts the files in a parent folder of the same name as the archive, and I think had the files buried one folder too deep in the sketch directory, as well, all my messing around with the…"
Heino R. Pull replied to Heino R. Pull's discussion Ardustation II 2.0.17 Release for ACM 2.9.1 - Small Fixes and Additional Range/Bearing Algorithm"Hi Chris,
The whole sketch folder thing is definitely tricky. I always create a new blank folder and put into the folder the Ardustation2 folder and the library folder from the zip. I set the Arduino 1.0.3 preferences to point to the folder I…"
Chris Card replied to Heino R. Pull's discussion Ardustation II 2.0.17 Release for ACM 2.9.1 - Small Fixes and Additional Range/Bearing Algorithm"Hi Heino, I appreciated the work that you have put into Ardustation-ii.
I have been using Arduino on off , but it seems like things change every time I take a break from it.
I've never encountered this much trouble with compilers before APM…"
Heino R. Pull commented on Heino R. Pull's blog post Using a Remzibi OSD with Arducopter 2.0.x Beta (and now Arducopter 2.7.3/2.8) and Mavlink 0.9/1.0"Hi Bryan,
The Remzibi OSD's require a version of their firmware that supports sending arbitrary characters to the OSD display. The converter software I wrote takes Mavlink data coming from the APM, and sends it to the OSD as if it is coming…"

Thank you for your quick answer, I wasn't expect such a quick one due to my last call for this problem on another thread "few" monhts ago.
Couldn't be easer for all of us if someone put a line of code to correct…"

Heino R. Pull posted a discussionArdustation II 2.0.17 Release for ACM 2.9.1 - Small Fixes and Additional Range/Bearing Algorithm
This release is for Mavlink changes in ACM 2.9.1. The message location of the number of GPS satellites has been changed for ACM. Ardustation II 2.0.16 will display 0 GPS satellites with 2.9.1. I've also added an additional antenna range/bearing as suggested by James Masterman. He reported antenna pointing issues at long ranges at his location in Australia. This algorithm seemed to fix his problem. I've tested both algorithms using a simulation and the results seem to be very close. I've left…See More

Update 10/22/2012 - For those few who may be interested, I'm now using this software on my personal quad with ACM 2.7.3 and 2.8. This software now compiles with Arduino 1.0.1 and works with…
Continue Mixing Rocketry with Arducopter 2.5.3 - SLRA Launch March 31, 2012
Posted on April 10, 2012 at 10:00am 6 Comments 2 Likes
I'm the secretary for our local St. Louis rocket club: St. Louis Rocketry Association and decided to bring out my Jdrones frame/APM 1 to the launch to do some 2.5.3 testing and at the same time shoot video of some rockets with a GoPro Hero 2. I'm using the Jdrones stabilized camera mount - although I'm still adjusting the camera mount gains and dealing with jello video. The GoPro video was also sent to the…

This is an update from the original blog post in October 2011:
I've updated the Ardustation 2 source code to allow compilation with Arduino 1.0 Relax and the latest libraries for ACM 2.5.3 and APM 2.3.0. This update also includes a modification of parameter names for PID editing that match ACM and…
Continue Modified Ardustation Software to Support the Arudcopter and a Tilt/Pan Antenna Driven By Mavlink

I've modified Phillip Anthony Smith's Mavlink Ardustation to support an inexpensive tilt/pan antenna platform. RAM is very tight in the software so this is not a laptop/ground station replacement and the original software was…
