I have been trying to decipher the protocol I get when connected to my APM 2.5.  I originally saw this when I opened up the terminal in Mission Planner to analyze the MAVLink.  After that I opened…Continue

SITL with X-Plane

Started Jan 19 0 Replies

I'm wondering if it is possible to use SITL with X-Plane instead of the other sims in the tutorial.  I'm awaiting my APM 2.5 and want to try out the APM on a UAV that I created in PlaneMaker.  I'm…Continue

Xbee PRO XSC and Xtend 900 for Telemetry/RC Control with ArduPilot APM 2.0

Started this discussion. Last reply by Bertrand Duchiron Mar 11, 2012. 2 Replies

I know there have been several threads related to this but I have no found a definitive build log or instruction.  I'm designing a UAV and weighing my options for autopilot, telemetry, and OSD.…Continue

Telemetry/Video over 4G/LTE Cellular link for Beyond-LOS Flight

Posted on April 16, 2013 at 8:42pm 22 Comments

I have a thought to use cellular technology to pipe video and data over a UDP connection.  This is nothing, however, I haven't seen a lot of support for the usage of 4G/LTE which allows up to 100mbps speeds.  Has anyone ever read up on this pico board?  I'ts available from min-box.com.  The same place…

I came across this while researching wireless solutions and seems very possible to create a long range WiFi connection between the GCS and aircraft using an onboard micro computer.

These are the specs that the company…

Relatively Inexpensive Thermal Imaging Gimbal M1D Micro

Posted on November 22, 2012 at 10:00am 18 Comments

   After arriving in Texas, I've talked to several land owners who complain about feral hogs damaging their property.  I had a solution that would incorporate thermal imaging with a sUAS platform to track hog movement and patterns during the day and at night.  While doing research I came across this little baby,…

X-Plane PPL Flight Training from X-Plane.org

Posted on April 2, 2012 at 3:07pm 0 Comments

I'm not sure if anyone has come across this, but I've been reading through the training and it is very informative.

Since most of us have the Mission Planner software that can HIL interface with X-Plane, this can be a very good tool for amateur UAV pilots to learn the basics of flying and aircraft…
