"So, I have found my own answer after much experimentation. After examining the QGroundControl source code (no easy task, even though their code is beautifully organized and encapsulated), I found that the message handling functions employ a simple…"

Hi Folks, I'm looking for a way to integrate telemetry data into a custom software project, for use in ground station processing of aerial images. Specifically, I need GPS coordinates and body angles…Continue

Hey guys,I'm looking to setup a pan/tilt gimbal, stabilized by the APM, with targeting input from the video operator on the ground. (Note that the video operator will NOT be the guy flying, hence my…Continue

Jake Bailey replied to Jake Bailey's discussion APM data over telemetry"I should mention that I've opened the link with PuTTY, and was able to use the CLI just like in the mission planner. When I tell it to reboot and resume flight mode, though, I don't see any readable data, just garbled characters that I…"

Hi Folks, I'm looking for a way to integrate telemetry data into a custom software project, for use in ground station processing of aerial images. Specifically, I need GPS coordinates and body angles of the aircraft in as close to real time as possible. I'm just getting started in programming with the serial port on the ground station computer, and I'm wondering if anyone can offer me any guidance as to how to proceed. Here's what I have so far: - I can open the serial port and display data at…See More

Jake Bailey posted a discussionAdding a second telemetry ground module
Hi Folks,I'm currently working on a UAV using the APM as our primary flight computer. The drone is primarily to be used for surveillance and target detection/identification, all of which we are performing on a windoze box at the ground station. Due to the highly interactive nature of the ID process we've developed, we've elected for a ground station setup which uses two operators and two separate computers: one responsible for target tracking and the other in control of the vehicle. This leads…See More
Quentin Mayberry replied to Jake Bailey's discussion Camera Stabilization/RC Targeting Input Mods"We found the simplest method for us was to use two receivers on the aircraft, one used for flying the aircraft and controlling modes of the APM as normal and the second receiver getting it's power and earth feed by the first receivers spare…"

Hey guys,I'm looking to setup a pan/tilt gimbal, stabilized by the APM, with targeting input from the video operator on the ground. (Note that the video operator will NOT be the guy flying, hence my post here :). We want to have one guy 'flying' and monitoring aircraft attitude and flight path, and another responsible for video operation and target location.The idea is simple: I want the video guy to have an easy to use interface to point the camera. Could be a joystick, or even a few keys on…See More
Stephen Rayleigh replied to Jake Bailey's discussion UAS Systems Design - APM Mission Planner questions"We tried making our own 802.11 setup, and it didn't work out for us. We should have used more off-the-shelf stuff. It just couldn't connect at long distances. I know for a fact that other teams use Ubiquti products, particularly the…"
Jake Bailey replied to Jake Bailey's discussion UAS Systems Design - APM Mission Planner questions"Stephen,
We are, in fact, planning on competing at Pax River in the summer. Definitely looking to use Ardupilot as well, since it's cheap and easy to use. Meets the accuracy requirements, and does the job fairly well. I have one I bought this…"
Stephen Rayleigh replied to Jake Bailey's discussion UAS Systems Design - APM Mission Planner questions"Which competition are you doing? AUVSI Small UAS in Pax River?
I started a team that does that comp, and we use Ardupilot.
Mission Planner is by far the most user-friendly ground control package, but if you're running Linux,…"
Jake Bailey replied to Jake Bailey's discussion UAS Systems Design - APM Mission Planner questions"Thanks for the reply Greg. I supposed I should have asked a more focused question:Are there linux alternatives to the mission planner software? I'd prefer to not write my own. I've been to the store and have seen the telemetry radios…"
Greg Fletcher replied to Jake Bailey's discussion UAS Systems Design - APM Mission Planner questions"I guess you are new here. Go to the store, that's my idea on telemetry.
Misssion planner and Ardupilot both use MAVlinlk 1.0.
Oh, ya, the most important part. You have a lot of work TODO"

Hello all,I am currently working with a team at CSU Fullerton to design and implement a UAV system. We are designing just about everything: from the airframe and related systems to the onboard image processing capabilities and more. At this stage in the design, I've run across a bit of a road block that I'm hoping you folks can help me clear. The ordeal is this: onboard our UAV, we will have two computers running. One will be the APM (we have my personal v2.0 for testing right now, hoping to…See More
Jake Bailey replied to Paul Hansel's discussion Mega-scale APM2 flying wings in the group ArduPlane User Group"My advice for drilling the holes would be to use the wing tubes themselves as drills: heat them up considerably with a heat gun or other appliance, and once they are fully heated, push them through the material where you want them to go. Keep in…"
Jake Bailey replied to Dr John Lannigan's discussion I am still following intently"So, I think you have a decent idea now of what hardware is available and feasible. My best advice, as a fellow engineer, is to take the time proven approach to designing something like this: Define your problem thoroughly (pretty much already done);…"
