LORAN-C

Started this discussion. Last reply by Jim DeTour Oct 17, 2011. 1 Reply

I was wondering if there are known cases of amateur UAV's which have LORAN-C navigation rather than GPS or in combination with GPS. Thanks for any info, i am interested in accuracy, bandwidth,…Continue

"Kate, the best thing to do is open the log file in a text editor like notepad (TextEdit on mac) your log might contain lines like this: 52.9620361328,4.7732505798,-4.6900000572 GSP:1.18 COG:0.0000000000 SAT:0 FIX:1…"

"Kate, you can run the data you have now through the system identification toolbox but my guess is that the results will be questionable. Especially if you try data from a flight. the toolbox assumes a fixed sample rate and assumes that the sample…"

"Kate, i have been investigating this issue and am currently working on an USB based flight data recorder in order to get data. The problem is that you have to identify the platform including the control system if you want to do it in flight.…"

Who is using the Arducopter for education

Hi All,As i teacher i found the Arducopter ideal for use in an college/university level course on system integration signal processing and measurement & control. In this course 5-10 students are using a single kit over a period of 5-6 weeks. We have about 3-5 groups a year. In the first year we achieved indoor flight in combination with the construction of an intelligent payload with a camera and a manipulator.We are considering an expansion of the measurement and control component of the…See More

"I have been working on modeling and identification. A problem you will need to tackle is the lack of a way to output your sensor data. I am currently working on a 'flight data recorder' based on the vdrive usb module and am testing this on…"

Jim DeTour replied to Jan van Hulzen's discussion LORAN-C
"LORAN was phased out since GPS was finer coordinates and LORAN required very large antenna's running major kilowatts. So large of KW's you could hear the transmission in the air when a couple blocks away from the antennas. It would take…"

LORAN-C

I was wondering if there are known cases of amateur UAV's which have LORAN-C navigation rather than GPS or in combination with GPS. Thanks for any info, i am interested in accuracy, bandwidth, computational complexity and last but not least, indoor or urban (between buildings) performance. Jan van Hulzen See More
