Sam,
As Chris suggested, we are swapping out the airspeed sensor and replacing it with an integrated USB receptacle. We're hoping this will make it more accessible to beginners since it won't require an FTDI cable and will eliminate the need for sol…
Jeff, How about an update on the progress of the Turn Rate Limiter Shield.
This will just fit perfectly in my UAV platform as a UAV-kit.
Can't wait.
hi
if you could use the fma copilot who stabilization?
make a similar setup that existed in ver 1 of the code to arupilot.
but that code is able to RTL and Waypoint?
Doug, I've filled in those two spots based on the comments in the code, thanks!
Chris, you bring up some good issues. We'll have to discuss them at more length.
Jeff,
I've been thinking about what the best, simplest out of the box experience would be for newbies. What do you think about ditching the airspeed sensor (the PicoPilot, which is the closest product to this, doesn't have one) and replacing it wit…
Jeff, how is testing going? Remember there were a few "holes" in the code such as the gyro pin and sensitivity.... Let me know how I can help.
Certainly it's being stabilized in a way. It will definitely keep an Easy Star upright during normal flight :D
After the initial release we may integrate roll into the equation as well but that won't be necessary for anyone with a 3 channel plane l…
Add to Cart!
Actually, to be precise, ArduPilot will be doing limited stabilization--that's what the yaw gyro is for; if you were only doing navigation, you'd only need the GPS--but only enough to keep a relatively stable plane flying straight and true. It's bes…
It was designed in Eagle. My best guess as to its final release is sometime in March, sorry for making you wait! Right now all information is cloaked in secrecy ; )
Yes it just sits right on top of Ardupilot. The pressure sensor is used to maintain…
I'm just trying to understand it's use. It plugs into an Ardupilot and is an old school ap that provides navigation via stored waypoints and rudder? How is the pressure sensor used? Does the Ardupilot continue to provide stablization when using this…
Where can I find more information about this?
any idea of when it will be released? I'm very anxious to try it out!
what did you use to design that ? eagle ?
Thanks Jordi & Chris!
The release date and cost are still a bit up in the air. Once it starts flying it will be easier to tell.
Mark, the pressure sensor actually melted while I was using an infrared rework station. Since then I've used a reflow o…

Turn Rate Limiter Shield Preview
This is the first working version of turn rate limiter starting beta testing now!
For those not familiar, this is a project aimed at providing a cheap, easy to use shield for beginners. It only requires this board and the ArduPilot main board to fly the plane, very simple!
I got only a mild version of Jordi… Continue
