"Great!
What are your plans: Zynq or cyclone V SoC ?
I've been working with both Xilinx and Altera, and with VHDL and SystemVerilog, so maybe I can help.
It will be nice to help you out.

Hi all, I've read the instructions, installed the software and can compile it (make) without any error messages. But when I issue make install I get these: LD…Continue
HopeRF RFM22B transceiver (868MHz legal in Europe)

Hi all, I'm wiling to write the Arduino code required to replace the expensive and illegal (in Europe) 900MHz XBee telemetry modules with the un-expensive and legal HopeRF RFM22B modules. But for…Continue

Jan replied to Amilcar Lucas's discussion HM-TRP 868, Sik software link problems"Ok my fault :-)
Just uploaded the bootloader.hm_trp.433.hex and uploaded the firmware.
Working smoothly now. Loading the config is working as well.Now taking care of the other module and give it a try with the APM and MP.
Thanks again for the…"
Marcin Krawczyk replied to Amilcar Lucas's discussion HM-TRP 868, Sik software link problems"Wrong :-)
You have to use different bootloader for different freq (I don't know, what is bootloader.hm_trp.hex for), i.e. for 433MHz module you have to…"
Jan replied to Amilcar Lucas's discussion HM-TRP 868, Sik software link problems"Marcin,
I uploaded the bootloader.hm_trp.hex, via the slabprog.This worked just fine and as you said the red led stays on.Afterwards I hooked the module up to the 3DR radio config tool and uploaded the firmware. This also worked fine.However when I…"
Marcin Krawczyk replied to Amilcar Lucas's discussion HM-TRP 868, Sik software link problems"Load file

Full program
Reset
Red LED stays on - ready for firmware
in less than 10 seconds :-)
You can click buttons or enable proper check-boxes and press "Run selected"."
Jan replied to Amilcar Lucas's discussion HM-TRP 868, Sik software link problems"Marcin,
Thank you for the fast reply.I will give it a try tomorrow, need to get a 1000pF as it was missing in my stock :-)
I suppose you just need to load the hex file and press run in the slabprog or am I seeing this too simple?"
Marcin Krawczyk replied to Amilcar Lucas's discussion HM-TRP 868, Sik software link problems"Only bootloader, firmware will be loaded via UART.
FlashBlaster simply works :-)"
Jan replied to Amilcar Lucas's discussion HM-TRP 868, Sik software link problems"Hi Marcin,
I'm trying to load the HM_TRP433 modules with the hex files you compiled.I do have a question. Do I have to use both files: bootloader.hm_trp.433.hex and radio.hm_trp.hex,
I tried to load it with a programmer (Arduino based) that I…"
Amilcar Lucas replied to Veikko Vierola's discussion 2-axis downward pointing camera tracking"Yes it is possible with the current code.
Just select "point camera here" on the Mission planner map. And configure the camera mount like explained on the wiki.
The code allows for the camera to be pointed anywhere, down, forward, back…"
Amilcar Lucas replied to Adam Rivera's discussion Camera Stabilization (Tilt) w/ infinite servos (360)"The code is in the libraries/AP_Mount/AP_Mount.cpp file.
The file has lots of comments and should be easy to understand.

Amilcar Lucas replied to Adam Rivera's discussion Camera Stabilization (Tilt) w/ infinite servos (360)"I think Adam did the code for the infinite-servos, than I had some changes made that made his code incompatible with mine.
I'm not sure if he already merged his changes on top of mine.
I do not have infinite servos to test width, so I will not…"
Amilcar Lucas commented on Chris Anderson's blog post APM 1 boards, now at clearance prices!"Hans:
APM1 with AVR1280 chip can do:
Arduplane <= v2.60
ArduCopter <= 2.7.1
All other boards (APM1 with AVR2560, APM2 and APM2.5) can use the current released versions:
Arduplane v2.60
ArduCopter 2.7.3
So as you can see there is only an…"
AS replied to Amilcar Lucas's discussion HM-TRP 868, Sik software link problems"Hi guys!
Is there anyway to upload a new firmware to the modules without the drones app?
Regards,
AS"
Amilcar Lucas commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Nice retractable pan/tilt mount"Cool, it looks like it will just work "out-of-the-box" with the latest APM release.
The latest code is able to use a configurable servo output to control the camera retraction.
So Carl, yes it can be set up to work automatically !

Amilcar Lucas replied to The Old Flyer's discussion We need a TRIGGER command!"Are you using the firmware version built from git master ?
MP currently works fine with arducopter 2.7.1. But does not work at all with git master.
Once git master is released as 2.7.2 then MP will change to work with that, but no longer be…"

- About Me:
- An Electrical Engineer who majored in control and robotics.
Worked with FPGAs for the past 10 years.
Professionally designs and programs real-time embedded systems for high resolution image processing and automotive applications.
- Tell us a bit about your UAV interest
- I like slow fliers, and as much hightech as possible.
I'm working on improving the camera mount code to provide tracking and stabilization.
Later on I might even try to do some image processing, the FPGAs are getting cheaper day by day. Optical target tracking anyone ? ;)

DeveloperMark Colwell said… I installed Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers on Mac OSX 10.58.
I want to setup for Arduino IDE and svn use on Google, I use terminal commands to get current svn builds from DIYDrones but want to be able to create new repository for my changes and do quick compares to integrate new designs as the appear on DIYDrones. I loose to much time manually going thru the code changes from all the contributors. I like to use X-Code to review code too. Thanks for any help or direction to a good source of online help. It is a lot to get these sw tools working together, but will be much better for fast development and trouble shooting. Cheers
