Flight Control Board trial run.
This board comes with a dsPIC30F6015 CPU and just for control servo ,receive redio-in and RF datalink.
It can provide the RF moden power directly and driving 4 futaba 3003 servos in the same time.
The sensors and gps will be integrated as one board and connect with this via connector for using new components in the future.
Just for… Continue

MARCY 1 & MARCY 2 4 U
MARCY 1 ATTITUDE HOLD 4 U
Attitude hold on Marcy 1 seems to be a disaster. In the wind, She seemed to actually stabilize with the attitude hold on. When She got near the trees, that must have confused the thermopiles & caused her to bank away from the trees, leading to a seemingly stable position in the middle of the fairway.
In 1 short break between storms, the attitude hold was a… Continue

Ardupilot integration into the new robbe Arcus
just wanted to share first pictures of a new project - integrating Ardupilot into the new Arcus Sport glider (a product of robbe here in Germany). The Arcus is an electric glider with a wing span of 2.6 meters, completely made out of "Arcel" - a similar foam like Multiplex's "Elapor". It comes as an RTF kit, complete with six servos (rudder, elevator, 2 x ailerons, 2 x flaps, ESC, and a brushless outrunner for about 260 Euros (350 $).
I have integrated the… Continue

3D Robotics Warning for indoor Micro UAVs with magnetometers: stay away from steel doors!
From I Heart Robotics:
"While it may be obvious to some, as a practical matter, steel doors should be considered a serious navigational hazard to indoor autonomous micro air vehicles due to the effects of the magnetic fields. This problem is especially… Continue

OpenLog Resetting Issues
I think I've debugged one of the issues I was having with my OpenLog connecting to Ardupilot. This will probably be blatantly obvious to you veteran Arduino Programmers, but it got me, so I figured I'd post in case it helps anyone else.
After a few flights with only the open log and the ArduIMU, I decided to integrate the ArduPilot board and move the logger to the Ardupilot board. My ArduIMU was now talking to the…
