SteadiDrone QU4D - Full flight with different modes and features + DroidPlanner! from SteadiDrone on Vimeo.

Hey again guys, just a quick post here of some recent videos we've posted, firstly let me once again thank all the developers who make this code as…

Here is an interesting quad frame that Hobbyking is selling. I can see this really working.

Nice enclosures for the motors…

Upload Stable, Beta or Developer Firmware to your APM or PX4 for ArduCopter, ArduPlane and ArduRover. The ArduPilot Developers have put together a Great new site from which you can upload any version of Firmware Drivers to your APM or PX4…

This is the third iteration of my Ardupilot Mega to Hitec telemetry adapter. Adapter no longer requires modifications to APM itself, but instead connects to telemetry port of APM and it has a pass through connector for telemetry transmitter. I made PCB this time using SMD parts for smaller size:…

I made a strange frame, it's not pretty looks, but it really can fly.

It isn't very stable now. I will keep tuning.

My idea is simple, just need one engine take the air into box, then go out from three gas outlet. Three servo control flow rate to make different force. And need a tail blade to control yaw. It's very like…

I was testing my Maja in full manual mode this afternoon, an eagle come and join the fun of it. We flew a few round together before I realise that it actually come to defends it's airspace. A few attempt to close in with the plane and lower it's craw ready for a catch. Lucky it didn't success and I have power reserved to escape from situation. 

MY Maja 2.2 M was build as per instruction with some reinforcement. AUW is 2.8kg. A 3S 2200 battery was put in front as…

Take a look at my heavy lift hexacopter.

It flies very stable with the standard PIDS.

Couldn't get loiter to work though.



My setup:

NTM 910kv (changed to MK3638 on 4S)

Turnigy plush 30 amp ESC

UAP 1 frame

For booms i have 12mm kite tubes

5000mah 3S (now 4S)

11x4.7

Turnigy 9x + frsky

I use the hex to take aerials, with…

This WallChart.pdf is a first draft of an idea to provide diagrams of the relationships between the different modules of any Arduino drone project that new users can stick on the wall.

The pdf shows a map of how…

[ Update at the end ]

You bought a brand new FRSky with 8 channel and a promise of a helpful PPM Sum output.

Be warned that you cannot use this with 8 channels. Only 6 channels could be used with some risks (only 5 for real safety). [Note #1 at the…

Hi Guys,

Its been some time since I gave any public updates to you people (contributors have got weeklies) on the status of the FreePilot project. Now as the project nears completion, I am posting photos and the current status for you people to comment on , advise, criticize , etc. I have run into some issues, most of which have been solved, but still need…

Free Webinar: Developing code for the APM

On Monday July 16th 2012, at 5pm Pacific Time,I will be hosting a 90min webinar on Developing for the…

I didn't think I'd actually get this far so soon, but somehow I have. I got my APM2 strapped on to my T-Rex 600 and managed to get it in the air. In fact, I've even got it tuned moderately well!

I started out switching the APM from my 3DR quad to the trex frame and began the process of learning how to…

Yesterday I received issue 30 of Make Magazine, and on the cover of the magazine there was a big "RC Stunt Plane".

It seems a super-cheap platform on which building a frame for testing arduplane on: the frame is basically extruded polystyrene insulation board with a reinforced area to host all electronics and…

If by "Stormy" you mean "Somewhat Cloudy", and by "Sea" you mean "San Francisco Bay"...

Radio contact lost, Zephyr II with APM flies to points unknown, rescued with APM and most other electronics functioning.

Full story and pics:…

APM 2.0 is the culmination of almost a year of hard work. We wanted to make it perfect and we…

Inspired by the recently announced APM carrier for the Bixler, I made my own carrier for the Hawk Sky.  Build notes and more photos here:

GroundControl and MAVLink have been improved substantially behind the scenes over the last months. The most obvious new feature on the user level are custom user widgets. You can configure yourself parameter sliders and buttons and even export this widget into a *.qgw file, which other users can import. The video shows how to create a custom attitude control…
