Happens that I have a spare APM, can I use it?

Not sure how different the servo outputs are. Take a look at the ArduTracker code. There's not much to it. You'd just need to figure out how to pulse_servo_1 and 2 on the APM.

Hi

Great work Happy !

Im waiting for the day HK*GCS, APM planner, photo mapping software,and the other neat programs they working on all melts into one!

It's not far off. Joystick control is almost done. Mission planning coming very soon along with tuning parameters and other variables for APM, AttoPilot and Gluonpilot.

:-) what is needed Exactly ? just the AP board ? Im buying one as we speak.

hey people, the ardutracker idea is ment to work with anything using arduino....... only have to check the pin asigment!!!!!!

Comment by Paul Mather on January 10, 2011 at 2:49pm

Yes, just the AP board...and I use an FTDI cable to connect it, but I think you can use something cheaper like a USB to serial cable....

 

I don't have any "plans" for building the tracking base. I'm hoping Diego can chime in and post some of his pictures....he's got one built.

I hope so to as the DIY part of bilding it is easy just need to know the requirments . Full 360 turn needed? tilt degree required?

Comment by Paul Mather on January 10, 2011 at 3:42pm

180 is suggested as a minimum for pan. 360 is ideal, but not required. 90 degrees on tilt.

Cool thanx Happy .

Im still building that Ground station with everthing in it and this will be the final touch.
