My Ardupilot Project's Status.

G'day all.I thought I'd start contributing more to the community and the best way I could think of was to start a post that shows my current progress and relay any lessons I learn along the way.Right now I'm still getting everything together however, In future, I will add a build log and the results of flight testing (among other things).Hopefully this information helps some of you out there.Cheers,NickHere is my planned UAV/FPV setup:Airframe•EasyStar | OrderedTurnigy 40A Speed Controller | OrderedHXT 2835 2200kv Brushless Inrunner | OrderedProp | Ordered•2S Lipo | Ready•3S Lipo | ReadyRadio system•Futaba 9C | Ready•9CH Reciever | ReadyArdupilot168 Board | Ready328 Board | ReadyArdushield | ReadyXYZ Sensors | ReadyPitot tube | ReadyServo Leads | Ready [More info using these cables soon]•FTDI Cable | Ready•Locosys 5Hz GPS | ReadyFPV/Video downlink2.4GHz 500mW Lawmate TX | Ordered2.4GHZ I.F.

  • so what's the status here? been a while.
  • Haha. There is no doubt I will crash it sometime during testing/tuning (Isn't crashing a part of the experience :P) but hopefully my previous flying experience (and FMS) will help.
  • Let's hope you won't crush it 5 min after take off :)
