About Me:
Active Duty Air Force, studied aircraft Stabiliy and control, and then small RPA stabiliy and control for my masters. Just getting into R/C hobby, and excited at the possibilities of collaborative research in the UAV field.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
started working with high-endurance UAVs as part of my masters thesis, and got hooked on the potential and thrill of autonomous controlled a/c.

"Wondering if the 4-servo setup ever got added? Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm working on retrofitting a Sniper A800 for pixhawk, and am struggling with servo setup.
Thanks
Chris"
Thanks

"WOW, Thanks John!
That's actually all i wanted. I don't have my OSD with me right now, but i'll try it out first thing on monday morning. I can't thank you enough for doing this!

"Sorry if I offended you somehow Andre, that was certainly not my intent. I am not presuming that the test will work effectively, I'm just asking a simple question about how to change the overlay to display a message as a proof of concept. The FCC…"
"Thanks John, that is exactly what we are attempting to do... When you say simple, can you explain where an how to do it? It is mostly a proof of concept. This xmit platform will most likely be flown on a vehicle following the target uav,…"
"No, all we are trying to do is show the words "WARNING - RESTRICTED AIRSPACE" on our own video feed, through our MinimOSD unit, and down to our video receiver, as a static default message on the minimOSD when no data is received from the Pixhawk. "
"Andre, I think we are talking past eachother...
I'm planning to use a camera, and the minimOSD setup, just modify the characters to change the message.
Chris"

"Hey Ben,
Did you ever have any success with this? Trying to do something similar and having trouble figuring out whether SITL is a viable option..."

"Thanks for the response Andre, but how is this different than what MinimOSD is already doing for me? I can already change the characters and adapt the outputs from the telemetry data, vehicle info, etc, I'm just looking to use a static version…"
I'm working on a project where we are attempting to transmit a warning on 5.8GHz when a drone enters a restricted airspace, and figured there has to be an easy way to implement MinimOSD or similar. The current through it to just hook up a camera…
I have been troubleshooting my Tarot X6 960mm hex running Pixhawk, and cannot figure out why it is flipping on takeoff. I have reviewed a number of other forum topics, but can't seem to get a stable takeoff. Recent corrections/checks have…
"After getting home from work, I fired up the Pix(hack) with the RC input attached, and went through the RC calibration just to see. Sure enough, once i had that board attached, the GPS status went from 0 to 1. After disengaging the external compass…"
"Thanks Chris, I'm pretty sure it is a clone, as 3dr was out of stock and we need it for a build ASAP. If the vehicle is showing up on the map, isn't the GPS information getting through to the GCS? I don't understand how it could know where it is…"
"The GPS Status is also showing as "0" rather than "1" this whole time, so it's not a matter of not getting lock. If I unplug the GPS, the vehicle disappears from the minimap as expected... Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated."
I just purchased a Pixhawk with a Neo-n8m GPS, but for some reason I can't get the GCS to recognize that there is a GPS lock. I haven't gone through the RC Calibration and whatnot first, as I figured I would get the GPS working first. I am getting a…
I have been working with the Ardupilot setup since just before APM 2.0 rolled out, but haven't really ever gotten deep into the stability and control code and processing from the 9-dof sensors. I am starting a new project, where i would like to…
"Thanks Silvio, I have a feeling that 3G/4G telemetry is going to explode in the commercial market in the next 2-3 years... that site is a great place to sell new companies on the potential useage."
