I'm designing a remote controlled helicopter cameraship for commercial work and would like to know if it's possible to extend the range of the camera's remote controls for record/pause, iris and zoom. These are usually infra-red line-of-sight. I wond
If I network 2 or more basic stamps together, for example to use my old bs2 as a slave with my bs2p as the master. Will this in effect, provide me with more overall processing power if I simply use the slave to process and send the results for a coup
hello!i am new at this. But found this webpage and got interested right away! I really like the predator plane, but got some questions about it and uav`s.This predator plane is electric, how long is the flighttime on one of theese?How long can this f
Hi all, I've been lurking this site for a month or so and I finally decided to register. I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself; hopefully I'll be able to contribute to discussions when I am more experienced.I'm a junior at Roosevelt High
Has anyone heard of or dealt with the STXe module from GPS FLIGHT? Its a pretty nifty telemetry tracking module that would be pretty handy for just about anything we do here on DIY Drones. Anyways just wondering if anyone has heard of or tinkered wit
Hi allafter watching the wired science show and noticing the guy(sorry I have forgotten his name) with the r/c helicopter I was wondering if he has had any success in turning it into a UAV.The reason I ask is that I am about to buy an electric helico
Hi,Currently I'm trying to build one UAV as my freetime project. But I have run into this problem which is blocking me to take the UAV for its maiden.My configuration is as follow:1 * dsPIC30F6014A for ppm decoding, stabilization and navigation contr
Here is my latest scratch built UAV design, It is based off of Lockheed Martin's Desert Hawk 1 and took approx 3 evenings to build. I have recently learned that dow blu core insulating foam works absolutely great for designing and forming fuselages.
I understand that, in autonomous mode, the ruder is controlled by the CPU.But in radio mode how the ruder is controlled? Is a 3 pin switch, 2 positions, used with a extra channel (autonomous/radio mode)? or the pilot simply don't have rudder control
i've messed around a little with the bs2 code for the geocrawler 4 project and would like to point out one flaw:Get_Angle:DeltaLong = -1 * DeltaLong 'reverse to conform with ArcTangent coordinate standardsDeltaLat = DeltaLat * (128 / 9999) 'adjust th
Here is a new GPS module that can acquire satellites in less than a second, has 50 channels, can handle extreme temps, and it's footprint is 17mmx22mm. Engineering sample costs $119 but will not be available until January.News releasehttp://www.u-blo
Here is a simple design for those that enjoy building their airframes from scratch. This design only cost me about 30 bucks and has turned out to be an excellent performer and super stable flyer. I started off with my original design of the MRASV, bu
I've been lurking on this site for a while, and figure it was time to finally say hello.My company builds small video-enabled mobile robots for education and research. Some of our robot controllers were ending up airborne, so I started looking more c
Hi All;New to the site here, but am an avid RC hobbiest and also run a CNC laser business on the side. I'm working with a local prototyper here, and would really like to get more involved with other projects in the UAV/UAS community. Primarily in the
Chris,I just found your site and signed up immediately. You certainly have created a specific forum for all of us RC fliers who are interested in UAV's and Drones. I got the bug when I had the opportunity to review the Nitro Predator UAV for RCU, and
