Hi All,
I am struggling to find any concise information on ArduStation, but bits and pieces I can find suggest it is a pretty handy bit of kit that I might consider exploring...
My main intent it to create a SIMPLE antenna tracker. Simple because it interfaces with Mission Planner and requires minimal assembly.
- Can the ArduStation code be uploaded to a spare APM2.5, or does it have to be the £40 thing from BYOD?
- Where does ArduStation get it's GPS location from to work out the pan & tilt angle to the aircraft?
- If ArduStation is connected to Mission Planner (lets say via ZigBee) then how does the aircraft connect to the ground? I can't decide from the documentation that I have found whether it is through the same link somehow, or, if there is a separate antenna (lets say 3DR) which is being moved by the ArduStation pan/tilt then connected to a second port on my laptop (& therefore Mission Planner).
Cheers in advance troops, keep up the good work.
Si

I'm having trouble finding an ArduStation in stock or anything on a similar price point. Can anyone help?
what pitty that diydrone doesn t sell something rtr...antenna tracker is a premium option for arducopter and there are only few info available
This is really interesting thank you.
Still have a question that I can't find any reference to:
If the ArduStation is connected to the aircraft then how can Mission Planner on my laptop (APM doesn't support multiple connections), or is the whole point to completely replace my laptop? I am only interested, really, in the antenna tracking functionality.
Thanks,
Si
Ah this is excellent news. sounds very exciting. how far along is the project? anywhere nearing completion?
