I've been flying with my large quad for almost a year, and I've never had an issue with the motors, until a couple of days ago. The quad was flying in auto mode in an area where I have already tried a few times, and it was behaving correctly. Then
I am in the process of making my first Quadcopter but I am unable to connect my APM flight controller to mission planner using MAVlink. I am using a HC-06 blueto
I'm a fixed-wing guy (so far), but I have a possibly naive question about the maximum altitude that off-the-shelf multirotor (quad or hex?) drone can reliably reach if your objective is to quickly loft a modest (say, <200 gram) payload exactly vert
We are flying long range fixed-wing UAVs and want to improve our video downlink stability. At the moment we are in the 15 km range but we tend to lose connection when the plane banks, which is normal because the air antenna gets tilted,
GDU (former company name ProDrone) was firstly introduced to public at IBC, Amsterdam on September 11, 2015 as the first foldable quadcopter manufacturer in the world.
Except for the portability, Byrd has the universal flying platform, which enables
Hello guys! I'm a little stupid when it comes to this... but can someone help me with a step-by-step installation of the SITL? I can't seem to accomplish this command:
Hello there, I am in the process of making my first Quadcopter but I am unable to connect my APM flight controller to mission planner using MAVlink. I am using a HC-06 bluetooth module and have set the baud rate to 57600. MP is running on Windows 7 6
I need to be able to control my craft with a joystick. This function is broken in the later versions of MP. I would like to know what is the latest version with fully functional joystick control, and where is a reliable source for that version?
I’ve been playing around with an idea of electrifying some octocopters I’ve been designing/building with my 4-year-old son, however I seem to have found myself in the dead end when it comes to motors.
thanks in advance! I have only flown my new build 2 times and both resulted in most of the flight actually pretty stable, good control from inputs. But all of the sudden it would yaw very fast and I had no yaw control and it would crash. on second fl
I'm new to PX4 and drones. I am trying to connect my raspberry pi 3 to PX4 wirelessly. I connect the PX4 hotspot WiFi to the Raspberry pi (Ardupilot). I have installed MAVProxy version 1.6.1 on the raspberry pi together with all the de
I have recently purchased a Tarot 680Pro and plan on extending the arms to an 800. I have also bought a Canon 6D with several lens for a steal($500) from a person of Craigslist. I plan on using the drone for photogrammetry missions. I am currently lo
I have a fixed wing drone that is competing at the 2017 AUVSI student competition in Maryland, and I am having trouble setting up the failsafe requirements.
Here are the requirements:
The UAS must have either autonomous return to home (RTH) or return
Has anyone used this charger? After studying FPV/UAV stuff I decided to go with a FX-79 2m plane with a 3S 16000 since this battery weighs about what two 3S 5000 yet has more than 1/3 watt hours. My next issue was charging the monster battery,
I have recently bought a second hand 3D Robotics Quad. Looks quite old and it came with a ArduMega V1.4 Flight controller which is red and then another board that sits on top from DIY Drones
