Hi,
I’m new to Arduino and DIY Drones, and I am building a IMU for a model aeroplane. I have already written some code to control the servos from the gyro outputs to some success. The gyros are part of the razor 6Dof. One question I have is can I in

I just ordered an XBee Pro 868 
Development kit, and I was wondering what adapter boards you are using for this particular XBee. It has a maximum current requirement of 800mA (at the maximum power setting) but the Adafruit adapter can only deliver
Howdy from Wyoming, I am an old member here and finally decided to stop bein cheap and get an ardupilot setup! The problem is, I have everything (ardupilot, expansion board w/windwspeed and thermopiles) and the gps. Well...Ive been messing with it an

Hello DIY Drones community! As mentioned on my profile, I am a high school student beginning a UAV project with a couple partners. We have experience with robotic electronics, C, and RC planes, but we're all new to autonomous planes. We've decided to

The difference is massive and explains some of the behavior that I have seen.

Hi folks,
I was thinking about how to defend propellers and the frame from damages
And I came to the idea to cover the frame with polyurethane foam.

hello,
I want to use simlar code just to read and filter 3 axis accel data.
I have looked at the arduimu code, and it reads from gyro and gps as well.
How can I read single, double or triple axis accel data, and kalman filter it?
or is this a futile atte
In one of the latest video by Jani I saw a camera mount on Arducopter.
I was wondering whether it was a custom design or if it was a prototype of something coming that is ready made for the Arducopter.
And in that case, will it be just a static mount o
Hi
Is it normal that this component is very hot? 97AG N03B on the Mega board
I had conect a short time-4S.
shall I change this component or a new board
where can I buy this component ?

Is it possible to use the ArduIMU qith a different range (the range of +/-3g is needed to be enlarged to at least +/- 10g)?
Would it be an "easy" solutution to use an ADXL321 instead of an ADXL335 ??????
Thanks
I own a Futaba 6EX which runs at 2.4GHz with its spread spectrum stuff. It claims to be tolerant of other 2.4GHz signals and so no need to worry about them. As I am in the UK and wish to have telemetry I have two options 900MHz (wire antenna out of s
