Hi, I'm new to the Audrino microproccesor, but I see how it is used extensively in the drone community and would like to use it for my project. I'm very familiar with C and have programmed other processors in the past, so I'm hoping that experience p

If I *CAN* realliably firmware to the ArduIMU time and time again, use the test tool to confirm it works, then surely then can be nothing wrong with my PC setup? FTDI drivers etc etc??? They must be working correct?

I would like to use the HiL Simulation to test the Autopilot and I have a few questions about this stuff.
- do I need the ArduPilot Mega IMU for the HiL Simulation or can I connect only the Ardupilot Mega?
- when I connect the Ardupilot Mega (without I
(I applied for membership to the arducopter dev list but figured it was worth posting here anyways)
I was just thinking since the biggest issued with quads is the Fly time and load capacity. Can i just add for small nitro engine from ebay :) well that means i would need a custom frame..
Dear all,
I have a boring but (hopefully) simple question about 6 DOF
IMU...to me the following situation is not completely clear.
Any 6 DOF IMU has accelerometer and gyro on three different perpendicular
axis, ok.
My question is about the Z axiz
Hallo, i'm in state to decide between ArduPilot Mega and ArduPilot. Ardupilot has in optional accesories XY and Z senzors whereas ArduPilot Mega don't. Does it mean that ArduPilot Mega uses for stabilization flight mode something else or it can be st

I'm going through the ArduIMU code to enable an MTK GPS, and I noticed this odd part of setup():
//Setup EM406 for SIRF binary mode at 38400bit/s
#if GPS_PROTOCOL == 2
init_gps();
#endif
This would imply that only the EM406 GPS configuration ca
I'm setting up a new ArduPilot+ArduIMU for the first time.
I have the DIYDronesMediaTek MT3329 GPS, and my understanding was that it already has the custom firmware for MTK binary protocol.
When I build the arduimu code (version 1.7), it only works if
I've obtained the proper millivolts from my regulator and GCS is reporting a full battery (even when plugging in a drained one). When I connect everything up my battery always reports full regardless of it's real value. I tried adding a divisor of

I've gotten the ArduPilot GCS Beta2 up and running after installing the drivers. Today I made several test flights, primarily trying out the GCS and trying out my new Sony Bloggie HD video camera. Both performed flawlessly! Now I'm home rev
