Had a relatively good one today. Kind of fun to watch on the video.
Can anyone tell me what the standard for the MTK is supposed to be.
I ordered 4xmtk gps units. I still need to investigate why one gets a fix and the other 3 do not.
Before I rip out Jordis firmware from the mtk (if it exists) I would appreciate an u

I was curious if any of you have delt with BanaHobby before. I also was looking for opinions on two different planes. Would either be okay for a UAV?
I plan on building an Easy Star or something similar for testing, but I may end up wanting to convert
Hello All,
Firstly i was wondering if anyone had an ArduIMU v2+ Eagle file.
Second question... If i have a different GPS that I would like to use, how can I connect it without using the EM-406 connector? can i simply connect my gps's TX line to the IMU's IN seri

Hi there,
I flew ardupilot for return to home in order to compare its performances with a "homemade" solution.
I had GPS lock before take off (I use Ublox GPS).
I tunned it so it does STABILIZATION very well.
However when I engage return to home, the

The EasyStar is a nice and stable platform but with it having rudder and elevator its manoeuvring capabilites leave some with the want for more. The physical modifications to the plane are pretty easy stuff however the servo control is more of a comp

Hi All,
would like to know what is the best plane for arduino-mega.
I would like to have enought space for a video/camera (was thinking 5.6 ghz), telemetry (900mhz)
and rc (36khz or 2.4ghz) .
It seems that eazy glider was the best platform for ardupilot
