and I have a question regarding the GCS software. When I connect the FTDI cable to the ardupilot and load the software
I have worked out a way to use a standard CoPilot II system combined with a simple ArduPilot board and GPS (No IMU or Thermopiles)
I would appreciate feed back as to possible invasion of CoPilot II copyright

Out of curiosity I did a search for people in Montreal and noticed that there is quiet a few. So I thought, if there isn't already a user group why don't I propose one. The summer is here and the weather ( today ) is ideal.

Is it possible to add an Infared and Sonar Sensor to the APM board? I would like it to be able to do some of the things that the Ardu QuadCopters can do and autonomous taking-off & landing is one them.
Thanks.

Hello all.
I'm evaluating different algorithms for use in the autopilot hardware and have stumbled across the DCM algorithm, which looks very promising. So far I've tried complementary and kalman filters and was hoping to give the DCM a go. Looking a
In which direction should the APM be installed to get correct imu readings. Servo connectors pointing forward or backward?
I think this information should be added in the manual. (If it's not already in there)
