ArduPilot Sketch Freezing

Hey Everyone,

I'm back fiddling with my ArduPilot after an absence caused by a couple of crashes and just being busy with summer.

Anyways, I'm having an issue with my ArduPilot board that is starting to become a bit of an annoyance. I wanted to ask h

Amateur TV, 70cm video systems.

While researching video systems for a recent project, I stumbled across something I had completely forgotten about Amateur TV systems.

servo jittering in stabilization mode

Hello everyone!

We equipped an easy-star with an ArduPilot (with Shield V2) and AttoPilot XYZ IR-sensors, ArduPilot software 2.5 and 2.6 was used. We are using a HITEC optic6sport transmitter and a HITEC HFS-05MS receiver.

The problem is that when we

Aerial 3D Image processing

Does anyone know of a open source or a inexpensive 3D modeling software package that can process from still images or video.  My idea is to program a UAV to fly a route taking pictures along the way (3D Mapping then when it comes across a structure I

NEW ARDRONE GPS???

Question about this new drone due out in Septmeber. Not knowing much about it but it being an open source, how hard will it be to add a gps to auto navigate it, and would I need a ardupiolt? Also estimated flight time is only 15-20 minutes, how can y

Adventures with Config Tool

Had a fun day out tracking down my Easystar when it disappeared out of sight while testing the AP.

I'm having a weird problem with loading my waypoints into AP 2.6 with IMU.  The present setup does not confirm your waypoints after initialization, i g

CAD Repository

Hey all.

This is my release candidate. Could people with the following configs try the code and I'll put names by the verifications. In the future I'll try and formalize the testing process.

Hi there guys,

AP 2.6 - Lost my ALH after a reset

I was test flying yesterday trying to do some basic waypoint navigation.  It seems that my AP did a few resets. 

If you look at the telemetry data, the value of ALH goes from 50 to 1312 after the reset. Of course, my Easystar then tries to climb and

ArduPilot Mega Shield on arduino mega

Hi,

the ardupilot mega shield seems like a nice IMU but I dont need the Pilot board, so I'd like to put it on an arduino mega, which  I already have.

Can the ardupilot mega shield be fitted easily on an Arduino Mega?

thanx

FPV issue

Ok so I have the range video 1.3G fpv system. I started off putting it in a wild hawk (easystar clone) with 2.4G radio gear. It crashed when I added the fpv gear and powered it up. I thought the vid tx and the plane rx were too close so I built a new

2.6.2 vs. 2.6.1

I've had good results from the changes made in 2.6.1. I just noticed there is now a 2.6.2. I did a forum search and have not found any discussions regarding the changes. What's the difference between the two versions?

Is there  a change log on the Wi

Helicopter UAV?

Hello,

missing ublox antenna cap

I had a hard landing today and I noticed after I got home that my Ublox GPS is missing the antenna cap. I won't be able to go back to where I was flying for at least a week to search for it. Is this something that is replaceable? I thought I saw anot

Has anyone ever tried to use a luneberg lens to control and send/receive data from there UAV platform?

Turnigy 9-channel 2.4Ghz radio tips

If you've got one of those freakish inexpensive ($59) Turnigy 9-Ch 2.4 RC sets, you'll note that despite good hardware the firmware leaves much to be desired. One mystery is why most of them beep at you and say "switch error" when you turn them on. F
