Hi everybody!
I'm from the www.openstreetmap.org project that aims to create a free worldmap. Therefore we walk along a road and record the track using consumer GPS devices. Furthermore we take notes by pen&paper, voice or photo. Currently I try to ex
Dear All,
I have designed a helical antenna to extend the range of UAV wireless link, now i am thinking to write a research paper on it, which i have achieved. The gain of that antenna is 17 dB, please all of u tell me that should i proceed with this

I have managed to get my model (skywalker) flying quite well in both stabilized and fly by wire mode, but I have a problem with the throttle. It doesn't seem to work.
For testing purposes I wired the throttle direct to the rx so I could control it.
Hey everyone,
Please forgive me if this has been asked before. I searched for related questions, but couldn't find any.
I was just taking a look at the latest ArduIMU code and I find it curious that the comment in the ADC code says that the oversampli
I've converted the windows Avionics Controls Demo that I blogged about recently to ArduPilot format.
It turns out to be a good experiment for my mini gound station project.
I could do with some help deciding which values should be displayed

I recently got a 3 cell 11.1V 20C zippy lipo from hobbyking. I was trying to find the right charge rate to use, but I couldn't find anything on hobbyking that said what rate to use. Do you guys have any recommendations?

I am a total noob when it comes to aerial video. I have a basic understanding of the required hardware, but no experience to guide me in the selection process.
Here's what I have:
Autopilot:
Ardupilot V2
Ardushield V2
ArduIMU+
ublox 5 GPS
xbee 900
Hi, if i can wire the mediatek 10hz gps correctly to the adapter board will everything work, or does the code have to be changed as well?
If the code has to be changed, what part of it do i change? (will it be a lot)
please consider i know very little
Hey all,
Can somebody confirm this for me? I am using a 6s Lipo (25.2 volts Max when fully charged) to provide power for my motor. I want to monitor the battery voltage with the GCS, attaching the battery + to the monitor pin on the shield V2 will req
Hello,
Hi,
I want to buy the Venus GPShttp://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9133.I read the Information about the NMEA for the communication between
Arduino and GPS. I read that the GPS shows me my Heading. Is that right?
Ifyes, is it p
I found some notes at www.acma.gov.au. Does this sound as though UAV telemetry at 900 MHz is allowed in Australia?
Are the Arduino devices spread spectrum?
From ACMA:
Frequency bands and power limits for spread spectrum and digital modulation devices

I'm using Ardupilot with V2 shield. Power to the board is by ESC, not by battery. The configuration on the Ardupilot board is thus the "default" PSEL option. I followed the manual and soldered a wire to the indicated jumper to measure the voltage of
Read more…I'm looking for some RC equipment for my next UAV. My question is what kind of range will I get out of a basic $100 2.4Ghz system? The Xbee modules work up to 6 miles. Can I get that kind of range with an amplifier or some other solution? Or could I

Hi everyone,
Is there a good path to 5.8GHz UAV telemetry or a commercial combo?
I'm in Australia so 900MHz is illegal.
The only 5.8 GHz combos I've found being from blip and they are about 3 x as pricey as the Xbee 2.4 GHz telemetry from DiyDrones.
