Failsafe include files, where are they?

Where can I find the failsafe include files? 

Ardu-IMU Servo pins?

This is really just a simple question of documentation, but what pins are the "SERVO" pwm pins connected to? IE, which pins would I declare as output in the firmware to control servos based on the orientation of the IMU?

Architecture Implementablility

Hello,

I have a question concerning the possibility to implement an architecture using the ArduPilot Mega

It is also, I hope, a discussion about which functions should be handled by the Autopilot board versus 

placing them on another computer which will

ARDUPILOT can change/create waypoints during the flight??

Hello everyone

Anyone knows if is possible to change/create the waypoints during the flight?

float wayPoints[WP_TOTAL][3] = {
        {-0.000465, -0.000612, 100},    // 1    
        {0.000456, -0.000628, 75},              // 2
        {-0.000453, 0.00055

Data telemetry range issues

We currently have a functioning ardupilot being used as a data telemetry unit. However, through field testing, we have found that the range we successfully achieve with the ardupilot and xbee data telemetry unit is approximately 0.3miles. This is a f

Using EM-406 GPS instead of Ublox

Do I need to change anything in my setup of arduPIlot with arduIMU..or change any coding to use EM-406???   I know I have to change the #define line for the GPS to NMEA...but are there any other changes? Have people been having success with EM-406?

1.7 and NMEA, bit of an odd one!

OK guys,

here we go....

Got the IMU set up, worked through a problem with the AP ignoring the IMU data stream...

As i destroyed a ublox some months ago, thought that i would run up the AP/IMU combination with the locosys 200031 in NMEA.

so, after get

Arduimu magnetometer calibration

Hi,

And yet, another helicopter - autopilot question

Hi

I've read through as many helicopter-autopilot discussions here as I could find. I'm trying to quantify what the issues are with going from a fixed wing autopilot to a helicopter autopilot. What I've been able to gather, is that vibration seems to

Connect a Futaba Fasst 7C tx to the computer and a flight simulator???

What program or flight simulator do I need to use the joysticks of my futaba tx to practice flying? Do I need a special cable to connect the tx to the computer?? If so...link??

Will the easy star work for Mega or do we need a plane with ailerons

The title says it all. I like the Easy Star but will it work well with an IMU?
Should I buy something that has ailerons?

Auto Trimmer

Been a long time away from the website, and I gotta say you guys and gals have made some significant improvements to an already impressive system. I hope to be back in the field playing with our UATs this summer.

Arduimu with 4 stroke Saito (vibrations)

My setup is Ardupilot 2.6, IMU, Ublox, Xbee pro 900 mhz, kyosho calmato 60 sport trainer (aprox 8 lb) 4 stroke saito 100 and 24 oz fuel tank. previosly I been flying with IR sensors (ardupilot 2.4) everything were ok, since I've changed to IMU things

MediaTek MT3329 GPS 10Hz

I purchased this with full knowledge it wasn't ready to go out of the box. I'm starting this thread to consolidate efforts to utilize this GPS in the multiple projects here at DIYdrones.

I'm working with the UAVdev board and the MBED micro controller

WiiM+ and NC as IMU

How about a wii motion plus and a nunchuck as the IMU ? Code is working via I2C bus....

Link Budget for Xbee

Hey Folks,
I was curious about the Xbee range in free space.  I put together a spreadsheet with a derivation of the Friis Equation (somebody check my work if they get a chance).  I know very little about 802.15.4, so I cannot speak in an educated mann

no power to Ardupilot

I've hooked up my new Ardupilot to my ESC and am not geting the power LED (or any others). While trouble shooting I was checking to see if I had power at the servo pins and accidentally shorted the power pin to the signal pin and the power light came

I have the ping code as a replacement for LV-EZ0 sensor code.
