Using latest code from repository (R1003), FMA IR sensors, v1 shield, 148cm (58") span OD twin boom pusher plane, manual throttle control, #define NAV_ROLL_P .004 and all other parameters correct as far as I can see (double-checked)
Sparkfun has recently added a triple-axis gyro that has over 30 kHz resonant frequency of all three of its mechanical elements - the ITG-3200 ($49.95). Does this mean it'll hold in a vibration-rich environment like an IMU on a small plane or multicop
xbee is good choice for connect to device (uav and ground station) since uav need wide range .\ but do you think is good choice since uav need accurate signal to control wings and motors
I'm getting this compile error from the latest code in the repository?
In function 'void print_current_waypoint()': error: redefinition of 'void print_current_waypoint()' In function 'void print_control_mode()': In function 'void print_position()': In
Hi dear specialists, I got my easystar flying well with the 2.5.4 Version. Thermopiles Now I added telemetry X-Bee 2,4 MGHz and ground station beta 2. Generally it works fine, but: The Elevation shows always around 13000 meters. Google Earth shows the sa
I need an urgent help on the firmware uploading for ArduIMU ver2. The main problem is when I upload the firmware, Arduino shows "Uploading to the board", and nothing apprears then. And the arduIMU now is with RED & YELLOW LED consta
Hello i'm new to Diy Drones but i have been following posts here for a few months now. I have finally bought nearly all i need to complete my first Drone altho i have gotten stuck. My problem is that the plane i have is a 4 channel plane and im not s
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried this. I have talked to some people that said this could give me a range of well over 1km, and plenty of bandwidth for data up/down and video downlink.
Anyone see a problem with doing this (I plan on using a netb
I was perusing online stores yesterday, when I found several flat panel 2.4ghz antennas in the 15 dollar price range. Coulld one of these be used on a Tx to extend range? I mean, they have the nice ones, with a very tight beam, but then Ii'd have t
I've been following the IMU discussions with much interest. The DCM imu work is very interesting, but it is fairly specific to aircraft. Even then the GPS assumptions as applied to aircraft have significant faults, Small UAV's will easily fly as speeds
On this page......... http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot/wiki/SolderingBoard it says I can solder a wire from the arduPilot shield to the positive terminal of my battery connection to send the batteries life back to the ardugroundstation. Bu
I have a hawk sky for my UAV platform, but the motor mount and the opening for the power and ground cables to go down through the plane to the ESC is so small that when I connect the motor, I can't get all the wires down into the planes fuselage. Is
I'm designing a POD that can carry the Ardupilot, Ardushield V2, either (FMA sensors or IMU board), GPS module (EM406 or u-Blox 5h) and FPV servos, camera, transmitter.
I need to ask what complications I will have of having everything so clos
I ordered a 8 Channel PPM Encoder and now I'd like to change the software on it. I connected an AVRISP mkII In-System Programmer to the ISP Pins, but the only message I get in avr studio programmer is:
