Ok, so I was researching the RQ-11 Raven, as I'm thinkinig about designing a plane based on it, but discovered a new one. The Lockeed Martin "Stalker. I really like both planes, but prefer for FPV work, the clean nose of the Raven. As for building
for a helicopter IMU. But recently I have heard that ST's sensors are bad for helicopter IMU's, as they are bad with vibration. Would this work? If not, ca
I've been enjoying DIY Drones for quite a while, but I think this is my first post. Although I’ve been flying helicopters and quads for a few years and I’ve been doing embedded programming forever, I have only recently gotten into Arduinos.
I was wondering if there are any tips out there for making the drone last as long as possible in the air. I'm sure keeping the weight down is important, but might there be any words of wisdom on build a craft that can stay in the air for long periods
I changed the subject of this discussion to a basic platform information exchange. I am planning on using the Hobby-Lobby Senior Telemaster as the platform for my UAV project. It's large wingspan and low wing loading, will allow heavier payloads, suc
I have been on a bit of a standstill with my Ardupilot project lately, but managed to get out for a test flight, and as usual have returned with more Ardupilot questions. I have the Ardupilot 2.4 in an Easystay with the following hardwa
I am attempting to load the code in to my blimpduino board but get error codes repeatedly. Just running a verify produces this, one of a list of errors.error: 'timerPID_altitude' was not declared in this scope In function 'void autopilot_state()':In
The other day I was reading one of the posts and read something about one of the newer versions of the ArduPilot software parsing and using NMEA 0183 sentence strings rather than running in a binary mode?? Or was I just fantasizing about using anothe
hello my friends!if anyone know please tell me i bought an arduimu and i connected it with my microcontroller with the UART. i used 4 pins:GND,5V,OUT,IN.with this connection,can i take data from gyro and GPS?
Has anyone tried flying an Ardupilot without the IR sensors? Assume if you have a very stable platform ie one with sufficient dihedralthat basic navigation should be possible using rudder alone with the elevatorcontrolled by GPS height.
I am looking for a relatively cheap platform for carrying mobile phones.
Our application, www.gpslogbooks.com, currently provides real time tracking for mobile phones. We are working on giving it photo and video capability and to demonstrate this
Oh the horror ! I dropped my Ublox onto a hardwood floor and snapped the antenna right off. After 45 minuits of carefuly picking at the epoxy potted base I have expossed a central pin in the middle and one on either side if it. Ohm meter says the two
Hello friends Am interested in designing a completely autonomous micro aerial vehicle.Basically the vehicle will be hand launched.It will have to follow a set of multiple way points (GPS navigation) and then finally land at a predefi
