I'm trying to power the ArduIMU+ v2 without the USB connected. For example, when I put it on my robot, I'm not going to have USB. I applied 7.2V to the VIN>6V pins, but none of the lights go on.
Must I apply voltage (regulated 5V?) to the 6-pin FTDI
Hi,
(Scrap this, as after looking at the SLAM page, it looks like they used the Hokuyo scanner . It generates the same sort of image as the images in the videos is you have a spare 350 grames available and $5500 then indoor lidar is for you. That said
Hi guys,
here is an other bloody beginner. Last week I finished the hardware. Easy-Star, Ardupilot with Atmega 328, GPS EM406. Loaded the latest Code 25.02 and everything looked fine so far. The testruns in the different modes were successfull (Stabil
Hi, All
My ArduStation battery voltage displays as “1236.0000000000”on the readout.
Is there an easy way to remove the zeros behind the decimal point to read like this “1236.” Instead of “1236.0000000000”?
Thanks for the help
Johnny

well, from my old-fashioned opinion there is currently too much discussion about the best way to do AHRS in this forum. Kalman versus other approaches like Bill Premerlani's one. Remember that the whole DIYDRONE story started with the Paparaz

I do have some trouble. I've flown the 2.5 code a few times with a EM406 and it seems to work, sort of.
My problem is that i do not know there to start with the tuning.
In stabilize everything works perfect. No wing rocking or pitch oscillations. Rea
