I created very simple setup to track the speed and altitude of my RC plane.
On the plane: In addition to the AR500 spektrum 5 channels,
XBee pro 2.4 connected directly to ublox 407 (RX,RT) they shared a regulated 5DC power source. power by a separate 3

Hi,
i want to ask that will we start flying our uav in any direction and it will get oriented toward the starting point automatically or we have to start through the starting point.

Read more…Hi folks,
this is a newbie question about a datalogging version of a ArduIMU or ArduPilot.
For my glider I want to have some datalogging of GPS data, acceleration and gyros logged on SD-Card or something else. It is also possible to send all these data
Have a very weird problem at the moment, I have my ArduPilot (328 board) aileron servo output to a Y-lead for a servo in each wing half, however just suddenly the servos appear dead but when I plug the servo's in singly they work.
The Y-lead is fine
Hey Guys.
I've just been given a box full of Compaq Ipaqs! There are loads of H3660s and a couple of more recent ones, a 3950 and a 3850. None of them have BT or WiFi, but the more recent two can be expanded with wifi compact flash cards fairly easy
All (but perhaps Bill P and Paul B most of all :-),
Based on earlier threads, I had the following idea for the orientation estimation of a quadrotor using only 3 gyroscopes and 3 accelerometers. I'm not sure if it would work.
I propose to track the "gr
I'm trying to use the ardupilot setup to control an unmanned ground vehicle :D:D:D:D:D:D!
I was going through much of the documentation but still couldn't find the answer to a little question of mine.
Does the robot not need to know it's orientation
