Control PWM using RC

In our project we have successfully used a PWM from a AT89C2051 controller (frequency 50hz) to control a brushless motor through an ESC. We changed duty cycle using a push button and varied the speed of each motor. But we are failed to control this p

2.5 RC3, IMU Support?

I noticed just glancing through the ArduPilot 2.5 RC3 code that there is a section for IMU variables.  What level of IMU usage is supported with this release, coupled with the latest ArduIMU+ board and firmware?

I know there was talk of 2.5 or 2.51 p

UAV blimp

i'm making a custom blimp with TWO (20A, 7.4-11v) motors for right and left throttle and one (10A 7.4-11v)motor for vertical thrust. I'm also adding a servo to use the left and right throttle motors as vectoring thrust.I'm going to use 3 ESC's to con

What would be causing this snaking?

Hi,

I had my first RTL flight this afternoon, which i should report did work, but the plane did not exactly take the shortest route home as can be seen from the GPS track. Started at the Flag and flew out on manual and then the red track is all under

HobbyKing UAV Predator ?

Hello everyone!

This is my first post here.

I will buy ardupilot and a cheap airplane to try it. I think of buying the HobbyKing Floater-Jet http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8359&Product_Name=AXN_Floater-Jet__/_Ready_T

Ir sensor wires

Hello, the following picture shows the wires of the FMA sensors as following:

Ground, V+, Analog 1, Analog 0,  (XY-sensor)    Ground, V+, Analog 2, Unused (z-sensor)

On my red shield the names are: Ground, 5V, A3, A2, A1

The grounds of both sensors are

Trouble with raw GPS Tester / uBlox and 406 Tester

Hello All,

I have been having a fair bit of trouble with my ardupilot as of late. Previously, I had the 2.3 version of the code uploaded and working fine. Recently, however, I tried moving to the 2.5 code. Somewhere along the line I began having issue

Temperature & Humidty Sensor

Has any found a good temp/humidty sensor and logger that can be used to create a atmospheric trace? I am looking also to figure out how to calculate wind speed. I have direction (from GPS)airsped and gnd speed being used in the Ardupilot, so I assume

Hi, we've been looking for a GPS module to use in a high altitude balloon project and we've been able to find only two units (Lassen IQ and Trimble Copernicus) that follow the DoD spec correctly. Unfortunately both of them are a pain to use.

ArduPilot Circuit Diagram

Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the ArduPilot board?  Looking to see how the board connects through to the shield.

Had a problem with getting ch1_max and ch2_max not getting set high enough

I am not test flying but only bench testing 2.5 and as I tested the output of the stabilize mode (and autopilot as well), I noticed that during the 2 or so second max stick movement before "remove before flight" jumper, the rudder/elevator max vales

Printed wing concept

Hi guys,

here is a rendering of the printed wing I have been designing. My idea is to create a rapid prototype/carbon fibre composite material which I can use in UAV applications. The concept is to be able to print the RP parts directly from CAD data
