This is the first documented test of my Rover project. it is justthe obstacle detection software running on an Arduino mega. instead ofhaving the arduino decode the recievers outputs and the encode back toservo, i used SPDT relays to disconnect the s

The design doesn't seem to be very reliable.

Do you need any kind of radio permit or license to use the Xbee radios or video transmitters in the US?
I've done a lot of AVR Programming over the years, but always did it via parallel. Will the Ardupilot let me do that, or is the software specific to the USB FTDI cable?
Thanks in advance,

I received my little red box from SF today with my ArduPilot in it. I got right to work soldering but I had to stop when I got to the part about how things are powered. I would like some power redundancy in the system but I don't want to add too mu

Hi!
My name is Vagelis.
I am a newcomer to the u.a.v. world.
I would like to know can i control my u.a.v. with a modem router from my laptop with a joystick?
I am asking because I have seen that the most expensive radio controls are 2,4Ghz and my modem
Hi, guys!
I noticed, on the ArduIMU+ Demo, that the GyroX ( Pitch ) value seemsto be inverted. I assembled it like manual explains (with all the chipsinside the "cube", with their top face pointing to the center of theimaginary box, formed by the boar
My receivers (35MHz) usually go nuts when they loose radio signal.
If I turn OFF the TX the RX can turn the servos off limits and strip their gears, the motor can suddenly start...
Even in Waypoint mode I see that this happens, since you always have

Hello everybody!
I was looking on sparkfun.com to buy a 3-axis accelerometer for learning and training purposes.
From what I understand, some of the accelerometers have an integrated interface (SPI, I2C, etc...) while others simpler versions output

Newbie here with some questions. First some background. I have been building and flying R/C aircraft since 1963. Had to build my first transmitter and radio from a bag of parts. Best survelliance aircraft was a 12 foot Sr. Telemaster built in Ger
