Hi everyone !I am planning to build a flying laboratory for automatic control development. I am really interested in using ArduPilot (The ArduPilot+ArduIMU config.) as the core, since it is simple, affordable and yet powerful (great work guys!!!).I h
Read more…Hello All,I want to add the date / timestamp to the serial output of ArduPilot.I can see where to add it, but I don't really see a date variable or method in the code.Does it exist?Thanks!John C.
Read more…Is the full expansion shield really required or just the sensor. They sell both but i never heard any talk of anything but the shield. Im in high school so any thing to save a buck ;).
Read more…Hi, when I try and open the ArduPilot Config tool, I get an error message in the Google Maps box that my browser is not compatible with Google Maps. I don't have any problems loading Google Maps from IE or Firefox. Any Ideas?
Read more…So there are going to be replacement sensors for the thermopiles i hear. Are they not going to be the Arduimu? They say they are going to analog and i know arduimu is serial. But i also hear 2.5.1 code will use arduimu. So are there going to be repla

Read more…I'm planning to build a full UAV system based around Arduinos, and the groundstation is one of the areas where I need to pin down some details to make sure it's all doable before I actually start buying the bits. My main question is whether an Arduin
Read more…I had a look around the site, and it seems that the discussion on UAV regulation is mostly centred around America and the FAA. All very informative, but if, like me, you live in England, not very helpful. So, not wanting to get myself into trouble, I

Read more…Greetings all.I am interested in building a UAV for personal use, mainly to attach a digital camera or possibly a pan-able video camera and have a flight time of ~1 hour, with decent range.I've searche this site along with others, but I can't seem to
Read more…Hi,I have an AttoPilot XYZ Horizon Sensor and an Arduino. I would like to know how to connect the sensor to the Arduino. Does anyone knows the pin layout? What I get as output from the XYZ sensor? A variable tension or a variable resistance? Any help
Read more…I've been playing around with airframe designs for my UAV project, and I thought I'd see what you guys thought. I'm building the whole system from the ground up for a semi-uni-related project, so that rules out buying an RC plane to convert, but it d
