helloi am using R7G-T7G RF module for my telemetry project with my GPS working at 4800 but i am receiving a lot of noise at the receiver so my data is corruptedthe link to the datasheet of these modules ishttp://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webd
Read more…So these questions may be bit a daft, but why do all the IMU's have 3 accelerometers on them?I just picked up a memsic 2125 dual axis sensor from radio shack for $30. Wouldnt 2 of these give you "4 axis" of angle input (roll+pitch+yaw+... 1 extra)I'v

Read more…Hi, I'm trying to get started with UAVs, but I'm going to develop my autopilot first before buying an RC plane. What I'm thinking is the following:1. Design autopilot using Simulink2. Use the Arduino RTW target to put it onto the ArduPilot hardware3.
Read more…Ok the idea is that while fling around u see a sespious vehical. (parden the horrible spelling)So u want the drone to lock on to that vehical and keep it in focus, by tracking it? or locking on or something??Any body got any ideas???
Read more…Can anyone describe the differences between the AdruIMU and UAVDevBoard in terms of capabilities? I would like to get started with UAVs and I want to use an IMU based system. They both have a full six dof? Why did I read the ArduIMU uses gps for yaw?
Read more…My problem:I'm trying to get Ardupilot 2.1 to work, but I don't get the servos reacting to the IR Sensors. I don't have a Z sensor that's why I use 2.1. I entered 0 at this line: #define SENSOR_Z 0.When I run the Infared board test program the XY sen
