I’m looking for advice as to the steps to take to get to my next project’s ultimate goal of an autonomous sailboat. I’ve been programming industrial automation systems for over 40 years, so I understand control systems and program structure. I have b
Read more…Hello guys,
I was doing a static test to verify the precision of the sensors of the IMU within the pixhawk and I saw a very strange behavior. Although the roll and the pitch were really still (with some noise of course), the yaw did not stop at any mo

Read more…I am wondering if I could mount the Zenmuse XT on the new Inspire 2, it seems like the Zenmuse would just work on Inspire 1 and Matrice 100 (?).
Any clue? Thanks in advanced!

Read more…Hey guys,
I am powering my Pixhawk with the Power Module, but my plane uses a SBEC with 5.66V output for my 4 micro servos. I read that if I plug my SBEC to the servo rail in the pixhawk it acts a power backup, but I read that it mustn't be higher tha
So I've been wondering how to make use of the INS_generic.cpp code in the example library, and I was wondering how I could actually build it for my pixhawk... I'm quite new at this, so can anyone give me a step by step on how to go about it? Do I use

Very interesting CFD depiction of the airflow around a quadcopter.
Sorry that they decided to use a DJI, but I suppose it is the most recognizable by the public at large.

I've removed the telemetry as the plane has a range of about 30 miles so is usually out of range.
Cruising speed 60mph on half throttle so a mile a minute on autonomous flights. No airspeed sensor - m

Waypoint 3 is the DO_SET_SERVO command.
Have I done it correct or is there another command to turn them off again? I am using a receiver controlled

Has anyone ever tried a setup where you have used an ublox M8N to connect to the LiDAR from Velodyne? I did all the wiring connections as you can see on my diagram. I got a PPS Locked on the LiDAR, but no GPS coordinates.
Someone has already make

I'm actually being paid to lift an rc plane as high as I can using a balloon and then release the plane to fly home on it's own.
I have my Permission for Aerial Work and an exemption from the UK CAA for this adventure, plus insurance, so the legal

i did some testflights with my new quadplane test platform.
transitions are smooth, flyes nice as plane.
I only have very slugish yaw performance in qhover, so i had a look at thelogs: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vzbc46ju5ldrbth/AADcCTUMRX5v5fY
