Hi, I've been looking at buying the ArduPilot and parts for some time but delivery from websites such as SparkFun and this store are about $55 and this doesn't include the rather lovely "import tax" I'd have to pay once it's in the country which is a
Greetings,I'm running the latest beta code, and everything seem to be working on the mock-up, so I installed it in the Twinstar. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the high throttle, and down elevator that you get when turning one the nav functi
As promised, this post describes where we are in the development of the UAV DevBoard for stabilization of a CCPM Helicopter. It is still a work in progress and should not be regarded as an out-of-the-box ready-to-go system at this point.First I want

Hello all,I have got wireless telemetry working with the board but now I can't determine if I sensors are gathering data on the board. I have loaded the code that lets you view your x and y readings from my fma xy sensor but I am not getting any favo
While getting my UAV project off the ground (pardon the pun) I managed to get the bare bones basic kit together: Ardupilot board, GPS, XY sensor, airframe and RC.Still thinking about the Z sensor but trying to work with what I have. I dug up the 2.0
Hi GuysI need a fixed wing (flying wing) electric powered airplane which is capable of carring about 2lbs of payload. Has to have a good sized internal bay for carring electronics, can you guys make an suggestions? OH yeah and I need a prebuilt body,
Chris/Jordi,
I bought the DYI Drones XY and Z Senors and the 1' shrink tubing, but before I try to use the shrink tubing do you have any suggestions about how the shrink should be applied to the Sensor boards?

Hi,I currently have infront of me a very large working model of an MQ-9 Reaper. In the near future it will require an autopilot system that can direct the aircraft through a list of waypoints and on my command from the basestation follow a different
hello,i m totally new in aeromodelling .i hav experince in robotics.well i want to Design and make a wireless remote controlled aircraft, which has all six degrees of freedom including yaw, pitch and roll and that can complete a specified path in the
Hi,I'm playing around in on the paparazzi center and the GCS and trying to get to know how everything works. I put in my decimal lat and long coordinates and ran a simulation. When i want to fill the screen with google map tiles i get the following m
I am a complete beginner and based off the info on the site I am going with an EasyStar. My question is, what is the breakdown of exactly what I should buy now (brushless motor, good transmitter, etc...) to prepare it for possible UAV use in the futu
Hi everyone,I'm just starting to compile the list of equipment that I'll need to get my UAV project off the ground. My problem is that I intend to use my UAV in mountainous terrain and therefore Infrared horizon sensing circuits seem inappropriate. S
I am looking at the Failsafe Mux in the store and I have a few questions. I assume the mux can be used stand alone without connection to a microcontroller? What is the purpose of the microcontroller pins? I think I may be missing something here. Than
UAV DevBoard Pilots:This topic concerns an efficient way to transfer data through the transmitter of a USART using transmit interrupts.There are two general approaches to sending out a message through a USART. The simplest way to do it, but not the m
Hi Bill,I've followed your UAVdevboard developments for awhile now, and have been very impressed! I don't yet have one of your boards (or a plane for that matter!), but am thinking about getting into it soon.What I have in mind, at least after gettin
