Hello guys!This is my first post, so I do want to apologize if i ask things that have already been discussed. I've tried to search to forums to the best of my knowledge.Building a UAV has been on my to-do list for some time now and this summer i'm fi
Read more…Hello,Today we had our first testflight with the Xbee and it works perfect (ardupilot 1.0) ! We made a flight of three waypoints and landed after that one to change the batt.However after the first flight the xbee log file shows gps altitude of 65500

Read more…My Parallax autopilot with OSD (on screen display) is moving right along. It also transmits all sensor data to the ground station via XBee. Right now I have adapted Chris and Jordi's ground station to display most data.Here is also the spin code....B
Read more…Hi, I've been interested in hobby UAVs for some time and finally have my Powered Parachute project up with some initial flight tests. Info at (http://www/uavgeek.com) The base platform is a seabreeze 82" electric PPC. The guy that I bought it from vi

Read more…I have been roaming around this site for a while, and want to learn more. To start I want a plane. I'm not a beginer at RC, but I'm not an expert either. I want something with a good flight time at a descent price. I might be able to make $600 if I w

Read more…In my enthusiasm I loaded the 2.1 Ardupilot software (all seemed to work ok) and then realised I had not proved the servos were being driven in the correct direction using the NE software.I loaded the NE software and it does not work because I think
Read more…So, I've been throwing around the idea of doing all of my remote controlling through a laptop, via xbee. I'd really like to be able to cut out the conventional R/C system all together. A joystick or two attached to the laptop should provide ample con
Read more…Great work with the ArduPilot it looks awesome.I was thinking of using it to send telemetry down for my UAV but I had a couple of quick questions.On the software you used when you won the competition, I noticed you had an air speed and course bearing
Read more…Hello,Since a couple of months I am busy with preparing the ardupilot.ardu version 1,0I made a flightpath of 3 waypoints. When I switched on the autopilot it seems to work fine and it headed to the first waypoint.However when it reaches the first way
Read more…Up until today there were a number of useful blogs attached to the Ardupilot page. I was particularly looking for one that discussed the configuaration utility and field setup. Can anyone tell me where they have gone?cheers, Fred
Read more…Hi,Another noob here :)As far as a new project is concerned, I can buy a new radio and servos for a Superstar with a .40, but later want to expand to a Cessna Skymaster 337. Want to use Ardupilot. What radio will be a good choice? The Skymaster has 1
Read more…Hi all,We are using the thermopile sensors to estimate attitude of our airplane. The problem is that the paparazzi wiki mentions a nonlinear relationship between the angle and the voltage. Therefore, we can't use it unless we calibrate it experimenta
Read more…I was jw, if i flew a UAV near it, would they start becoming supstions? I live no more then a mile away the fort, but i dont think i would ever fly it into the fort. But is even flying it within that mile range a bad things?
Read more…I have a couple of freinds who are interested in making or buying a UAV. there 13 and there primany use for it would be manhunt( did i metion there boys lol). None of them have any type of UAV or tech training. They think its as easy 123, but i know
Read more…Hi,I'm running the code out of the box through Arduino IDE, when I monitor the serial port, i just get a bunch of symbols instead of the ASCII text. I tried some other terminals to check if its set to binary transmission. but no luck.any ideas?cheers
Read more…Hi.Got my red ATMEGA328 ArduPilot from the latest Sparkfun batch a couple of days ago, and I am having problems getting the servos working.First I tough the attiny45 was missing failsafe code, so I flashed v15 of the failsafe. No luck there, still no
Read more…I have one problem with the pre test- I installed the FMA sensor just like instruction. But when I point the nose down the pitch also going down.. so I need to reverse the settings. I'm using code 2.0 and not the new 2.1How to do?Please don't tell me
