Hello,Just a question concerning HKTM and possibly Telecommand (TC).Does anyone implements a taylored version of the Packet Utilization Standard (PUS) for TM/TC?Note that there have been some publicaly accessible libraries implementing it such as the
Hello,I am in the process of learning many things but as a software guy, I am puzzled by a stupid HW question.The ArduPilot or other systems do make use of a GPS receiver.The same applies for the FPV system I am considering.Hence my very dumb questio
http://diydrones.com/photo/img_2216-1Can anyone identify this Drone for me, does it have a name ??Also are there any plans around for some one like me to scratch build one.Last question any rough dimentions of this beast.Any other plans for any Drone
I recently became the owner of a TI MSP430 based RF development system as a give-away at a seminar. I have augmented it with the TI RF amplifier for greater range.TI use a proprietary communication protocol, but it is on the regular 2.4GHz band. I am
It has occurred to me that an accelerometer could be used to null out the lateral acceleration in a turn by aileron control The bank would always be optimal.I have not seen this used as a simple control mechanism, and it makes me suspicious that it m
I'm interestted in Aerial Photography and Autonomous systems' but i'm so newbie.Could you offter any roadmap for starting point ?Now i'm looking for the solutions under discussions , i'll share my steps.Thanx.
This is old news for most of you, but not everyone received the memo.There is a maximum safe pulse repetition rate of approximately 40 pulses per second for the most common PWM servos. The uppper limit arises because of the pulse stretcher circuitry
I have been working on some navigation formulas and below you can see the results running in a small simulator i wrote. The algorithm makes the plane follow a line between two wayoints by minimizing XTE in a PD-loop. If the angle to the target WP is
Hi AllI have one of the old ardupilots which I got before the 26th of Jan, not sure if this will effect anything. But on power up of the board the following happens: All the lights of the board comes on then the power light stays on and all the other
Just out of curiousity, I do not quite follow the choice of the external 16MHz clock. In essence this means if you are using the HS setting in FOSC your CPU will be clocked with 4MHz (FCY == FOSC / 4). So your only real choice to get decent CPU perfo
Hi all. I need a NMEA log file from an EB-85A GPS board to set up an emulation out of ArduPilot. This emulation would then be fed to my Inspire OSD (its version 3.4 support this 5Hz GPS chip). Has anybody such data to share or could someone give some

Hi all.As it happens once in a while, I acquired a lot of 5 nice dc/dc new converters from ebay for 9 bucks, but now I got them I lack basic information about the product."Specifications" I have for them are limited to following: DC/DC Converter 5V I
A while ago I posted about Sparkfun's UBW32 board. After a lot of reading up on the processor and reading some code samples, I finally have a (sort of) working rudder controller.In keeping with the spirit of this site, I'm attaching the project files
Has anyone seen RCPowers.com? On the front page there is an F-35 VTOL foamie that has an awesome partial hover controlled by the on-board gyros. I am seriously thinking of getting the plans for this one when he finishes it. A VTOL function would be g
