Hi All,
I decided to build my own pixhawk version and just made compile environment on my mac mini with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 and followed every instructions described in the ardupilot wiki page.
Now I setup compile environment on Eclipse and successfu

First post from a complete noob here.I need some advice from you guys regarding an experiment Im planing to conduct.

Hi everybody,
I recently finished building a device that can find and point to the center of mass of any object placed on its platform. Here is a video demonstrating how it works:

To takeoff an arducopter using any MAVLink ground station, I noticed that it was necessary to have a 3D fix for the GPS and the copter must be in GUIDED mode.
However, this is only possible in an outdoor environment to be able to get the 3D fix

As 3D mapping using cameras which aren't aiming "90 degrees to the ground" (NADIR), say, aiming 45 degrees down, (so the fronts of buildings are better captured) - I did not find any option for flight planning in such way on the mission planner

We are attempting to program our PixHawks for fixed-wing Powered Gliders. We are only using four channels: Throttle, Aileron, Elevator and Rudder. Main Channels 1-4.
When we program them with Q Control, we can receive T / A / E and R from th

Hello everyone, I'm a new member and I'm currently doing my master thesis.
The basic point of my work is to connect a raspberry pi (that will run OpenCV) that, according to camera video will send a signal to a flight controller (like pixhawk) move for

I just finished my build of skyhunter mini.with APM 2.6. All tuned nicely, 6mode flight enabled, flaperons etc. I'm using latest firmware in conjunction with 3dr power module.
GPS got 9 satelites no warning messages after startup.

I've searched to no avail but I'm looking for some information regarding airframe designs. Basically the benefits (if any) of some designs I've seen getting around.
Firstly, for an X airframe, what is the benefit of having the booms at 90 degr
