I have upgraded to a 1 watt radio, but even with good dipole antennas I am only getting around 800 meters through trees and buildings (much more when up in the air of course). Better antennas may help, but I am considering using more power and 5 watt
I'm having some trouble with my first pixhawk plane (but my 5th arduplane!).
I have very fast throttle and desired pitch micro oscillations. I did the auto tune then tried to adjust the TECS settings for climb rate (lowered it since it couldn't manage
I have a minimosd in an airplane. Latest firmware in my Pixhawk.
Is there a way to display how high you are flying above the ground (or home position)? Currently I only see MSL altitude and Home Altitude which is not that useful to me.
We've come up with a simple, low cost, open source streaming thermal camera that runs on Raspberry Pi. The system is based on the SEEK Thermal Camera which offers 204x156 resolution.

I have been doing mapping missions with APM and Pixhawk for a while. I often want to map areas that are too large to cover in one flight (as I am sure do many people). I end up planning multiple missions and eyeballing the overlap between each missio
3DR charged me Sales Tax even though I order from Canada. As distributor and UAV integrator, I have been ordering from 3DR for years now, and I started to get charged HST on the last three orders. Since the goods ship from US, I also paid duties and
I am curious to know how RTH works in the APM Rover system? Specifically, if RTH is engaged does the rover try to drive directly back to 'Home'? Or does it return by reversing its original course up to that point in time?
In an attempt to troubleshoot why I can't get my motors to spool-up, I first confirmed that on my good flying quad platform with Pixhawk, connected to Mission Planner, and with the radio receiver physically disconnected from the Pixhawk, I can run th
I need a simple user interface for our Pixhawk based fixed wing UAV. We need to allow farmers and non UAV oriented people to safely fly our NVDI payload and hope the Raven GCS will do just that. Is this the case if so when will it be rolled out?

Has anyone flown live power transmission wires? I have a potential job doing just that. The wires are energized at 138k volts. I was told that there is risk of interference from these lines affecting the control of the drone, does anyone know the "ru
Hello! I am a developer and interested in Obstacle avoidance. Could someone direct me to a group or individual working in this field? Is anyone working with LIDAR, optical sensors, and the like for obstacle avoidance and path planning? I’d like t
Winter Barnburner Drone Racing Series presented by ReadyMadeRC Registration Opens!
The weather has been stellar, and many pilots have been able to make use of the extended fall to get some stick-time in... meanwhile the FPV Racing Events Team has been
Hello everyone! I have successfully used Pixhawk on my plane with auto mode in missions(via MP).
Now I decided to try it on nitro or gas helicopters but I still cant figure out how to use it with external governor (for example futaba 701 or another one
I would like to make some changes of the flight mode altitude control (ALTCTL). My software is Qgroundcontrol and I use a Pixhawk. In the Qgroundcontrol library under QT Creator, what the names of the files relative to the flight modes?
I am new to ardupilot and have written a payload drop code for my UAV but i m unable to integrate it with the existing firmware. Can someone tell me the procedure for the same....
