I'd like to achieve the Solo Cable Cam effect with my 3DR Y6 running APM2.6.
I'd like to fly backwards beside a road and yaw the copter to film a car as it approaches and passes me. It's all quite low speed, the movement is just for effect rather tha
Is there anybody that had any success with the Reach or Piksi GPS system? We want to eliminate the requirements of Ground Control Points when doing Aerial Topographical Surveying.
I was flying in auto mode with my Y6 and APM 2.6, going well until it was heading towards the last waypoint and it gave a DCM bad heading error, then in "failsafe" mode took off in one direction. Almost lost it, but it stopped finally then fell into
Hey guys. Started an aerial cinematography business in February, got trigger happy, and bought too many different setups for my own good. With that said, I’m clearing out the fleet and moving forward with the Inspire 1 Pro with the X5. All of the equ
I am new to these issues so I have few questions about my grad project. Let me describe it for you. we are asked to build an X type quadcopter that tracks a gps signal on a person and follows he/she in front of him/her (follow me mode).
Name is Myk, and I live in Michigan. I don't have a drone, but am researching them. I am a seasoned forum user since about 1980 or so when I ran my own 2 line BBS system.
A Google search for "drone forum" brought me here. Site looks good. Interesting
I have used mission planner now for about one and half years. My Quad Copter has work great after making all the changes the way I wanted them. Have flown many a waypoint mission and all worked fine. My computer dropped dead so got me a new one. Do
I have a LidarLite v2 that I use with Arducopter 3.3.1. Everything is fine as long as I fly below 15-20m but above that I only get correct altitude every now and then? It is connected to the I2C port with 700uF on +/- cabel powered from a separate UB
This may seem like a really basic problem, and no doubt many of you will be telling me that i have set things up wrongly. I have been through the wiki about 8 times checking, double checking and octi-checking every parameter i can think of, bu
I am a electronics professional.with 6 years of exp .I am interested in learning to design and develop my own quadcopter,I am quite familar with microcontroller programming (C program),the electronic hardware .I would like someone to help me whic
I need help (please) setting up connection between an Arducopter 2.8, an RCtimer bluetooth module, and an Android tablet running 4.4.2. I would like to plan and fly simple "missions" using the tablet only as the interface for mission planning - no ne
I have been trying to change the "P" in the altitude section but for some reason it will not change. Right now its 1.000 and I was going to change it to 1.2 or 1.3 but when I change the setting and click write parameters it returns back to the 1.000.
Had an interesting event happen the other day. While flying in auto on a mapping mission, the copter (an s900, pixhawk, AC3.2.1) did some unanticipated roll movements during a turn at a way point. It proceeded straight along the flight plan as plan
I want to be able to use the SET_POSITION_TARGET_GLOBAL_INT MAV link message to control my Hexacopter's velocity/ location with a secondary on-board controller. The idea of this being that I can then play around with code on a more powerful pl
I thought others might be interested: On Monday we flew a selection of quads and hexicopters in the path of an X-Band weather radar in order to determine whether the radar could see them and if so, how well.
