I am a bit confused on how Mission Planner deals with the verify height option. If I generate my waypoints via Survey (Grid) then check verify height, all of my waypoint altitude values are unchanged. However if verify height is checked before I gene
what about a quadcopter that looks at the ceiling with an ultrasonic eye & uses it as a height reference? this could be implemented quickly. ceilings tend to be unobstructed & level and would give a good reflection, even variations such as light fitt

my AC3.2.1 copter yaws into the wind when in forward flight and a crosswind, which is normal I suppose...but the problem is then the camera gimbal is not facing straight forward in direction of travel!! I need to film straight roads and this is not l
My pixhawk calibrates the accels fine on 3.2 but fails on 3.3-rc8. I note in the release logs that the sensitivity was increased to 16g - could this be related? Were the tolerances also updated?
Having issues with consistently getting Aero/Pxhk to spin the motor up to full speed when set to Auto and a mission loaded. I have basically set TKOFF_THR_MINACC and TKOFF_THR_MINSPD to 0(zero). Sometimes the motor will spin up with a quick forward t
I started with the new Pixhack, Flashed the AC3.2.1.
After a successful flight I want to flash AC3.3-rc8, unfortunately I clicked OK before the Musik Tone was done. So I want to be sure that everything goes right and want
The Quad D frame a.k.a. 2014 Quad Frame is listed as out of stock on the 3DR website. In the past I've been able to order even when something was listed as out of stock.
Am I correct in assuming 3DR is no longer going to be selling that? Also will a n

I have minimosd extra plugged into Telem 2 on the pixhawk everything is working apart from the number of satellite and GPS lock only appears when the copter is armed. Everything works if i plug the osd into Telem 1
I'm setting up a mapping UAV. Skywalker with pixhawk. I have installed a flatmap gimbal to stabilize camera for better results but have not been able to figure out how to connect it to the Pixhawk. I know that connections RC9/10 are used for roll and
So I recently set up a quad using (similar to) @Patrick Duffy's long-range wifi system. So basically a Raspberry Pi running MAVProxy acting as both a communications radio and live feed transmitter back to my command center. I also wrote a short scr
I'm looking for guidance or direction on what complete system (drone platform and software) that would be ideal for mapping 2D/3D geo rectified orthophotos and obtaining elevation data. I'm hoping
I own A DJI Phantom FC40. I am looking for an alternative FPV system to replace the FC40 camera. Also, I would like to get something with telemetry so I know what altitude I am flying and it’s not too expensive.
I have two rather large Aerial Photography platforms outfitted with Pixhawks. One runs on 6s and the other on 12s. I need to solve the voltage sensing problem.
In both cases, I have no interest in sensing current (partially because it would ju
I sometimes get high GPS_HDOP values (i.e. above 2) so naturally my copter (3DR X8+) fails the pre-arm check. However, once the copter goes up a few meters, I imagine the signal will get better in most instances. So I was wondering if it’s possible
