Hi everyone I'm having a problem with setting up power mangement with ArdupilotOne (ardurover):

I was looking at the ardupilot mega wiki on how to configure the voltage senso

Basically for the IMU and Motherboard I am using (Arduino) I need to take the power from a 1000mAh 11.1v Lipo battery and convert it to a 3.3v power source for the boards. However, I also need this same battery to power four brushless motors

I have an APM with a Foxtrot IMU and my Z gyro has stopped working for the second time. The first time I sent it back to Jordi and he returned it saying all was good - nothing wrong with it. Well, that was a bit embarrasing - I though I was goi

I am new to this and got a working ArduPilotMega soldered together and flashed with the current APM release 2.1.2. Sensor output looks reasonable from the CLI test utility. I would like to hook up my APM on ground to qGroundControl (0.8.3-build24)

I am not able to read airspeed with the latest version of the GCS. 1.2.109
Airspeed tests ok in the CLI.
Is there an option in the GCS to enable airspeed?
Thanks

When I engage Alt hold the quad climbs a little bit and drops again, then goes up but a little further. Then goes down again and the distance keeps getting bigger.
I only use baro.
Which PID has influence on this vertical oscillation?

Would be fun to have bicopter support (Avatar type).
Two rotors and two servos outputs.
Servos outputs would need diffential mixing.

Hey all,I'm just getting started -- I've never flown an RC aircraft before, but I've got 3 months time off coming up and I want to dive in with both feet. I'm a professional programmer with a lot of Android experience, so I went to the San Mateo, CA

I have 2 quick question, I got a predator on his way 74" from Hking in which I ve planned to set up 2 x 5000mAh batteries that weight around 500gr each.
( Google says 500 grams = 17.636981 ounces )
Do you think that this is something doable
Hi all,
I was wondering what happens if you do not use the IMU.
Can the Ardupilot still fly just not autonomously? or is the imu nessacary?
If I were to make my own IMU what all information would I need to send to the Red Board? (acceleration, attitu

I am using the ArduPilot Mega kit. I wanted to connect a Gumstix to the ATMega 1280 chip via the I2C port. But I just figured out that the magnetometer also uses the I2C only (it is connected via the IMU shield).
So, is there any other I2C port
I want to take off the current board on the Ar Drone and put on the ArduPilot motherboard (the red one). I am making my own IMC oil pan for it as well as my own position sensors. The reason I am wanting to Mod the AR is to save some $.

I thought I had bought one x4, but was instead a Q4, representing a Chinese copy. Doesanyone know the model and knows where to buy new motor for it?
Been researching for a couple of months now for a UAV project. However I have only been into rc cars for the past 10 years and never flown a plane so I will need to learn first. I have read that the Hawk Sky is a great platform to start off with and
