Hi All,
this is Jan from http://www.diy-streetview.org.
I do streetview as a hobby.
Recently I noticed diydrones.com when searching for a solution to a leveling challenge. My 5-camera-rig is attached to a backpack. I take images while walking, without s
I posted the following over on RC groups and thought it would be good to post this here as well.
I have a comment and suggestion regarding the yaw control.
In the ArduCopter code, the code's roll and pitch handling is awesome in stable mode, but the
I have an Autopilotmega, and an IMU with GPS. Air sensor, Xbee telemitry, and video. I am just setting things up and getting everything working. I put everything together, and load the latest code. When I run the GCS I notice that that I get telemetr

> if (FAILSAFE_ACTION == 1){
set_mode(RTL);
throttle_cruise = THROTTLE_CRUISE;
So let's say if when switched to AUTO the plane now flies out of the RC Tx's range (out of s

Its ok. I'm the Mom here.
The quad has a tendancy to roll fairly quickly once in the air.
I tried several times and its not all ways on the same quadrant.
Any ideas?

Is it possible to view barometric pressure via the on-board data logger. I have NTUN, CTUN, RAW, GPS, PM, MODE, MODE, CMD enabled.
I have looked in each of these using the APM Planner log browser but can't seem to find data relative to on board

I walk through datasheets of the different GPS modules, and I have some questions :
- velocicy/speed provided in the NMEA messages are they always doppler speed, or can they be for some modules derived from positions ?
- some modules claim a 0,1 m

i was just wondering if i could use a FM transmitter/receiver (72MHz or other) which is compatible with the APM(Ardupilot Mega). which comes with a standard arducopter KIT.
if not then plz suggest me Rx/Tx which does not work at 2.4Ghz

Hi! I got the arducopter kit with the ultimate aim of using it for aerial imaging.
Been flying the arducopter for a while indoor. Had two crashes with one resulting in propeller cut in half and the other twisting the aluminum arms. Had to replace the

It would be neat if the advanced search in members would allow searching X miles from a zipcode. So there are 13000 people on here, what's a good way to locate
