hey guys,
i have built an IMU of my own design into my homebrew RC system on a fixed wing airframe.
i am using a MMA7260 accelerometer on an ebay "prototype PCB" along with some rate Gyros for the IMU which is proving quite robust while gliding.
the pro
I'm working with IMU3000 though EV_INVARM and I want to receive accelerometer + gyro information when I turn on IMU3000. Board is just sending gyro data:
What's a nice starter kit for getting into Arduino programming? I'm looking for something that can get me going as I figure out more, and that includes enough components "in the box" so I can blink an LED, etc.
Will I need anything extra to control a
Hi,
I have a quick (and proberly stupid) question. I have written some code to read the PWM signal from an rc receiver. See below. As expected the data ranges are from 900 to 2000, or 0.9ms to 2.0ms. I would like to run a loop in the arduino (which co

Hey,
Hi guys,
I have experimented with Uavdb2 only a little bit, and am wondering if the attitude that is stored in the first 10 seconds is being relied upon on for the entire flight.
Do the acellerators only determine the default attitude for each flight?
Read more…I was wondering if there is a way to use the AeroQuad Configurator with the ArduCopter?? The AQC has a bunch more features and seems more newbie friendly. Please let me know if this is possible to do.
Thanks!

Hello my name is Michael,
I am starting to build an Arducopter. So i soldered everything as discribed on the arducopter page.
But i have the same problem with my new oilpan and ardupilot mega as decribed in this post http://diydrones.com/forum/topic
Read more…So, I've been digging into the ArduPilotMega (Beta 1.0) code to get a better understanding of how it works. I figure that it will help out in troubleshooting any problems I might have, but the real reason is that I'd like to modify the code to suit m

I am making my UAV using the Ardu Pilot Megga, so far so good, I am looking to by a nice Video camera for the aircraft, does anyone know of a great system that works well?

I am going to build my own quad. But i need alot of basic information, which i can not find.
I know there is alot of info, but i need really basic information. I do not know anything about which ampere on esc and which motor i should choose and so on

Actually Im wornking on 4 TNY Plush 30A mods! but I have a question for someone who wanna help me in this... Im trying to desolder the voltage regulators but i think my technique is not working... I applied heat with the soldering iron on top of them
Read more…I see from the UAVDevBoard detail that it is capable of controlling three servos and although further servos can be used they have to go via the radio.
Looking at the datasheet of the dsPIC30f4011 is there not the facility to have more than three auto
