Hey guys, is it possible to upload program wirelessly with XBEE? If yes, how do I do the connection?
Because I wish to do an enhancement of my project. I've been tracking each color pin of the FTDI but I could not really understand how to do this, if
What happens if you get DOA electronics from any of the DIY stores?
The simple answer is nothing at all, and you should not expect to get a refund or a repair. This is why (qouted from the terms here at the DIYdrones store) :

Is there a group/person working on, or is anyone interested in working on, developers documentation?
I'll start by saying I'm new to this project.
So, as a way of getting familiar with everything, I've been studying both the hardware and software by r
Hello everybody,
Today I soldered all the electronics components for my Arducopter and when I tested rc inputs I have found a strange problem:
After loading Arducopter alpha 1.0 I tested it with Configurator. Adc work properly, but nothing on the mot
This is a general programing issue, not flying. I was adding some functions to a experimental version of 2.7. Things didn't work so I started adding Serial.print statements at certain points for de-bugging purposes. Ther was a lot of stuff printing o

First, the axis are :
- X forward
- Y to the right wing
- Z to down
So it's a right handed system, don't it ?
Finally I'd like to

I have read about ardupilot and how it works. I would like to dvelop a pilot for a sailing vessel.
There are several points that make me doubt about using ardupilot, but maybe you can resolve them:
