Hi all!
I'm using a MaxSonar EZ1 for range sensing triggering via the RX output pin (and usnig PW for data). I hooked it up and it does provide me with readings. However, I noticed a high degree of fluctuation in the data. The readings would be 51 for
Hi guys, I just managed o burn the matrixPilot v25 into my new UAV v2. I did some testing of the IMU and it seems to work. I have all the docu to read about configuration and groundtesting. I`m planning o try it in a styrofoam glider with a 400 elect

Hi All,
I am a total newbie...
2 weeks ago I met someone who uses an Autopilot. Since then I have been reading (daily) about what's on the market and what the systems do, but I have not seen one in action.
I want to install a safety net to return my r
Read more…I recently purchased the GS407 with the adapter from DIYDRONES. As the Arduino Mega doesn't come with the EM406 connector, I decided to use the 4 breakout pins instead (Ground, VCC, TX and RX). I am trying to receive raw NMEA data from the GS407 but

Greetings,
I bought a couple of these for a project where I'm just using them with an XBee to send GPS info. While the default mode will work, I'd much rather change it to something more suitable. Unfortunately, it appears that the NV RAM has been wr
Hi,
