I would like to create a new Flight Mode for the Launch. I am thinking of adding it to the existing Flight modes. My question is if anybody has done something like that or is working on it.
There are a few steps that have to be done during launch. (e.
Any chance of a 10cm cable on the mini-usb in next APM build version? With it's position I need to pull out the whole 'velcroed' APM each time I want to load or unload.
Also a better mount or a true commercial connector for the telemetry? Mine fall of

I'm testing the the MediaTek GPS module on a project where it is communicating with a dsPIC33F microcontroller.
As understand it, some of the units have been flashed with a custom firmware that communicates with a binary protocol. After figuring out t
Hi, recently I did ground test by holding my ArduPilot, ArduIMU+, MTK GPS(NMEA setting) and XBee in hand and walking around. I found that everything displayed well on ArduPilot GCS, except when I turn myself clockwise or vice versa. Course data onl

I have been wondering if there is a minimum ceiling of operations where a flying uav is not classed as an aeroplane? I was reading about wing-in-ground-effect craft the other day and it was stated that they were classed under maritime legis

my own interest currently is in flight simulation of rotary wing aircraft. I have
recently programmed an old helicopter math model of a UH1-H of 1973 vintage that
was running on an analog computer back then. My program uses matlab/simulink

While I am an avid FPV and hobbyist robotics guy, I wanted to build something that I could take to the lake and send autonomously from way-point to way-point on the lake while maintaining long-distance communication. I guess, firstly, is the Ardu a

If I *CAN* realliably firmware to the ArduIMU time and time again, use the test tool to confirm it works, then surely then can be nothing wrong with my PC setup? FTDI drivers etc etc??? They must be working correct?
Been mucking about with two Ar

I would like to use the HiL Simulation to test the Autopilot and I have a few questions about this stuff.
- do I need the ArduPilot Mega IMU for the HiL Simulation or can I connect only the Ardupilot Mega?
- when I connect the Ardupilot Mega (without I

I was just thinking since the biggest issued with quads is the Fly time and load capacity. Can i just add for small nitro engine from ebay :) well that means i would need a custom frame..
Dear all,
I have a boring but (hopefully) simple question about 6 DOF
IMU...to me the following situation is not completely clear.
Any 6 DOF IMU has accelerometer and gyro on three different perpendicular
axis, ok.
My question is about the Z axiz
Hallo, i'm in state to decide between ArduPilot Mega and ArduPilot. Ardupilot has in optional accesories XY and Z senzors whereas ArduPilot Mega don't. Does it mean that ArduPilot Mega uses for stabilization flight mode something else or it can be st
