Hi!
I am basically starting off from where my seniors left their projectlast year. At the moment I have a 6 channel RC helicopter with GPS andGyro modules attached to it. My target is to design/develop a remotemobile station for the control of this UA
Hi,
I am designing a QuadCopter based on the ArduPilot and just wanted to check that the ESC's which I require do not have to be I2C? They can be just standard off the shelf ones (PWM?). The I2C is a future feature, right? - I have seen some comments
After turning myself inside out trying to find out what is wrong with my APM setup i finally realized that my ATMega328 chip is fried. Fortunately i have a spare APM so i will still be able to take part in testing. :)
My question is how this could hap

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

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?
