Hey I'm looking to develop a GPS positioning system similar to an Owasys Wireless Telemetry Unit.
Can anbody help by recommending a wireless embedded module for this device? I'm looking to connect via GSM/GPRS and enable GPS positioning I understand t
Hi,
Was out at test site yesterday preparing for maiden flight. I powered the system with the plane level and waiting until the flishing lights on the IMU went out.
The airframe was a boomerang 40 high wing trainer with an SC40 IC engine upfront and F
The EasyStar is a nice and stable platform but with it having rudder and elevator its manoeuvring capabilites leave some with the want for more. The physical modifications to the plane are pretty easy stuff however the servo control is more of a comp

Digikey price is $262
Mouser price is £193

I want to build a remote-controlled blimp UAV. In terms of control, it will have a Via Epia V10000 motherboard running Ubuntu Linux. The motherboard will have a webcam plugged in to send pictures back to base (I'm thinking of powering it via a

Hi All,
would like to know what is the best plane for arduino-mega.
I would like to have enought space for a video/camera (was thinking 5.6 ghz), telemetry (900mhz)
and rc (36khz or 2.4ghz) .
It seems that eazy glider was the best platform for ardupilot
Hey guys, it's great to meet you all. I'm new to UAV technology. I currently fly RC electric helicopters.
A thought that occurred to me recently: is it possible to use the spare parts that a lot of RC shops sell, or maybe a semi-dismantled RC transmitter handset, to make your own transmitter? As in, build something from an Arduino/BeagleBoard/Gumstix/cus

Althought it seems to me it's the first question that comes in mind when building a multirotor, there's not really much interest in determining which is the best design (deppending on the use) on the net.
I only could find some tri/quad
Hi Guys
Does anyone have any model plans for the INTEGRATOR UAV?
Anyone have any idea what the wing sweep angle is on this airframe (?) – have looked high and low on the internet, but like most unique model design spec (other than for basic data/dimens

I have EM406 GPS, XBEE, Ardupilot, XY and Z sensor. How should I stick them onto my airplane so that the hardware is neat and firm? I am now using Styrofoams
Is there a way to read the coordinates for the RTL / Home waypoint? Can I send a command via the ttl cable to get the coordinates? I have stabilize and both flybywire options tuned for my easystar. However when testing RTL the plane appears to go int

hello all,
i am just setting up my ardupilot and i have some questions (maybe a dumb one)
1) ardupilot takes the throttle, ailerons and elevator. is it possible to plug a rudder and pan and tilt direct to the receiver ?
