3rd flight with APM on-board today, only the 2nd time I've turned it on while in the air.
Just a small note that I was able to use the Ardupilot Mega in an experimental setup with FlightGear. I ported the XPlane 0.43 software to Linux C (using autotools). The trouble was finding out that a simple "usleep" wouldn't cut it, but that reading

Hi all,
Hi all,
I'm about to start a project on making my first autopilot! From what I've read so far, thermopiles are fairly accurate and not susceptible to noise such as vibration whereas the IMU is. However, from most autopilots that I've seen, neither ar

Hi guys.. I am testing my GPS with ardupilot and shield. But I wonder why I could not read any data.
I can only read ""Still Waiting: No Valid Fix"" from the serial monitor.
What are the reasons for this problem?
