Arduino Low Pass Filter Error

Hey guys!.
So basically, I wrote a complementary filter in Arduino, and have uploaded it onto my board. I have a three axis IMU, three axis magnetometer, GPS, barometer, differential pressure and Ultrasonic which run at 50Hz, 50Hz, 1Hz, 9Hz, 10Hz and

Test Suite : Throttle Test~

Hey all, I was trying to test the "Throttle Test" from the test suite, the values of the ch1, 2 and 3 should go according to the position of my transmitter?
Because the values of the 3 channels does not change, it kept constant at a certain value.
And

What is average flighttime for Quadcopters?

Is it 15 minutes roughly? How can I increase it to an hour or 45 minutes or such? I have absolutely no rc experience but am looking for a quad that is easy to fly and can fly for at least 30 minutes using ardupilot to take advantage of autonomous fli

Initial Airframe-Fuselage Research

Here I go with a inicial research of airframe with a universal fuselage, that can be
used with different wings. I am interested in UAV lifted  way high  by a balloon and
then glide down , similar in shape  like spaceship 1.

Recommended Arducopter battery

I have a question about the Li-Po battery options for the upcoming Arducopter quad kit. I was reading the Aeroquad tutorial to get an idea of what I should buy and they recommend using the HobbyKing 4400 mAh for the Aeroquad. However, I have seen som

GREAT success with APM today

3rd flight with APM on-board today, only the 2nd time I've turned it on while in the air.

FlightGear flying with Ardupilot Mega

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

Arduino Pro + ArduIMU based QuadRotor Helicopter

Am trying to start a Quad rotor Helicopter with Arduino Pro + ArduIMU. Please provide me with Arudino code. I have planned to use only ArduIMU with its native code, can anyone make it to extended Kalman filter for better stability.I need to have a si

Issues with eflite ESC?

Has anyone had any issues with using an eflite brushed ESC? I have a 20amp one installed in my HobbyZone SuperCub LP and the APM constantly resets itself by power cycling. I also have issues with the APM freezing on the control surfaces for a second

APM - Poor startup behavior

Hi all,

Thermopiles and IMU

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

WHICH WING - REAR DELTA with FRONT CANARD?

Some questions ...............

I’m in the early stages of investigating different airframe possibilities – looking at the pros & cons of different layouts, shapes, sizes, wing profiles etc etc ……… which inevitably leads to a whole bunch of questions

Roll & Pitch calculation Assistance

Hi guys, I recently bought myself a gyro & accelerometer to use with my Arduino Duemilanove to calculate roll & pitch. I read that I need to use Kalman filters etc but can't find any sample codings of how to use it, does anyone have any samples or ti
