I look through this forum and I think all posts are from 2009 so i hope BlimpDuino is not old hat. As I am new to all things 'Duino" and all of RC I have a couple of questions: How can one test a servo without hooking up to the board?
I'm pretty sure
I tried to use NMEA gps with AP2.7 (svn revision 1272) and run into a strange problem:if I set GPS_PROTOCOL to 0, and load resulting code into AP, then AP failed to init.In the serial monitor I can see only few first lines of the initialization outpu

Has anybody seen this behavior before. When the MediaTek MT3329 is hooked up I see some sort of noise in the read outs. Several of the indicator jump at a specific intervals. I’m able to run both the NMEA and MTK Binary test code ok and reports bac

My question is regarding the DCM algorithm:
I have simulated Bill's DCM algorithm in MatLAB/Simulink, and it seems, that direct integratio
Hello, I found some problems with some units Towerpro servos used for the APM, the servos are GS-90 and MG-16, Towerpro.
The problem I found is that they go mad and out of control, both manual and any other way.
However, in other units installed in the

This version includes some great bug fixes - thank you beta testers. I've included a new feature for managing altitude changes. Expect to see smooth lines between waypoints instead of the full throttle approach right after hitting a waypoint. This wa

Not sure this is the right place to post this, but has anyone calculated/estimated the moment of inertia in pitch (Iyy) of the easystar.
Thanks.

The Ardupilot allows you to have multiple flight modes of which I would actually only need 2 and downsizing has already been discussed but downsizing irrelevant code is not what I want/need.
Could I have two sets of autopilot code one setup for fast

I have a delta wing and dont care about crashing it. Only having ailerons means it doesnt exactly function normally so I curious. I am wondering if I can balloon launch it then at altitude (2,000ft) release for a glide.

So I am planning on using the ArduIMU(flat) and still want to use the airspeed sensor. I don't want to buy the shield. I can't seem to find anything on just using a stand alone airspeed sensor with the ArduPilot. I'm sure it can be done since the

I am trying to interface an ArduPilot Shield V2 with an ArduPilot mega and am having a bit of confusion as to which pins I need to tap into on the Shield. All I need to utilize right now is the airspeed sensor, which I believe has its analog

Just wanted to confirm which would be the correct airspeed sensor to use with APM.
I have been looking at this one in the store http://store.diydrones.com/product_p/br-0004-03.htm will this work ok with the APM?
Thanks,

Does anyone have some instructions/advices on soldering this GPS (http://store.diydrones.com/product_p/mt3329-01.htm) on the Adapter (http://store.diydrones.com/product_p/br-0014-01.htm).
Sorry if it's a trivial question, but I got none electronics kn
I was trying to cal my ESC's. having a hard time because the ESC's are powering the board. So I thought to myself (never a good idea ) why not run power to it directly. I had a servo wire lying around so I put +V to the red and -V to the black. plug
