I am planning on building an UAS.
The idea is this. Have a autopilot with the required sensors connected to a mission computer. The mission computer will control other sensors and ground communication.
The first choice is the autopilot. I was thinking
Hi all,
Now I building twin boom pusher type like Searcher II UAV.This is my UAV specfications.

engine 2.8Hp
overall lenght 6 ft
I wanna to incline or slope 10 degree for Vertical stablizer.May I know 10 degree is
Hi everybody,
Hi all. So I am building my first APM system, and I am unclear on how airspeed is measured. All of the pages where the APM is sold say something like "AirSpeed sensor port (optional, sold separately)" in the product description. What airspeed se

Hello,
I have been using the ardupilot for a while in an easyglider and just kinda throw all of my stuff inside. I am starting to buy the parts for the Ardupilot Mega and was curious if the IMU/main board needs to be place at the C.G. of the plane to
Is this possible to do on the Arduino Pilot Mega? Mine suffered an accident while programming it and i get Out of Sync and other errors now. If it is, which are the pins?
Can my lib files be out of date. Problem seams to be with the APM_RC.h lib file. It is at v 48

I've a rotorcraft and a remote control. (sorry i am so new and dont know many thg).
I dont understand about PID controller( i just know it use to tunning for performance), is it a kind of electronic circuit ?
is it sthg exist physically or it just pro

I am experiencing some trouble with my new ArduStation! I wired the + terminal of my 6s LiPo (22.2v nominal) in series with an additional 164k ohms resistor(s). That makes the divider 100/(240+100+164)*25.2=5, so the max volts at the divider output i

Is there a better place than at the GPS heaader shown in red above?
Will this reading be appropriate for both the batter

I wonder why "analog" offsetting is done for the gyros and accelerometers at program start? Why not filling omega_I with appropriate startup values instead? This way the code gets a bit leaner and kind of legacy-free.

Hi everyone,
If one wanted to communicate with a drone from a remote location, would it be possible using a 3g internet device, like virgin mobiles broadband2go so that your drone could receive commands? If so, this would greatly add to the distance a drone could
