GPS with Mega?

I assembled the ArduPilot Mega and oilpan, and everything seems to work except for the GPS.  I'm using the 1Hz EM-406A, and tried connecting to both the oilpan 6-pin connector, and the ADP mega connector, but I don't get any output when running the G

Ardustation battey voltage display issue. Help needed please!

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

Voltage measurement for Shield V2 Airspeed Sensor and Battery Monitor

Where is the best place to take the 5v measurement, to provide accurate readings from the pressure sensor and the battery monitor?

Is there a better place than at the GPS heaader shown in  red above?

Will this reading be appropriate for both the batter

Why Analog Offsetting in DCM derivatives (ArduImu, Razor9DOF, Kixrazor)?

Hi all (especially Bill & Doug)
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,

Drone questions

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

Ardupilot+IMU+EM406 No GPS light on the Ardupilot

So, I had everything working fine just before the equipment was installed in the airframe, now when the hardware is powered up all the lights are functioning correctly but when the IMU locks the gps light on the ardupilot stops blinking and goes off?

Turnigy ESC beeps

I assembled APMega into a EasyStar.

Its early days with the programming but radio test code works - i.e. supplies different values as sticks moved.

The Turnigy ESC beeps alot (mainly a 1Hz beep-beep-beep constant). This beep is constant except when the

Right now I just look at the ascii output.
You cant compile with output standard GCS data.
Can I help someware ?

Don't ever brick your xbee again! This is a hardware solution. Easy to do!

Hey everybody,

This is a reprint of a reply I made in "Corrupting xBee during Ardupilot initialization". I thought it would help to bring this solution out in it's own discussion. So far I have only tested it on the bench, but I don't see any reason w

Inflating blimpduino

Folks,

I have build my Blimpduino but I'm having trouble working out how to inflate the envolope.  I have a little bit that sticks out of the side, which looks like a hole covered in transparent plasic.  As far as I can tell, this bit is sealed from t
