Hey all,
I have some questions about driving a tracking antenna with Ardustation. Jordi's Blog Post "New Ardustation Code: Now with Pan/Tilt Tracking Antenna" , has a lot of questions posted but not a lot of answers. It hasn't seen a lot of activity i
While researching video systems for a recent project, I stumbled across something I had completely forgotten about Amateur TV systems.
Amateur TV is limited to those who hold a Technician Class or higher amateur radio license. If you don't have a lic
Hello everyone!
We equipped an easy-star with an ArduPilot (with Shield V2) and AttoPilot XYZ IR-sensors, ArduPilot software 2.5 and 2.6 was used. We are using a HITEC optic6sport transmitter and a HITEC HFS-05MS receiver.
The problem is that when we

Hi there guys,
Hi,
the ardupilot mega shield seems like a nice IMU but I dont need the Pilot board, so I'd like to put it on an arduino mega, which I already have.
Can the ardupilot mega shield be fitted easily on an Arduino Mega?
thanx

Hello,
I had a hard landing today and I noticed after I got home that my Ublox GPS is missing the antenna cap. I won't be able to go back to where I was flying for at least a week to search for it. Is this something that is replaceable? I thought I saw anot

This is just a very simple example of how you can use LabVIEW to readjoystick information ( and perform actions based on the input). In this
case I used Play Station 2 controler but any joystick can be used.
