Someone please explain to me what I'm missing here. As I understand it when you have "over terrain" checked, the altitude you enter in "Alt(to hold)" is added to the ASL altitude of each way-point. So that would mean that the altitude for each of my
In ArduPilot 2.6, the RTH and after the last waypoint in Auto the airplane comes back to the home position and circles overhead at what looks to me around 50 feet above the ground or so. Where in the code can I change the height in which it fly's ab

Our lab is trying to develop an autopilot for a fixed wing UAV capable of flight in GPS denied environments (as a follow on to our work with the quadrotors, that's been highlighted on this site previously). We would like to continue using our intel a
I've played with my new Ardumega board and its shield, looked at the trunk codes for ArduPilot and Arducopter, but I haven't seen any project about a single rotor code, for ex a regular collective pitch like the eflite blade sr (I own one).
I'm looking for anyone's experience using the Multiplex FunJet as a UAV platform. They have a new Ultra Fun Jet coming out soon with stronger Epalor foam and CF spars.
The main page has one pictured but I never hear anyone talking about using it?
Hello fellow DIYers. I have finally decided to act on my dream of creating a UAV, and I thought I'd start out by asking what is probably a often-asked question from beginners:
How do you remain in contact with a UAV when it isn't in line-of-sight? (Fo
After stumbling onto Terence Bordelon's EZStar UAV site, Rabbit-Hole's WASP, and SilvertoneUAV, I'm hooked! I'd love to build (or buy ready made) a <$1000 uav system! But with so many choices it's a bit overwhelming... especially if you don't know
I am having trouble with some labview based aps. I have downloaded and installed the latest LV runtime drivers linked to in the Ardupilot manual. The latest GCS works fine. The older GS does,t work any more as well as the ardu-imu demo. I get an erro
My team and I ordered a GPS unit from DIYdrones (GS407) for replacement in our Ardupilot/Easystar setup (The first got trashed in an unfortunate meeting with a building at 100ft.) The unit was ordered to be Ardupilot compatible, and would not plug an
Hello everbody,I am on my first drone project and i would like to know how do you people do to relay the rc Rx to the servo with a micrrocontroler ?my 18f runs on 32 mhz and the program that i have made to relay the rc rx would only be giving me 1.4
i want to ask regarding the ground station.first of all1)while we are giving GPS data input to the auto-pilot kit,will we have to give an input to the xstream zigbee for importing the data to the ground station.2)while we are transmitting data from u
