Does any body know what calculations are needed to integrate a 3 axisgyro and a 3 axis accelerometer? I am trying to follow the followinglink but I got lost in the last part where it says something aboutarrays then all items come to arrays without an
Simple question....there was a picture posted in a discussion here a awhile back showing the ArduIMU+ V2 connected to both the SPC1000 pressure sensor and the HMC5843 magnetometer. I've been searching for it for about an hour, can't seem to find it.
When I was flying recently, some how the antennas on the futaba 7c faast receiver scraped on something when I landed outside of the plane and now the silver tips on each antenna(about 1 and one half inch long) are now gone. Can I look at the manual a
I have an ArduIMU V2 Flat and a Ublox gps module with the adafruit gps adapter. What is the best solution to add data logging ability to the ArduIMU to record GPS and roll, pitch, yaw data from the IMU? Should I go with the GPS Shield data logger fro
My hawk sky is made from EPO foam and the decals that come with it aren't very eye candyish so I was wondering what type of paint I could use to brighten it up?? Are spray paints good or what should I use?
I have two identical pairs of ESC & brushless motor combinations. The ESC's spin both motors at different speeds for the same duty cycle. I'm using an arduino and the analogWrite() function to send PWM signals to each ESC. An input of 127 equals 5
My Idea is to have a UAV that is piloted by a PC based auto pilot. The hardware i was thinking of is a VIA based nano-itx form factor motherboard using USB or serial plug in sensors. My question is that i have not been able to find any open source au
Ok, right now I have a futaba 7c 2.4ghz transmitter set to fail-safe mode, so if the radio signal is lost, the throttle is supposed to stop correct? However, if I put power to my airplane and motor while my transmitter is turned off...the throttle go
Jordi and the team have diagnosed the issue users are having with the reset button on the ArduPilot Mega IMU shield not working. Here's what we've found:

Today, I decided to upgrade the stock firmware of my ArduIMU V2 (Flat) board to 1.7. Looks to be that the code compiled well, then I was met with the following message...
This is my second attempt to get this working right. I just received my second Ardupilot board, the first I am sure I had an ESD that cooked the MUX. With experience behind me and the second board in front of me I proceeded to assemble the boa

I am part of a JPL team studying the upper atmosphere. Our plan is to take our test apparatus up in a helium balloon to 15 km and then, after it does its thing, we want to drop it in some kind of a UAV and have it return to us. The vehicle has to b
