Hi,
I have managed to get my model (skywalker) flying quite well in both stabilized and fly by wire mode, but I have a problem with the throttle. It doesn't seem to work.
For testing purposes I wired the throttle direct to the rx so I could control it.
I've converted the windows Avionics Controls Demo that I blogged about recently to ArduPilot format.
It turns out to be a good experiment for my mini gound station project.
I could do with some help deciding which values should be displayed
For examp

I recently got a 3 cell 11.1V 20C zippy lipo from hobbyking. I was trying to find the right charge rate to use, but I couldn't find anything on hobbyking that said what rate to use. Do you guys have any recommendations?

I am a total noob when it comes to aerial video. I have a basic understanding of the required hardware, but no experience to guide me in the selection process.
Here's what I have:
Autopilot:
Ardupilot V2
Ardushield V2
ArduIMU+
ublox 5 GPS
xbee 900
Hi, if i can wire the mediatek 10hz gps correctly to the adapter board will everything work, or does the code have to be changed as well?
If the code has to be changed, what part of it do i change? (will it be a lot)
please consider i know very little
Hey all,
Can somebody confirm this for me? I am using a 6s Lipo (25.2 volts Max when fully charged) to provide power for my motor. I want to monitor the battery voltage with the GCS, attaching the battery + to the monitor pin on the shield V2 will req
Hi,
I want to buy the Venus GPShttp://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9133.I read the Information about the NMEA for the communication between
Arduino and GPS. I read that the GPS shows me my Heading. Is that right?
Ifyes, is it p
I found some notes at www.acma.gov.au. Does this sound as though UAV telemetry at 900 MHz is allowed in Australia?
Are the Arduino devices spread spectrum?
From ACMA:
Frequency bands and power limits for spread spectrum and digital modulation devices

I'm using Ardupilot with V2 shield. Power to the board is by ESC, not by battery. The configuration on the Ardupilot board is thus the "default" PSEL option. I followed the manual and soldered a wire to the indicated jumper to measure the voltage of

Hi everyone,
Is there a good path to 5.8GHz UAV telemetry or a commercial combo?
I'm in Australia so 900MHz is illegal.
The only 5.8 GHz combos I've found being from blip and they are about 3 x as pricey as the Xbee 2.4 GHz telemetry from DiyDrones.

Read more…Hi,
One week ago i purchased a ArduPilot from CoolComponents in the UK. Along with FTDI cable and Shield (with airspeed sensor). I am powering the AP from a Futaba R607FS 2.4Gz receiver and controlling it via a Futaba FF9 with Futaba TM-7 2.4Gz mod
in ur opinion what is popular/typical project can be done..
* camera helicopter , real time video transmitt (eye in sky)
* temp, wind , humidity , GPS sensor
* or just play with it in shining Sunday
I Just bought all the parts for Ardupilot (meaning "everything you"ll need") my plane is a 4chnl plane. If i convert to ardupilot mega, is the intallation the same as in the Manuel. Do i need fiffernt parts?
Hello,
I've been waiting a while to be completed the development of AP and its
imu Mega, I wondered that apart from the Mega AP, IMU and the GPS, which
other material is needed to run correctly on a plane the AP. Thanks

Hi,
I finally got to try my new airframe yesterday. Its the skywalker foam plane that is gaining some popularity especially with the FPV crowd. It seems really stable and a big pussy cat to fly.
Anyway I have a few, probably quite basic questions, on s
