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
I'm looking for some RC equipment for my next UAV. My question is what kind of range will I get out of a basic $100 2.4Ghz system? The Xbee modules work up to 6 miles. Can I get that kind of range with an amplifier or some other solution? Or could I
As I get progressively closer to having my own UAV in the air, I am starting to worry about the safety and legal aspects of my vehicle. I will be using a 5 foot wingspan foam glider, outfitted with a propeller and ArduPilot equipment. I will be flyin
I want to measure the voltage on my battery with the ArduPilot. I followed the instructions in the manual. I soldered a wire from the conductor noted in the manual, to the positive terminal of my battery connection. When I start everything up m
My Xbee 900 Pro wire antenna, suddenly stopped working last night. I made no changes to anything. I have it on my plane side with the ArduPilot and EM406. I tested communications coming from my ArduPilot with the FTDI cable and it is outputing clear
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
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
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
Hi, does version 2.6 support RC aircraft's with with four channels. The reason being i will be using the Apprentice 15e RTF. If not how do i modify the code, or even better does anyone have a modified code? (please excuse my "noob" or "outrageous" que
Hi, for my own Autopilot, I will buy the Venus GPS of Sparkfun. Does anybody have practical knowledge with this modul? Is it possible to connect the TXRX pins directly with the Arduino TXRX pins? I also don't understand the binary messages, what do I
Hi, I am building my own autopilot for my RC Boat. I am trying how to calculate a course between the heading given by the GPS and a final point. I tryed the sphericaltriangle but, it is very difficult. Are there any other ways to calculate the course
I posted this in another forum but I thought it might be more relevant here.
Any interest in the ArduCopter with an ArduPilotMega board with Wiinunchuch and Wii motion plus for IMU, a Ping sonar unit for hovering,and all motors, props,frame, wires, fo
