I think this AeroQuad project is an excellent platform for a DIY drone, from looking at their website. I have been evaluating which way to go with these Multi-rotor aircraft as there are some good looking projects out there.
Thought I'd start some info flow on Canadian UAV activity and hopefully focus on non-combat uses.
These are a few links that popped up first when I did a search.

HI,
reading thru the ardupilot 's wiki on google code I came across this very intresting feature, the ability of uploading P and I values to the ardupilot via Xbee

is the only page where I was able to
Guys Im having a big issue with ardupilot 2.5.xx:
No matter what, my NMEA gps, wich works perfectly with ardupilots till 2.4.xx, will not obtain lock.
Any idea/suggestion?
thankyou very much
Could I use j2Se Socket to make Xbee communication? Could Xbee device assign an Ip address on the Pc end?

I want it to simulate with JSBSim and also I am going to use DATCOM.
If anyone who has worked this easystar model with JSBsim, is it possible that you, please, give me the data input of the easystar model for JSBS
I am in the process of building my first plane and at the design phase, giving thought to motors (outrunner mainly).
There are so many available "brands" out there...does anyone have recommendations for good quality motors in the 400 class that are we
i bought the arduimu v2 flat,the EM406 gps,the connector,the cable and the ftdi cable.
i connected them right with "clear sky" but the gps doesn't working.....
what to do ??????????
I know that some commercial UAVs have a feature which allows the pilot to choose a vehicle and the UAV tracks/follows it.On the arudupilot mega, other than a camera, would I need additional hardware to program such a feature?
Read more…I seem to have problems with my new PPM board from DIY.
The blue light is on and NO ppm out.
First 4 channels are connected to the RX.
Does this board come pre-programmed ?
I have also tested with only 3 input CH and 4 input CH
Blue light always on steady
Today i made my first testflights with my Ardupilot setup. It almost worked...
The setup:
* The plane is a high wing aileron trainer with a 160 cm span and lots of wing area. Very stable.
* Ardupilot running ver. 25_04.
* No shield.
* x,y and Z sensor f
It would be nice if diy drones charged delivery at cost or cost + 10%.
300% profit in delivery is a bit of a joke!!
Read more…Hi Guys,
Can the Ardupilot be powered from both a 5V supply or a 6 Volt supply?
If so, how are you regulating the power into the ATMega328?
From my understanding it can't take more than 5.5 Volts.
Does anyone have a circuit diagram?
Thanks in advance!

I would like to build a model airplane out of EPO foam. Once I have a design on CAD, what do I do? I'm not sure what the build process is like.Thanks
Read more…Hi everyone. I have stabilization working pretty well. However, when I switch the ArduPilot into autopilot mode it always turns and heads in a straight line southwest until it gets far enough away that I have to bring it back manually.
Hi All,
I have the 9DOF board running the latest code and am getting the expected output from the serial port. My question is this: Is there a software (windows prefered) program to graphically display the position data from the board for testing pu

The Fly-By-Wire and Stabilize modes of ArduPilot make amazing teachingaids, especially FBW as it's difficult then for even the most ineptbeginner to get the aircraft into too much trouble.
With that in mind and an old 168 APv1 board that's doing nothi
