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?

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

I am trying to use a magnetometer as a reference vector for yaw drift cancellation in the direction cosine matrix.
Ok, so here's the nuts and bolts. If I measure a three axis magnetic vector in the aircraft frame of reference, the directi
Has anyone done anything with out using GPS. Before you criticize me and ask why I would ever want to do that...I want to use the ArduPilot to power a small submarine where GPS is not readily available. I've been reading documentation and it seems

Dear All:
I just bought a ArduIMU v1 board and tend to build up an GPS-aided AHRS. Instead of the sensor boards, I tend to integrate an ADIS 16405 sensor with the board. The final aim is to integrate both the DCM algorithm and the accuracy of
