In another discussion entitled "Prop Noise Comparisons" James Pistorino asks about the prop size vs. noise factor. This got me curious about something else, to which the answer seems intuitive, but I was wondering if anyone had real-world confirmati

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

I am using the Futaba 7C

Shield Compatable
It's freakin' easy to use!
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

There are some really cool FPV setups out there now, with head tracking goggles and everything. Now I think it would be really cool if you could interface a flight simulator joystick with a plane, as opposed to the standard two-joystick/toggle switch

Hi All:
Does someone has experience on Sparkfun FTDI basic 5V (http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9115)?
Can I use it + a normal usb cable for testing the ArduIMU+ v2? I check the port and voltage and should b

I have been out of the loop for some time but am now in the process of putting together a new ardupilot. I went looking for the version of the Configtool that is in the instructions which is supposed to be in the Google code repository. However I c

I'm looking to use a MPXV5004DP sensor connected through a PIC to do certain things based on airspeed, in terms of the PIC and the ADC etc internally I kinda know what I'm doing, however, what I'm stumped on is the math used to get the airspe

Hi,
I am flying my ardupilot in a fast Elektro junior S, It runs ardupilot 2.4 and I have a FV-M8 GPS and DIY drones termopiles.
The question is:
How fast can be the attitute data rate and position datarate set without overloading the Arduino?

I have read on the forum of varius IMU ad ARDUIMU 6DOF o Razor IMU 9DOF or an hack of ARDUIMU with a magnetometer ad a barometric sensor .
