I have spent most of the day today going back to square one checkingeverything from solder joints and wiring, to checking code options andreloading all code on the Ardupilot and the ArduIMU+ V2.
The following is a summary of what I have and what has b
I am still scanning through all the posts on the rules and regulations so please be patient with me if I hit on anything previously posted. It is the intent of this post to gain some guidance in regards to light UAV operation in regards to aerial pho
Read more…Hello,
I'm just trying to get to grips with Ardupilot and the code and would very much appreciate a nudge in the right direction.
I would like to implement a very simple data logger using Ardupilot, and believe there is memory area I can use onboard.

What is the correct behavior of the LED's on the Ardupilot board (red board) running code v 2.6 beta,
with the Ardushield V2 (blue board), and an ArduIMU+ V2 code v 1.6.
After initial startup the YELLOW led is solid and the BLUE gps lock led is blinkin
When using an Ardupilot board (running code v 2.5.04) with an ArduIMU(running code v1.6) and no IR sensor. The Ardupilot code has thefollowing line:
// IR sensors
//2-1
#define ENABLE_Z_SENSOR1 // 0 = no Z sensor, 1 = use Z sensor (no Z requires fieldc
I am having some problems with the flightgear software and I am hoping there is a god of flightgear about.
I have downloaded the program three times and the same thing happens. I install it and start it up. I select the cub for the aircraft and kinlo

Hi I am in the process of building the ArduPilot with the IMU. I need clarification in using the Shield described as follows..
- Wire it up like the below. You don't need to use the ArduPilot shield, however use of the shield is recommended so that Ar
While day-dreaming today at work (tedium, tedium, tedium...) I was thinking about the influence satellites low on the horizon have when calculating altitude in the z axis. When the aircraft is in a level flight attitude the GPS antennae will be point

Hey guys,
With a lot of help from Chris I was able to get Ardupilot 2.5.4 loaded onto my board today.
Once loaded, I came accross my next 2 issues.
Issue 1:
The flight modes. I wanted to test if changing the all the flight mode descriptions in the h

I am currently using Ardupilot as part of my investigation into UAVs for my degree course.
My aim is to add some additional sensors to aid in landing.
It's apparent you use a PID controllers from your very well commented code.

Ok, so I was researching the RQ-11 Raven, as I'm thinkinig about designing a plane based on it, but discovered a new one. The Lockeed Martin "Stalker. I really like both planes, but prefer for FPV work, the clean nose of the Raven. As for building
