I changed the subject of this discussion to a basic platform information exchange. I am planning on using the Hobby-Lobby Senior Telemaster as the platform for my UAV project. It's large wingspan and low wing loading, will allow heavier payloads, suc

Read more…Hey Everyone,
I have been on a bit of a standstill with my Ardupilot project lately, but managed to get out for a test flight, and as usual have returned with more Ardupilot questions. I have the Ardupilot 2.4 in an Easystay with the following hardwa

I meet a problem of dialog with an ultrasonic radio-altimeter MAXBOTIX LV-MaxSonar-EZ0.
Dialog is not at all as expected in RealTerminal (with my FDTI USB port interface) :
- RealTerminal displays periodic data, but not at all as spe

i bought an arduimu and i connected it with my microcontroller with the UART.
i used 4 pins:GND,5V,OUT,IN.with this connection,can i take data from gyro and GPS?
Has anyone tried flying an Ardupilot without the IR sensors? Assume if you have a very stable platform ie one with sufficient dihedralthat basic navigation should be possible using rudder alone with the elevatorcontrolled by GPS height.
Read more…Hi,
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am wondering what is the best way to get accurate altitude data.
The project I am working on involves very long flight times (greater than 1 hour) at altitudes of up to 1000' feet (I know about the NAS restrict
Oh the horror ! I dropped my Ublox onto a hardwood floor and snapped the antenna right off.
After 45 minuits of carefuly picking at the epoxy potted base I have expossed a central pin in the middle and one on either side if it. Ohm meter says the two
Hello friends
Am interested in designing a completely autonomous micro aerial vehicle.Basically the vehicle will be hand launched.It will have to follow a set of multiple way points (GPS navigation) and then finally land at a predefi
Again a noob question. What is the purpose of Air vs Ground start in practical terms? The difference seems obvious, start GPS in the Air or on the Ground. The bind plug isn't used with the IMU from what I've read so wouldn't the GPS be set to Ground

I am new to the UAV community and I am very excited about the possibilities. I am learning a lot....steep learning curve.

Hi all!
I'm currently really new to ArduPilot and I'm trying to make a Ground Vehicle out of it using this card.
So far, just to test the card, I've defined a mission and wanted to simulate it. But after loading the mission and making the arrangments
