Started using version 2.5.02, same problems... Couln't get the autopilot to function correctly, turn the gains down and it wouldn't follow waypoints nor RTL, turn it up
Hello again.
I've started to think this. Is it really worth of it? Yes, I'm really interested in UAVs, Different kind RC airplanes and so on, but what if this goes over? That I lose my interest to these after I have spent some money? I would have som
Hello!
I'm new in working with GPS and would like an example code for the Venus GPS hooked up with an Arduino board.
Someone who knows a good code?

Hi All,
While waiting for my EM-406A to drain it's batteries. (Seems that it's on binary mode...)
Already done with the Xbee connections. I managed to get a remote serial connection via the wireless link so... that's okay...

First of all, I have to say that I'm at the beginner level with these things and thats why I'm asking for some help. I hope you wont criticize me, but I've been always interested in robotics and technology. I have not much experience from flying
Hi all
While doing some reading for my paper on ardupilot for my degree I have noticed something and just want to clear it up.
On the wiki page for the ardupilot it has a link for 'using an IMU instead of thermopiles'. I have read the link and it say
