This is a forum to discuss the creation of a community-designed UAV airframe that can be put into production. Once the basic scope and core participants of the projects have been decided on, we can move the project to a Huddle workspace for the actua

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

I've been lurking for a while, and I'm getting ready to test fly 2.5.03 next weekend and noticed on my bench that my Easystar with UBLOX and red shield would not achieve GPS lock in manual. If I switched to Auto or Fly By Wire, the GPS would achieve

Read more…Ardupilot finally seems to be working properly (running 2.5.02), achieved lock, telemetry output looks good. However, the radio (Spektrum DX6i 2.4GHz / AR6200) inputs don't seem to have any effect. I have soldered the leads as specified in the diag

Hi All
I have question about the EKF S functions for matlab. There is a call to propogate_covariance in the 25ms routine. This has 4 params but the function only accepts 3, can anyone explain to me
why this is?
Many thanks

I've had an interesing request from a flyer who wants to use waypoints as boundry markers.
He wants to fly in "free flight" mode (normal flight) but if the plane strays outside of given waypoint boundries he wants the autopilot to take over and retur

I would be interested in know how the noise of different prop lengths and designs varies by the prop speed.
