i think this whole drone thing is a cool idea but im having trouble coming up with a total price for me to build one; im figuring out if i can afford it.
- i want a plane that i can put in some gps locations and it will go form a to b to
Could an ordinary Arduino function as an Ardupilot with the Ardupilot code and maybe some other addons/modifications? What sets the Ardupilot far apart from an Arduino? If anyone has any ideas on what addons/modifications need to be made with ha

Hey Guys,
I need to build a Camera mount that is stabilized in all 3 axis. Can anyone give me some assistance with this project? I Need to use an IMU, and I will build the actuall hardware myself no problem. I just dont know how to program and what
Anyone working on a new ground station software in Lab View for the IMU version of the ArduPilot ?
Hi!
I have decided to develope my own uav system for my easystar.. One thing I wanted to ask you about is the algoritm for following waypoints.
If the plane knows it's current position and heading (GPRMC string), and is supposed to steer for it's next

We are coming to the end of the next round, who's up for giving me a hand sorting it out and perhaps making the judging a little more subjective.
Have any of you guys used the 2.4ghz DIY conversion kit from Hobby King??? I ordered one yesterday, so I'll follow up here after I install it, but I was hoping for any "heads up" that I could get before I start.

Hi Guys,
Hi guys,
We are using AT89C2051 for generating PWM for each motor and alreadycontrolled speed of each motor by varying duty cycle using a pushbutton.Still we are unable to control four motors using RC. Weprogrammed for sensing PWM out of RC but value is rando

Can you please tell me where to find the instructions for the HMC5843 - Triple Axis Magnetometer
How to set the voltage jumpers, I2C address and some arduino example code would be great.
Thanks
