After successfully getting the EM-406a to parse out data over the SiRf simulation software I attempted to use the standard GPS parsing code for the Adafruit GPS Logger Shield to send data over the serial inputs of an Arduino Mega. Obviously communic

Can anyone offer some help with mixing across 2, 2 position switches for mode select? The ArduPilot manual just says "refer to your radio's manual", but when I did, it looks like I maybe can't. I'm running a JRXP662 for helicopter and airplane. It

I checked all the contacts, and all the voltages seem fine. but the voltage on the out pin is constant at 1.8V and doesn't change when the board is rotated.

Hello, here is a version 2.5 using the IMU not the optical sensor and a GPS uBlox.
At the same time I solved the problem of checksum that was capricious, the problem was the failure to manage overflow ck_a and ck_b as a type byte. There were too valu

In a weak moment, I bought one of those UFO 4 motor heli devices from an online hobby store. Its description explained how it's internal gyro and advanced electronics caused it to be entirely stable and controllable, even indoors. The reality was tha

After some fun with the FPV plane I recently built, I was looking for the next step. I decided my next project would be to outfit it with an Ardupilot. I have looked at the Ardupilot before, and just did some more extensive research, and here is what

I am just wondering if it matters when the gps is unplugged when putting the ardupilot into fly-by-wire mode? Should i power the ardupilot up with gps plugged in and then disconnect or should I power it on with no gps attached?
If it makes

I plan on designing an auto pilot system with the Ardupilot, but I am a bit confused as to how to connect the toggle switch to the transmitter and attaching the channel for the switch to the ArduPilot shield.
Hey guys,
This is an old project but I´ll soon work on the new FPV UAV Skywalker so if you need or have any qeustions I´ll be happy to answer them. email: iw28mo@hotmail.com
