Working up a system towards use in a ground effect model to be flown over water.
To get thinks started I would like to use the ArduPilot without a shield board, ie no airspeed measurement or X:Y sensors. This way Ican test the functionality of the cr
Is it possible to control a drone via satellite internet, possible using wild blue? And has anyone developed PC control software, maybe setting up models of multivariate testing? That would be very cool to control a drone out in the field on a comput
Hey guys, I just came across the site and I have to say, I've learned a lot more about autopilots in the last hour than I have in my last week of looking into the topic. Good stuff you've got here.Alright, so I'm a junior in high school involved in a
We are looking for a long time RC guy with lots of UAV flight and tuning experience to lead our internal and customer facing flight program. If you are interested in UAVs and want to make a career out of it, this job might be for you.
Hi, I have the ardupilot installed and tested. How do I use it for zaggy airframe? The easy star has elevator and rudder while zaggy requires a mix of ailerons and elevator.
It is a little off topic but I thought many of the forum goers might find the Photosynth to 3D process I've been working on useful for creating 3D models from aerial photos. The process is pretty simple and FREE:
Hello, I have a probleme of communication between Ground stationb2 and Google earth. What is what somebody can explain etape by etape the started of GS and GE. I receive indeed my position at reel time in the GS but when I click on GE, me do not hav
I am Taner from Turkey. I am first year computer engineering student. Me and my friends from my universty will designe an UAV. Our goal is to use our own programming with ANSI C(which we are currently learning). Is it possible to assembly an UA
Hi I'm a high school senior and am starting my UAV project right now and have a quick question. I would like to create an "engineering log" where I can record my progress on a daily basis and thought it would be cool to do it on the site rather than
I'm a survey student who is testing some realy great things here. One project is to put a digital camera on an air-born platform(plane, blimp or rotory craft) and take suvey images and video. I've never built an aircraft before so I need lots of help
I haven't gotten my first Ardupiilot up and running yet. I'm hoping to do some GPS navigate at ground level, then put it on a plane. I'm still trying to decide what is best for me to stabilise the plane. The simplest seems to be the FMA co-pilot s
Can an ArduPilot support an additional shield kit, (aka "shield stacking"), such as the AdaFruit Motor Shield? This would be additional to the ArduPilot Shield Kit shown here:
With a view to maximising the available processor power (cycles) available for further enhancements of the algorithms used in ArduPilot I am always on the look out for ways to improve the efficiency of the code.
Since the twin booms seem to be the way to go, and I was wanting a payload plane anyway, I decided to build a twin boom. This is 100% scratchbuilt, even the wing. I gave it an RC only maiden flight this morning, and it flew like a dream. Highly s
Hello. I am currently trying to configure my UBLOX for use with ArduPilot and cannot figure out what exactly is the problem. I found the instructions for configuring UBLOX but cannot seem to get data sent from the GPS unit. The reason I need to do
