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

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.
Unfortunately the standard Arduino soft

Hi guys,
I have been making rapid prototypes in plastic plated with a layer of nickel all over the part, the reason for doing this was to improve the material properties of the plastic to make it stiffer and stronger. I also wondered if this could be
