Is it possible to use an OSD Pro (EagleTree) by itself without the GPS. It seems like it should be better to use the same feed from the ArduPilot GPS. Can this OSD be used with just one GPS Rx? Also, is the eLogger needed in the system? I just want a
I finally worked up the nerve to maiden my radian test bed in autonomous flight. I though if I lost a already mangled airframe it would hurt so much. Although the flight was not a gleaming example of success I did perhaps cure some of the butterflie
I recently figured out a way to use GPS 3-dimensional velocity data and the direction-cosine-matrix information in real time as a plane flies along, to estimate the 3 dimensional wind vector, and the 3 dimensional air speed vector, without a pitot tu
I'm sure many of you are aware that apple as announced its iPad. So is there any way that you could write an app for it that is like the waypoint programmer and the telemetry?
Hey guys, i'm just wondering how one would Rx Data from 2 or more Xbee modules, you could think of it as 1 gound station tracking multiple UAV's. I've got no problem tracking 1 xbee module. I have not tried more than 1 yet. Just posing the question a
Baby steps...note that COA restrictions are (almost) same as for RC planes

Hey everyone, I'm looking for thoughts and advice for my project.
I have spent the last month laying down the groundwork for a micro VTOL aircraft, which can be flown indoors autonomously. I've chosen this type of platform because quite frankly,
I would like to automatically control my ROV's (underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle's) heading, pitch (and possibly roll). Since GPS doesn't work underwater, I'll need to use a compass that outputs heading, pitch and roll such as this one: http://
Hi, I am planning to upgrade my Ardupilot to have telemetry, was wondering if it is possible to then edit and move or even add waypoints midflight? I am using it on an RC boat, so some glitching while it updates is ok, is this possible?
We're working on a UAV platform. You can see our progress here. We'd love any feedback anyone has.. This is just a prototype, but we'd like to eventually add a camera,
We are planning on using a 1.3ghz video transmitter 1.5 watt and an 900mhz xbee pro 100mw and spektrum 2.4ghz receiver. Both onboard transmitters and receiver would be close (within 3 inches). Would there potentially be interference problems with th
Does anybody have experience using a UAV mapping Earth’s magnetic field with a 3axis magnetometer? Are there any sources of information suitable for beginnersin this?
I would like to experiment with some magnetic mapping of Earth’s mag
Hello. I am really interested in building a quad-copter and have not had much luck on plans or kits to build. I see Mikro koptor and the dragon fly with very little info. I love the planes but have an interest in tighter urban areas. I did read someo
