Hello All,Just added some XBees to my setup. Everything works great with the Ground Station.I can see my plane in Google Earth, but can't seem to figure out how to log/record a flight.I'm sure I'm missing something easy, but searching turns up nothin

Read more…Hi, I'm trying to get started with UAVs, but I'm going to develop my autopilot first before buying an RC plane. What I'm thinking is the following:1. Design autopilot using Simulink2. Use the Arduino RTW target to put it onto the ArduPilot hardware3.

Read more…I want to practice on a simulator first. There are so many choices and I'm confused. Once I am used to the simulator, I'll build a easystar and fly it. Once I get the hang of it, I'll add the ardupilot setup.So, which simulator will best prep me for
