Hi, I'm having a problem with an Xbee pro 868 on my Easystar. If I raise the transmit power to anything above 1mW a servo will jump whenever the unit transmits which in this case is every 500ms or so. it's also strange that only one servo jumps as th
Hi,I would like to use ArduPilot first in a boat and then in a seaplane.X,Y,Z horizon sensor might not works properly with the boat and with the plane as well because the lake is between hill. Moreover I would like to protect all the sensor in the bo
Every time I try to upload ArduPilot 2.4 I receive this error....In function 'void loop()':error: 'ab' was not declared in this scope In function 'void navigation()':Thanks,Toby
hi.I introduce myself:jaime my name I am new to the forum and apologize if I go wrong.I have a problem with ardupilot:I burned the atmega328p by mistake, buy only the Atmega in SparkFunbut this wine without the bootloader got, I've been told itentand
I've been researching for a while on attaching a video camera to my model plane to be able to fly and control with a first-person view via monitor. Most of the discussion I see is sticking a camera on it, turning it on and downloading the video upon
I have just perfected (finally got to work) a method for sending data up to the plane while in auto and without missing a GPS frame. I've been using all my spare time for a week to get it.It works by sharing the uart time wise. The U-blox sends data
I could averaging the values I measure and that would get rid of most of the noise, no need for a kalman filter! I would still have the thermal noise but I am assuming here it would be rather small.
HiJust got my easystar flying on its own and I am very impressed with its abilities with very little tweaking. The main problem is where I live it is very windy and as Chris has mentioned in a blog, when travelling up wind the easy slows to a crawl (
I was able to finally get around to implementing 2-way communication with the Ardupilot HW without using a separate Arduino. It's a really simple and straight forward solution. When I'm in autopilot mode I read the GPS as normal, when I'm in manual m
helpin trying to load my ardupilot white software 1.0 , the program frees up nothing is happening .it only say loading i/o then noting . can i wipe the ardupilot memory and start over or is the board scraped ? please helpi have the 168 board the prog
Ive always had the dream of making a stealth UAV to do low flyby's silently. The plan was to use them during paintball games in order to gain an advantage.My idea is the microcontroller gets the co-ordinates of the target, then flies 100ft higher fro
here is the error i get all of sudden when compileing ardupilot 2.3.1 and 2.4. very strange.dont know how to post images here so the screen shot of the error is attached.Error is as follows.In function 'void navigation()':error: 'The' was not declare

I have been having a few problems with stability in my ardupilot setup and so i have been investigating the xy sensor setup. I was surprised to read that in recent code releases it is ok to setup the xy sensor in a diagonal configuration because ther
Hi,which is the best (simple) tool to convert NMEA files from a GPS tracker to Kml files?I'm searching for something which permit to select start and end wp etc.Thanks,Ric
I'm working with a group that is equipping an RC airplane to fly autonomously. It is our first attempt, so there are a few things we do not have a good concept of yet.At the moment, we are focusing on integrating our GPS component and enabling commun
Hi thereI am quite new to this activity and i was wondering if anyone knows of a good beginner sailplane that I can also mount an autopilot on.thanks in advance
