Hello everyone. I'm a newbie here and am looking to build a UAV. I've been flying R/C airplanes and helicopters for about 10yrs and am looking to make the next leap using ArduPilot on a 4 channel electric airplane. I've gone over the tutorials and ne

I'm making some thoughts about upgrading the easystar.1. More space for you know what.2. Easy to get your big fingers inside the fuselage.3. Able to separating the carbon fuselage from the other part of the model, so it will be easy to get inside. (f

I have set up ardupilot with the shield installed and xbee 900's to transmit the data. all the blinking lights seem to be good. eg. i get satelite lock on gps. i also see data being transfered from the xbees as the lights on the adapoters are blinkin

I am currently a Soldier in the U.S. Army at AIT to be an Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operator/Payload Operator. I am National Guard, so once i am done here in JAN i will be able to search for a civilian job. I will be certified to fly and control payl
Read more…Is it sensible to dedicate a microcontroller to the heading reference system?
At just a few dollars for an ATmega chip, is there any sense to keeping the IMU seperate from all the stabalisation and navigation processing? Even keep it a separate board like the ArduIMU for ease of positioning at the optimum location. The new ATm

Sorry folks I posted this in the Blogs section earlier this morning by mistake. My bad.I have a Newbie question about the uBlox adapter battery life span. 2 weeks + or - ?Jordi, do we need to power the unit up to retain the pre-loaded program when we

Ok so today i got my ArduIMU and GPS in the mail, yay. However I am a little confused because i am bran new to this. does the ArduIMU replace Ardupilot or is it an add on to it? Does anyone have a picture of there setup with the IMU built because I a

Hi,what means the Ardustation values and particularly:Waypoint screen,- RSP (it show mainly about 35, what is this?)Navigation (Roll/Pitch) screen,- DALTracking (Is this antenna tracking?),- Dist2D and Dist3D- Angle- Alt (is this the same as the othe

The basics for flying a UAV are well illustrated on this page, but I can't find any references concerning one touching down on the water without pontoons. If anyone had any insight into the problem or any constructive suggestions it would be much app

Tom and I just got our uBlox5 combo, and I hooked it up to my arduino as a Serial passthru using NewSoftSerial, with the built in and software port running at 38400. At first I thought I'd go ahead and port the parsing code from the arduPilot to run

G’Day,I have been lurking around the UAV scene for a while now – mainly in the quad rotor field. Now I am looking at getting into the opensource aircraft side (as a hobby). After reading here, and also on rc forums around the place, it seems the Easy

I am troubleshooting my blimpduino in autonomous mode. I have tracked it down to the ultrasonic sensor. I am using the serial console while manually holding the assembled gondola. My ultrasonic sensor returns an altitude of 0 almost all the time. Occ

I would like to enclose the H-IR sensor into a 4" round housing - any issue (e.g., timing, calibration, shielding) with unsoldering the sensor elements and extending them out and remounting to a 4" diameter a circuit board and bringing the leads back

Quick question. Is the groundcourse angle from sirf moduals tangent to the current path or is it the angle between the current location and the last location reported 1 second earlier?I assume of it were tangent - and more accurate- it would be doing

With the recent release of the source code for the ArduIMU, I hope to port it for use with some sensors and an arduino that I have. Here is a picture of my current setup.
