ok, so i got one of the memsic dual-axis accelerometers. the picture that comes with it shows the chip with the x and y axes, as well as tilt about those axes. there is a pin for Xout and Yout. what exactly are the values that it is outputting? does
HowdyI used to play a combat flight simulater a lot and have this Trackir head tracking unit laying around unused.Now I have no experiance with uavs but would love to fly my rc heli with it.Where would I even start?The manufacturer makes available a
Entering UAV's was never a preference of mine, since i'm more of a land lover. In fact, as a personal project I have an autonomous robot based on an RC Kyosho. Took everything off but the chassis, servo and the wheels. Recently, this guy that dedicat
I'm trying to see if it's possible to measure wind speed.I would like to measure the wind's speed because I want to try autonomous landing.Do you know of any on-board system that could measure it?I think that I could use some anemometers in ground an
Hi all;Just joined so came to say hi and show off the project I've been working on for over 3 years.It is a Vario benzine helicopter with the following:1X fit PC (http://www.fit-pc.com/new/specifications.html)2X pololu 8ch servo controller1X Digi Xte
I am currently looking for a location to fly my UAV. Once I have paparazzi installed, then I will not be able to use the local RC field, so I have to find an alternate site. Using satellite imagery, I have identified several possible sites, and I hav
Repost (in proper place?):Just wondering:How close is the technology getting to realistically get set up with a couple of RC planes with programmable (with lat/long coordinates) that will transmit video back to the ground?I'm a non-technical adult in
After my intro yesterday I spent a few hours cruising the past posts. As mentioned I am interested in getting some high resolution photography of archeological sites from the air. I would need to carry a camera such as the Pentax A30 mentioned on thi
Hello everyone,I can't express how excited I am about finding this site! I am working on a PhD in geography/remote sensing and have been exploring some potential projects in using remote sensing in archeology. Available satellite and aerial imagery w

Hello:It´s my first post here!! I´m looking for if any body know this book?System Architecture of Small Autonomous UAVs of Marek Musial.Because, I want to know how it is.Thanks for allJesus
I'm trying to read the SCP1000 barometric sensor with Arduino, and I'm just getting zeros with this code. (the author got the same thing and apparently found a solution but never posted it :-( ) The sensor uses the SPI interface, which has some trick
I am running a GIS company in Malaysia, I plan to invest in a RC that can fly autonomously, taking hi-res vertical aerial pic of min. 1miles x 1miles. With control flight system, Probably fly at 500-800 feet. With image processing software to help wi
hi i am new to fpv flying and i want to know how everyone flying fpv are controlling their planes at long distances greater than 1 or 2 km with their radio control systems.i am having trouble finding a reasonably priced radio control system that will
Hello all,I'm working on the auto/manual switching system for my UAV right now, and I was wondering how all of you handle inputting the signal from the receiver. At least for me, the switch on my transmitter that I'm using to switch between auto and
Now that we're getting bigger and sharing more code on this site, I'd like to find something better than putting random files in discussion responses. Has anyone had enough experience with the various code repositories out there to recommend one that
