Hi everyone, I'm flying my skywalker with a 10x zoom camera, but requires stabilization to have a good image. I would like to help me with camera tracking, someone has the file that says APM_camera wiki instructions? anyone has experience with the op

I'm still reading and planning this winter's UAV, which will most certainly operate Arduplane.
I see that usually APM gets its power from the BEC off the ESC, via the throttle pins. The plan I have for my plane is to use a separate BEC to d

yesterday, i was testing my hardware for a flight this weekend.
But when i tried the telemetry, i saw the data on my computer with a lot of lag.
I tried this :

Hey folks,
It seems that an Xbee is the way to go! I'm going to use FrSky on my UAV & I've read that 900mhz video transmitters do not play well with Frsky receivers.
What about 900mhz xbees? Does anyone here use FrSky + Xbee 900mhz who can tell me
Hey folks,
I found this arduino wireless gizmo that appears to be a much cheaper alternative to the super expensive xbee.
Can anyone confirm that it works properly with Arduplane?
First of all, let me say that I am not an electronics expert!
I am looking for a relatively easy/straight forward way to have some sort of autopilot/GPS loc status and or control mounted on the outside of the UAV. my current airframe designs do not

To the developers, designers, code writers of this fine project.
My final test this morning was switching the Tx off, and watching the plane start, and complete a way point mission.
After the mission, it came back, and started circling launch.
