New to boats looking for a hull suggestion
Hello allI have played around with fixed-wing drones before but am new to boats. I am looking to build a simple boat for the purpose of inspecting a heavily timbered section of river that it is hard to get a manned boat into and am looking for some suggestions on where to start. I don't need a sounder or overly accurate GPS (but both would be good to have). I would really like a high-resolution camera in a dome housing or similar that I could control and take photos with. I would also like a…

Can anyone advise on a good post on how to build an antenna tracker?
Thanks in advance,

Exactly,
one row on PC monitor, 2 rows on 10 inch Android tablet in PC version mode since row of tabs is hard coded to fit vs. javascript soft coded row of tabs to fit monitor size.
So on my tablet
1st row:
Home Store About Forums News ArduCopter ArduPlane ArduRover PX4 Software
2nd row
Members
So solution is easy, header font can be resized or
2-row tabs solution implemented
What second row? There's only one row of tabs.
Sorry @Tom,
but there is still room for ArduBoat in second row of the main tab, exactly as "Members" in second row opens correctly.
ArduBoat is not ArduRover.

**********Attention ArduBoat User Group Members**********
ArduBoat is still alive and well and can now be found as a sub-tab under ArduRover. Unfortunately there are a fixed number of Main Tabs on the front page so ArduBoat was relocated to give way to the PX4 Software main tab.

@David,
PX4 Software is a product by Lorenz Meiter and ETH Zurich.
To my understanding 3DR is developer of PX4 hardware.
I am surprised PX4 Software development team is not present of DIYDrones to discuss drone fly-away syndrome.
Replacing ArduBoat by PX4 Software is not smart.
Now the Arduboat tab on the home page has been replaced by PX4 Software.
Things are definitely changing in the DIYD community.

@TCIII, thank you and like wise.
@David: thanks again, you are right, I was not looking at it correctly. It will take some getting used to.
Thank again,

Richard;
Are you sure you are looking at the horizon properly. I know from flying aircraft that at first the horizon looks to be the opposite than it really is.

Has anyone had this before: if I tilt my boat to starboard (right) the HUD horizon tilts to port (left) and vice versa? If if dip or raise the bow the horizon acts normally. Compass is working normally. The boat in the mission planner display is correct.
I have checked the Parameters but can't see or more than likely don't know what to look for.
The orientation mounting is default.
I am using a APM 2.6 with a UBlox NEO-7M GPS with Compass, connection via 3dr radio.
I checked it with a usb connection and the same.
@David: I bought the new GPS. When I was ordering it I read your post about the rice and thought "What do I have to lose?".
The day the new UBlox NEO-7M GPS with Compass arrived I first tested the new GPS and the pulled the old LEA-6H out of the rice and she fired right up, took a couple of minutes longer than the new NEO-7M but shes back from the dead.
Thank you David, I would have never tried if you hadn't mentioned it.
Cheers,
RS
@Eddie,
Love your projects! I can't make it out from the photo, but what is that make and model of the catamaran boat? It looks perfect for putting all sorts of gear in there!
