advice on arducopter

Posted by ensaaj on March 11, 2013 at 9:28am

dear friends, 

i am new and working as lecturer in one of technical university in malaysia. recently i was asked by the university to advice the student who registered as participants in uav competition.  they will be given one 3dr radio 433mhz air and ground modules, a ultrasound range sensor, a ccd camera wireless, AIO crius pro v1.

i strongly believe that arducopter is suitable for us.

 need advice how to setup as i already bought mine from rctimers using my own money.  also the dji f550 hexacopter frame, sensors, 6 950kv brushless motor from emax , 25amp emax esc ( bought together the emax programming card)  3 pair counter rotating10x4.5 , 

to help me getting an idea on the vehicle behavior, i also bought i86 flight controller from hobby king , and 9 channel tx from flysky.  spend a lot using malaysiann money and looking forward to work on tis great project and all time and money spend are really worth investment

 i think any suitable link is appreciated so that i can have something to help the student

thank you

    Oh, be warned, you will rip off the usb port on the AOI(Hot glue it now for support). Be prepared - get a AVR programming card(A usb to 6 pin programming board). This way you can still get the software onto the board.

    Hi Ensaaj,

    If you want to use the same software for both the flight controllers(AIO and Arducopter) then there are 2 options:

    1. MegapirateNG for multirotor - http://code.google.com/p/megapirateng/downloads/list

    2. Arduplane for fixed wing -  http://code.google.com/p/ardupilotdev/downloads/list

    I have used both on the AOI board with good results. If you want to move from a C+ to A+ get the Arducopter board from 3D. This moves you from a good board to a brilliand community.

    Good luck,

    Antonie

    Hi 

    Have you looked at the Arducopter wiki?

    If no, try it, it's really useful:
