Has anyone got arducopter working on a micro~copter w/ GPS?

Posted by mark on May 14, 2014 at 7:35am

Just curious if anyone has got a micro copter working with AC. Is there a gps module that is small/light enough to go on something like this in order to do a mission?

I saw this:

Very kool...but i am not much of a fan of multiwii.

Thinking this:

Seems really cool. But the GPS mods i have seen are way too heavy. Anyone?

    I have simular plan but with a minicopter. I  just bought the ecksfibre 230mm for testing the AUAV-X1.(small pixhawk style fc) I am also looking for a small and light gps module. Same for a small 433mhz telemetry radio. Anyone an idea for that?

    This may be the GPS you're looking for (1g):

      If you make the ground plane of the patch antenna too small you reduce reliability of getting an accurate lock on the GPS signals.

    You can get down to what, 9g GPSes for reasonable money.. just need a few pwm/fet brushed drivers and a octo setup ;)

      My PID's, thus far. Still need a bit of work, but it's nth degree stuff. What is a problem is loiter. It's all over the place.

    I'd also love to see an APM version of a PCB-quad. From what I see compass, baro as well as the GPS needs to be integrated on such kind of a board (compared to the Turnigy one). It would be perfect if the idea from Crazyflie of integrating the telemetry link would also have been picked up on such a project. Kickstarter, anyone? :)
