I got a Sparkfun 5V Breakout (NCP1402), some JR servo lead extensions from HobbyKing, and a right angle mini USB cable from Amazon and made the rig shown in the attached photo (USB cable not shown). I also installed CHDK and the 3DR script on the S10

Here are some quick links to Ara
Or maybe I am just crazy.

Read more…Hello everybody! What do you think about this mission? Its about to fly in a circle with a ROI in the center of it.
The "risky" part on this is flying above sea and mountains as you might see on the aereal map and the photos. Location is San Carlos, S

I have a question about my Iris+.
Perhaps a member of 3DR could answer me.
Can you tell me the accuracy vertically and horizontaly in flight of the couple GPS-IMU?
Thanks for your reply!

Went out for my 3rd flight today, and could not get DP2 to connect. Constantly got MAVlink error: No devices found. It worked fine yesterday. I was using Mission Planner yesterday to extend the geo-fence to 1000m.
i just now noticed the instruction packet that I received with the IRIS+ and saw it says that, by long-pressing on the down button, the flight information will show. The photo in the instruction pamphlet looks nothing like what I see on my transmitte

So my first flight went well, but I called it quits as I thought the wind was too strong. It was gustin

Read more…Hello everyone!
I thought I would start a thread on reducing vibration and jello for those of us that use the Iris+ to shoot video.
Personally, I've found the Iris+ to be very stable since the first day. I rarely get jello, and any vibration I get is easily removed

We are in Mexico and here trains are commonly used to transport raw materials like steel and
After a Pixhawk failure and pretty mean crash of the Iris+, I have installed 3DR replacements of the PXHK and GPS units. After extensive tuning, I have it almost where I need it (sans propellers or flying) After calibrating the ESC's, I find that in

I have been doing some IRIS+ based measurements of atmospheric temperature profiles and
submitted a research proposal to the National Forest Service to fly above a site on NFS land.

A few weeks ago I bought a 3DR Iris+ drone in the USA (Amazon)
I learned how to fly it and had a lot of fun. The drone came with a default "ceiling" of 100 meters and I tried to change that but completely messed it a
