Hey Guys,
I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I founded a program that brings RC Aviation to at-risk youth. We're currently in various Boys & Girls Clubs. This year we're experimenting with a couple scratch build programs w

I'm working on a project that involve hardware on a breadboard and software writing.
I hope I will not bug you 147 members of this group... with my question... since it is not exacly related to programming Ardupilot per say but is is close ;)
I wis

Currently I'm working on a project that will attempt to use additional control surfaces to induce stresses in the wings of an aircraft that some of my colleagues are developing. At the moment I'm using an Arduino Nano as a prototype -

I'm a newbie, Is there any complete and step by step tutorial for Setup Eclipse indigo in using for ArduPilot development ?
I've followed http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Eclipse but still failed in building
Thanks in advance.

For the sake of better understanding APM guts I've been working on what I've been calling ArduGimbal. I've just assembled code together looking at Arducopter 2.5.5 for how to structure the code and Arduino AHRS example & Compass example code t

Read more…I've written some code for ardupilot recently, and before I try it on my aircraft (and potentially crash it), I was hoping to run it in the simulation using X-Plane. I enabled the HIL_MODE_ATTITUDE in the APM code and got the simulation running fine

I'm relatively new to Arduino and Ardupilot, but my background is in electrical engineering, so C++ is not entirely new to me. I'm currently working on a small UAV project and I need some help. I posted in the Arduplane forums, but so far no

im planning on writing code from scratch and was curious if anyone else is doing a similar thing.

I understand that the function "set_servos_4()" is doing the job, but after that I'm lost.

I would like to program the APM 2.0 and integrate these 6 sensors for obstacle avoidance.
Has anybody done that?? Any hints on how to do this??
