As I wasn't able to flash the newer Arducopter firmware on my Walkera X350 Pro (Devo-M). I had to come up with another way to add GSM/GPRS telemetry to my drone. I did this using an Arduino Mega 2560 to run the configuration script on a Linkto SIM900

We havent been able to figure it out ourselves yet.
The situation is that if we wire the 5V and GND pins of the our GPRS Shield to same pins on an Arduino UNO or to those pins on a FTDI cable then we can power up the Shield perfectly fine.
But when we

I have been scouring the internet for a preconfigured Hex file for my Arduplane, but have come up empty handed so far. I see that a lot of development has been done for Arducopters, but nothing for Arduplanes. Does anyone have any experience wi

Sorry for the noob question (I have only just learning about this stuff).
Have any of the Australian users here had any success using an ALDImobile SIM (carrier is Telstra) with SIM900?

I was looking into the cellular video streaming problem a year or so ago, and I concluded that to get

I want to add these lines to arducopter software for Serial3 or telemetry:
AT+CGATT? //attached to GPRS ?
AT+IPR=57600
AT+IFC=2,2 //"it's better to use hardware flow control"
AT+CIPMODE=1 //Enable transparent mode
AT+CSTT="internet" //set APN
AT+CI
I'm considering a unique approach that will lower the barrier of entry (programming skills, etc) to this segment. That is to take my GMS shield and put it on a 2nd arduino (uno) and attach it to the serial connections of the APM2.5. This approach wil

For my senior design project I'm working on a simple phone ground station for an ArduCopter. Our project sponsors want us to use an RN-XV wifly module but we're not sure how to connect it to the telemetry port of our APM 2.5. We've

Hello, this is probably a dumb question but I'm new to this and can not seem to figure it out. How do you provide power to the drone cell and the APM from one power source? I saw on the instructions that a ESC BEC will not suffice and I need to buy a
