After a few attempts I finally got all the pieces working together. Check out the detail on the small structure on the top left. Besides the standard survey flight pattern, I threw in two Circle mode sub-missions at a lower altitude and with a slight
I've just started using the great tool for geotagging photos with the flight log in Mission Planner's (v1.3.10). While most of the Wiki describing this tool is refreshingly clear, maybe the section on Field of View could perhaps be more complete.

Hi all,
I just want to share with you some of the work we have been doing using small unmanned aerial vehicles (primarily the APM 2.6 equipped SteadiDrone QU4D) internationally. Towards the end of 2013, Micro Aerial Projects L.L.C. received an innovat

I hear 3d robotics is fitting one for the Iris.
DYS looks like they have a fine 3 axis gimbal, that Jason with 3d robotics has on a copter on facebook.
I have yet to see an
Read more…Hi all. I work closely with the Mining Industry as well as the Oil & Gas Industry and see high value in developing a small UAV with LIDAR, FLIR, and other tech. I have a MS in Aerospace with a concentration on Automatic Flight Controls and Artificial

Read more…Folks,
I work for a soil conservation district in Michigan. We could use a way to make LiDAR maps for conservation planning software. It's pretty expensive to get those shoots done, and we would end up with a ton of data we don't need. Anybody have

I am a handicapped guy who is pretty handy with everything mechanical, electronical and related stuff. I have a few friends that are into amateur archeology, others that install solar solutions and a few that offer security solutions. I see
Read more…Wow, there's been more interest than I expected. Many people joining but no one saying anything :-) My APM 1.0 boards are supposed to arrive tomorrow. I ordered the 1.0 boards by mistake, I didn't realize they weren't the latest and greatest. I s

Read more…PX4 looks like a good platform for this application. It seems likely that the extra horsepower would be useful if not necessary for dealing with the volume of data that could potentially be generated.
I've started setting up the build environment on
