About Me:
As a control engineer i like thinks to move automatically. i have been dealing with industrial robotics cells for almost 5 years. During the last months flying objects, especially rotary UAV's, starts to spark my interest so i bought 2 quadrotors to understand how does this thing work. They took almost all my free time in weekends and holidays and because of them problems start to arise with my wife :-)
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am very interesting in rotary UAV's, namely quadrotor. But since normal small quadrotors are already developed from many people and being in use for a while, i am thinking to build a big quadrotor with a payload of at least 10 Kg. I think something like this have never been build before. But if that is possible or not! I do not know either. For me at least i will have something to do on the weekends.

"Hello all,
after upgrading my firmware from 2.8.1 to 2.9.1b on my APM1 , the altitude_hold does not work any more. I am using the XL-MaxSonar EZ0. I want only to fly near the ground with a maximum height of 3m. In 2.8.1 firmware I was able to…"

"Hello. I just updated my APM1 to arducopter 2.9.1. Now my altitude value look not precise anymore. for example when i hold the arducopter with my hand on a height of 1 m above the ground, the altitude reading start with 1.45 and then drop 0.4 and…"

"very good idea, Adam. This could be very helpful for policemen to track a thief or a car(may be with the help of FPV system)."
Hello all,I have read some paper about quadrotor. almost of them state that it is nearly impossible to control the quadrotor using a PID controller because of the non-linearity, cross coupling and big disturbances (wind) (See equations). So if it is…

Hello UAV's Fans. I just finished assembling my ArduQuad and installed the latest firmware. The problem is that whenever i connect it to the configurator and even the IMU shield is horizontal i get always a wrong roll and pitch values. the…
