A Farmer building a VTOL UAV


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Safe to be near very durable VTOV UAV that could be used for many jobs from photography to tree trimming. I'm now working on the second prototype.

The first of the many tasks I would like to accomplish is precision photos of crops and the Autoquad is ready to do what now.  The rest of the tasks are closer to the ground so the Autoquad will need more sensors and more precise GPS to do…"

"Gary

Building a long endurance octo is my next project.  I've ordered the props for testing.  Shooting for one hour of flight time while have the redundancy and smooth flying that an octo brings.

I have an Autoquad Cube challenge to post.  I'm a farmer and as soon I saw the first quad I knew that I wanted to use that type of aircraft as a tool for farming.  For the last seven years I've built multicopters using many of the opensource…"

"Andrew

I'm using the 3D radios on a APM 2 octo and a Autoquad octo at 115k baud. I really miss having them. I ordered a new set yesterday but I could use both sets.

The 3D radios have worked very well for 6 weeks and after a little crash the air module has the red LED on solid and no green LED.  I've tried to connect to 3D config and I get "failed to enter command mode".  The ground module connects and I can…

Aerhead replied to Dan Clemens's discussion variable pitch quad
"A VVP copter is not very easy.  First you need four ESCs that have good governors, hard to find.  Or your can use one motor to drive all motors.  If you have all props turning at the same RPM than you can adjust the servos so 1000 micro seconds…"

"Tks
If your asking this question you have a lot of learning to do about RC stuff. If you can get a programming card for your ESCs you will find it helpful. Throttle calibration is very simple with a RC Transmitter and receiver.  You tube has videos…"

Just checking.  An altitude sensor with an output of around 100Hz could be used with autoquad?"

"I have had it on the Openpilot forum five months ago and have had little interest.  The problem is that my method of control is not at all efficient.  I am not a programmer.  At 60 years old I think it is too much to learn and a little too late for…"

"Let me assure you I do not think anyone on this team is just sitting on there hands.   Most of the commercial Autopilot people write-off the MPU 6000 as a toy sensor.  So I thought I ask. "

Has the team look into using the MPU 6000?  AMP2 and Openpilots CC3D are using them with good results."

"For six years I've been looking for a autopilot that would have the functionality that AQ autopilot appears to have attained. It's interesting that it will be released just a day ahead of the July 4 "Independence day".  I believe that this autopilot…"
