"We used 2D LiDARs for obstacle detection over an FOV of 90 degrees, and the obstacle avoidance was pretty simple - when an obstacle is detected, move away from it sideways (relative direction) until it is no longer in the FOV; then continue to the…"

"hi jeevan, u can call me anant...sir sound very formal :)
a quick look at mission statement suggests its pretty sophisticated...here's hw i would approach:
- from the mission scenario figure out how many exact no. of copters are suitable...it might…"

Anant Rao commented on Jean-Louis Naudin's blog post ArduCopter in action: Testing the QuadCopter (HIL mode) on X-Plane v9
"Christian, what are the gains you're using ? I got the stable simulation at Throttle gain of 12000, and all other gains at 10000. Another thing to check is if you're running any screen recorders simultaneously with X-Plane. That severly effects the…"

"i made a small readme file for the HIL simulation (mostly adapted from this blog post; some minor modifications)....i use the mission script from mission planner for an autonomous mission with take-off, switching mode to auto, moving to other…"

"I meant the trajectory in X-Plane (don't remember the exact shortcuts, probably pressing 'x' or 'c' twice u can see the trajectory with altitude on the screen of X-Plane).....that would give an idea of what the copter is exactly trying to do....if u…"

"Which simulator are you using ? Do you see continuously changing yaw/pitch/roll values and lat/long values in Simulation tab ? If yes, the interface between Mission Planner and Simulator is working fine....then you can check the actual trajectory in…"

"@ Parker: Do you see the MODE field value change to AUTO in flight planner, when u flip the radio switch ?"

Hello all,Does any one know why do ublox lea6h gps evaluation boards ($100) cost less than the module ($120) itself?Here's the link for eval board that i bought at $99.99: http://www.csgshop.com/product.php?id_product=35Here's the gps module chipset…

"Finally got it working.......had wrongly selected field 21 (loc, vel, distance travelled) as well XPlane, that caused the problem....
nice to see it works with the arduino mega 2560 board as well..........."

"Hector, the images posted by Jean have an APM board without connection to GPS. Yet he achieved a successful simulation.....i want to do the same, so trying to understand how'd he do it....
Also, XPlane is communicating GPS data to Mission Planner…"

"Hello Jean,
HIL sim is awesome.....great work!!!
I've some questions regarding the GPS data in HIL. In most of your videos, I see the mission planner flight data page showing the map with quad rotor there. This is possible only when quad has a GPS…"

"Was a silly mistake......i was doing it without a GPS lock.....now i can change mode to AUTO....

But the throttle problem remains....max throttle tht i get with RC channel 3 (max,min = 1885,1100) and sim throttle gain of 10000 are 0.180, which…"
