Hello, I'm trying to implement an accurate geo-referencing system that allows me to geotag pictures with milisecond accuracy.
The timestamps embedded in the mavlink messages are to a second resolution, however there is a mavlink_gps_raw_int_t message
Read more…Does anyone know where to get the timing enabled ("T" series, such as the Neo-8MT) chips? I can't seem to find any online vendors that sell the complete system (chip + additional hardware such as FTDI for USB interface) except CSGShop (http://www.csg
Read more…Hello, I want to use RTK lib for post processing the GPS coordinates collected by the on-board GPS on an Iris+. The data needs to be in raw format for RTKlib to be able to use it. Does anyone know if it is possible to store the full data captured by

I'm trying to integrate information from Mavlink messages into a 3D Game Engine in order to visualize the drone in a virtual world. I'm able to obtain the drone position/orientation from the information in the MAVLINK_MSG_ID_GLOBAL_PO
Read more…Hello Everyone-
I've had two flyaways so far because of what appears to be random gyro offset drift. During the first flyaway the drone almost crashed into a house before I was able to crash land it and in the second flyaway it crash landed on the pav
Read more…Hello -
I took my Iris out today for a survey and had a very scary experience. I've had the Iris for almost half a year now and have flown many missions and have logged many hours of manual flying, so I'm a fairly competent flier. I normally fly miss
Read more…Hello, I'm considering adding a Sonar to my Iris to measure low altitudes more accurately. The barometer used on the Iris appears to be MS5611 that has a resolution of 10cm according to the data sheet. Adding a sonar (for example MB1240) should give

Hello, like many people here I'm interested in making planar panoramas and potentially some 3D surface reconstruction from aerial images. My hardware:
Quadcopter: 3DR Iris
Camera Gimbal: Tarot 2D for GoPro
Camera: GoPro Hero 4 Silver
The first thing I re

Read more…Hello, I'm trying to understand how Ardupilot implements PID control. I'm able to follow the code and see that the errors from the set point are converted into rate targets which are sent to a PID controller. However puzzled by the following code:

Read more…Hello everybody, I've been working on an Arduino based quadcopter for the last few months. A key component to make the quadcopter balance is an orientation sensor that periodically reports the yaw/pitch/roll which can be used as input to a PID contro
