OdysseyThis is a unit for a full size plane, but it would be nice if the GCS could look something like that when it's done!! This unit also have a very impressive list of features. Wonder if one can use it as a GCS+AP and have only the sensors with…
"Very impressive list of features. Just need auto-landing and you will have a completely autonomous plane at a very good price."
"How sure are you that the PWM signal output is only 3.3V? I have not tried it, but a cheap V meter might just give the average voltage of the PWM signal."
"Easy, you use a 5Hz refresh rate GPS :), but a combination of both would give better accuracy at the cost of more complex code (and $)."
"Thanks for the heads-up. I always make a point not to support companies that operate like that.
90% of the people here can program, so his "the problem is in the chair" way will not work here as it would with normal end users."

Hi AllWhat's the difference between a "electronic compass" and "magnetometer"?Thanks,
"Not easy to see the size on your board, just remember the 2620 is only available in narrow DIP package. On your board it looks like you have a wide DIP footprint."
I am using an FMA CDP4 co-pilot as part of my autopilot. Trying to figure out which would be the best way to connect it.The way I see it I have 2 options (or a 3rd option, connect the thermopiles directly to my MCU without the CPD4, but I would…
"For the same price, maybe I should get this GPS: 5Hz GPS"
"Does anyone else have any info if the setup suggested in the link I posted will work with a simple 3 axis mag sensor to get the heading...1Hz heading updates from my GPS is a bit too slow to get my auto landings right.
I will also have to change my…"

"Hi Marty
Have a read here: http://www.uavs.net/horizon_sensing_autopilot.pdf on page 6. You set the sensor up so that you move the plate when you want to turn, so in normal flight the plate should always be close to horizontal. When you want to…"

"I see another way to mount the FMA co-pilot is on a movable plate, so you move the plate to control the plane. Up to a point the plate should the stay parallel to the earth when the plane rolls or pitches. Would this sensor (or other compasses) not…"
