industrial electronics tech/programmer 30 years interest in r/c aircraft recovering from stroke related brain injury


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

OUTBACK Joe is my hero. have flown multicopters and fixed wing autonomously. mission oriented goals. (delivery of urgent materials/medicines in hazardous weather in remote areas) Want to get a synthetic vision using google earth and the gps stream from mavlink into the gcs as the video stream behind the hud. want to get the cheap clipon satellite case for iphone/galaxy working as the data stream.

Bruce Baxter replied to Samuel Rosenstein's discussion Pixhawk not controlling servos in ArduPlane User Group
"Is the servo reading the signal?

With power off, move the servo and power on. Does it move?

I think the pixhawk has varying output modes, 400hz vs 50hz etc"

"Yes, cg point.
It's possible you have too much longitudinal dihedral and the cg too far forward,
Or
The thrust line generates pitch up."

"Pitch up at high throttle is either balance point, or thrust line"

"I am hoping to generate interest with someone that has the skills to either share it as, oh god I'm old, the Windows equivalent of a dos batch file or embedded into the ground control station."

"This is looking simpler and simmer as you explain more and more.

So far it looks like this?

Drone --> mavlink --> gcs --> Google.

From what I can understand , Google generates its own hud and can just run as a standalone."

"Again I must thank you for giving me what should be the tools and example code for what I am trying to do.

Sadly I don't speak those languages.
I can do relay logic, logic gates, Boolean, ladder, state machine, machine code, sequencer, dos, and…"

"Thanks heaps for this.
It is exactly what I was looking for, with extras I couldn't have thought of with throttle and flaps etc.

Sadly it is beyond my programming skills to even understand how to impliement this.
(Yea, OK. It's simple to parse out…"

https://www.foreflight.com/products/foreflight-mobile/synthetic-vis... it be possible to have a display similar to this for the ground control station by using Google earth satelite?

Bruce Baxter commented on Andrew Tridgell's blog post QuadPlane support in APM:Plane 3.5.0
"I have not tested it, but it seems a normal multirotor would come close to working as long as it is allowed a bank angle over 90deg"

Bruce Baxter replied to Petr Zverina's discussion WOD mavlink ground station ;-)
"Bandwidth.
Synthetic vision will work over standard satellite 2.4k baud but camera needs 5mhz analog.

Synthetic vision gives enough information to know if it over a town or near a mountain (controlled flight into terrain)"

Bruce Baxter replied to Petr Zverina's discussion WOD mavlink ground station ;-)
"Not to fly with.

Just for following an automatic flight with fixed wing.

Camera is needed to fly with."

To get like a flight sim display"

"I really haven't been through the process myself, I just remember an email conversation about this exact problem and it has something to do with the auto tune inserting a trim value that is not used n all modes.

I can't remember for sure if the…"
