Hello All,First understand the nature of my situation (i.e. why I don't just use a standard radio TX). I am wanting to put a camera on a quad-copter (Arducopter w/APM) and send the video back to a PC for high level image processing (via a standard…
Hello All,I am wanting to mount a board-camera to the bottom of my Quad-Copter to use for a look-down auto-pilot algorithm I am writing. Basically, I want to have the camera running into a Pro-Mini (which contains the algorithm) and then have the…
I want to tether my AR Parrot Drone to run for extended periods, but almost exclusivly in a hover. I do not know much about voltages, ampers, ect. What all would I need to make this work? --The AR Parrot uses a liPo 11.1v 1000mAh 1c continuous…
I know this has been answered I just can't find it. I am assuming yes. Also, how would I go about do this? I know I need a special programing board w/USB. Is the program in like C++ or anything similar?
I am working on some possible solutions for a swaying hook in a sling load operation of a full size helicopter. I was wondering if I could use one of DIY Drones's IMUs and then send that information wirelessly up to a computer on the helicopter (via…
Okay in theory of course, could the ArduPilot fly a full scale helicopter? Instead of servos, you could talk to the existing fly by wire of a helicopter (which then move the mechanical linkages). There would be no need to change any code or outputs…
Hi all, I was wondering what happens if you do not use the IMU. Can the Ardupilot still fly just not autonomously? or is the imu nessacary? If I were to make my own IMU what all information would I need to send to the Red Board? (acceleration,…
I want to take off the current board on the Ar Drone and put on the ArduPilot motherboard (the red one). I am making my own IMC oil pan for it as well as my own position sensors. The reason I am wanting to Mod the AR is to save some $. Any…
Hey all, I am a student intern and I need to research a way to demonstrate an autonomous system we are working on. I (the company) currently own an AR Parrot Drone. I was wondering if I could take off the current motherboard and replace it with…
