Hello all,
I am looking to send commands to my Arducopter Quad via a C++ program and a Fly Sky 9Ch Tx/Rx (Same as the Turnigy 9Ch from Hobby King).
I have read around and I believe that I need a USB to PPM cable converter that would run from my Trainer

I have the Arducopter 2.0 Quad and are currently trying to get the Xbees to talk to the Ardupilot Mega Mission planner.
I have run the test code and can get the Xbees to send "Port 0" over the link.
However, I have hit a wall and do not know how

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 v

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 Pro

I do not know much about voltages, ampers, ect.
What all would I need to make this work?

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?

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

Okay so I have a quad with Arduino and an IMU. It in itself is a stable flying platform (theoretically, I haven't built it yet). What I want to do is send from a PC/Laptop RC signals to the Arduino on the Quad. Basically make it Fly-by-Wire* wi

Basically for the IMU and Motherboard I am using (Arduino) I need to take the power from a 1000mAh 11.1v Lipo battery and convert it to a 3.3v power source for the boards. However, I also need this same battery to power four brushless motors

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, attitu

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 Ardu
