Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
My hobby is electronics and particularly with fixed wing and rotary wing RC aircraft. I currently have a TREX 500 and a TREX 600 Heli. I've been working on Simulink and Matlab models for Helicopter autopilots. Flying is fun, building something that flys itself is "funner" :)

"Cannot Connect to Mission Planner using AP2.62HIL...Terminal dos shell shows Bad Packet CRC fail"
Trying Xplane 10 with Ardupilot 2.62 HIL-Can connect Mission Planner with Arduplane2.62 software load (with GPS connected) and it will allow me to fly a plane with my Transmitter..everything seems to be fine except my IMU is driving the artificial…
"Anybody else got any more ideas..I've tried to reset/erase eeprom and reload code, disk defrag, changed usb cable and port,all of the comments above and still response very sluggish.."
"Seems like its dropping packets!?"
Having issues with Mission Planner 1.2.11 mav 1.0 and arduplane2.62...I've run several previous versions of the Mission Planner and ArduPlane and never had any issues at all with speed..It seems to be very slow and not very responsive..I can run the…
"Ravi, I've done extensive research with particle filters. I did my Master's Thesis on image processing and video target tracking with them. They are great with nonlinear non Gaussian systems and state models..Very Very computationally intensive.…"
"PID control loop gains are tuned for a specific response for a specific type aircraft but can accommodate some variance while still proving good control and stability. It is very possible that if you change the plant parameters, then you'll have to…"
"Does any body know how the fast the execution rate of the Ardupilot or Arudcopter software is the with current build without adding more code?"
"You guys need to relax with the price issue. Whats 18 dollars...Come on already , this is all open source hardware and software..What more do you want"
"Nice picture Stephen. I was out at Dugway a few weeks ago doing some testing on Grey Eagle. I work with the MTS system at Raytheon. I got to visit with the guys in the GSC..Fun job!!"
"Randy, with some modifications to the software and possibly hardware, it can be done. An IMU can certainly work underwater to provide body rates of your ROV. Again you would want to convert these body rates to something in an inertial frame. There…"
"Holy crap. I totally butchered that last post...Wow..Sorry I didn't really take time to read over it otherwise I would have made more sense..Thanks for all the posts..I agree with Michael..and thanks for the post..It looks like you can write,…"
How do you compile code for the DSP on the gumstick? I have only seen where you have to use code studio or code composer or some kind of IDE with complier and it costs quite a bit of money unless you get the free version which is basically a student…
