About Me:
I'm a post-doctoral researcher in robotics at Aberystwyth University.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I've been using the Ardupilot with flight gear to do some simulated UAV scenarios. Some of my colleagues have also been using real Ardupilots for doing glacier surveys in Greenland and i'm now using my simulations to help develop better mission planning systems for them.

"It should be possible, but you'd need to find a suitable flight gear model and might have to modify the protocol a bit to transfer data about each rotor's speed instead of the elevator, ailerons, rudder and just one motor."
"I've not had any problem with death spirals on banking, have you tried limiting the maximum roll rate? As for the reflashing problem, I don't see any other way to do it. The firmware needs to be quite different to read the sensor states from the USB…"
BackgroundA hardware in the loop simulation uses the real ArduPilot, your radio control unit, the servos and motors in an aircraft but the autopilot outputs are passed to a flight simulator which returns simulated sensor data.A few years ago I used…
