I'm playing around with writing my own app using the APM2.0 hardware and the associated libraries that come with the ArduPlane open-source code. Basically I'm replacing the setup() and loop() with my own stuff and trying to do just some really simpl
Read more…I recently received my APM2 and am trying to figure out how the auto/manual mode switch is handled.
In the original Ardupilot (the atmega328 based board) this was done in separate hardware, so when the toggle/selection switch on the selection channel
Read more…I'm finally getting around to soldering headers on my ardupilot-mega board (1280 version) and trying to get it up and talking. I downloaded the arduino-1.0.1 environment for linux 64-bit and got that up and running. I connected my FTDI cable and th

I have a gps track formatted in kml (and I could probably massage it into a variety of formats or restructure the kml if needed.)
Basically I would like t

I've been looking a bit at the ardupilot firmware and as best as I can tell, no where does the code compute an actual airspeed.
I have a question for the DIY community. I'm looking at a situation here where I will have 4 or 5 (maybe 6) devices to power. They all can run from a standard 4.8v RC receiver pack.
Hi Jordi,Thanks for all your help getting me to the point where I can drive 4 servo outputs from the ardupilot.My next task is trying to read the value of another channel in from the receiver.Earlier you said there is only one pin free. Were you refe
Read more…Hi Jordi/Chris,I have a question about the "remove before fly" plug in the ardupilot code. I only see this briefly mentioned in the manual, and only from the perspective of where to solder and what the plug looks like. I haven't found any explanation
Read more…Hi,I'm staring at my ardupilot this morning and the ardupilot code and I'm not making all the connections in my head.I see that the v2.2.3 code is setup to be able to read ch1 and ch2 coming from the receiver and is able to drive ch1, ch2, and ch3 fo
Read more…I ran through the ardupilot setup instructions and successfully uploaded the default ardupilot code (v2.2.3) to my ardupilot board. I can verify this code runs by connecting up a terminal program to the usb/serial port with the FTDI cable connected (
Read more…I have a rotomotion autopilot kit on my shelf that I'd like to find a good home for. This was purchased back in August of '02. I had a buddy of mine who's a good hardware tech begin the assembly process. I think he installed the cpu on the main board
