Hi, does anyone have any logged data for the 3DR uBlox GPS? I am specifically looking for at least 1 hour at a fixed point, outdoors with decent weather. I am considering buying it to use for my Thesis Rover project, but I would like to see how…
"Wow, that is amazingly different... It's like you took the design from the Ebee, changed it slightly and then called it your own. Take a look at this: http://www.plagiarism.org/plagiarism-101/what-is-plagiarism/
turning in someone else's work as…"

Any ideas? I'm working on a project too. Can't figure out how this code works. Can't do Serial.begin, Can't do digitalRead. "

"Hi John. Here is the code that I wrote for the matlab-mavlink interface. It's not very efficient and doesn't work very well, maybe you will have better luck. Currently the way that it works is that it reads the mavlink xml file for the apm,…"
Hi all, I'm kind of in a bind and could use some advice. I am working on my thesis and am developing a quadrotor for indoor machine learning purposes, and I mainly have access to a lab space that's about 25'x25'x10' tall. Our lab:My quadrotor is…
So after some searching I haven't found much for using Matlab with mavlink. There is an active project using simulink but that isn't a whole lot of use to me. So I have started working on writing a matlab project that can receive and display…
"Any chance on putting up a .stp version? I'd like to put this in my Autodesk Inventor model of the Arducopter.

"Sorry if you've already fixed this issue. But you will not see a roscopter.msg file. I may be wrong here with my understanding of ROS, but what this is doing is that in your package "roscopter" it will import all the files in the msg folder. In…"
"Here's a video of my progress so far. Still a long way to an indoor flight but I'm making progress at least.
From the video's description:
This is a intermediate testing video of the ICARUS SLAM Project. This project uses a Kinect, the rgbdslam…"

"Also, if I go into the CLI terminal, navigate around for a little while, then go to test>gps I get the "Init ArduCopter V3.0.1" text, like its rebooting. Then I get a bunch of garbage characters, although after it says "Ready to FLY" I get "NMEA…"
Hi all, I'm working on sending GPS data to my APM using a SLAM algorithm and am stuck. I soldered between pins 2 and 3 on the GPS and have it hooked up to the 4-pin UART1 (not the DF13 plug). So far I am just sending these static messages at 38400…
"I just started working on integrating this with a ROS node communicating over MAVLink (over TCP, but maybe UDP as well). I'm also looking at Andropilot."
Hi all, not really a question, just wanted to fill you in a little. After some work using Yogesh's original roscopter code and modifying it heavily (here's a link) I am working on my next project, using a SBC along with an APM to perform indoor…
While working on my Tiltrotor project I had a need to have CAD files of the Arducopter. Since I could not find a good source for these I ordered the Arducopter and CAD'd them all in Autodesk Inventor and put them on GrabCad here:…
"Not exactly the "world's first." Saw this at a presentation several months ago, this was a student from IIT's Masters Thesis. He was studying friction coefficients and energy efficiency, and developed algorithms that would provide the fastest…"
"@ Andrew: Thanks for all the questions and information. The initial calibration was done using whatever calibration procedures the APM does on its own upon powerup, to simulate a normal usage scenario. As far as the compass settings, I am unsure…"
