Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am working with a group this summer and my objective is to fix our autopilot mechanism. Anyone with experience successfully flying 3ch aircraft please feel free to give me some advice.

"Soren,
I have never worked with video, but I have spent the last 6 months working with a MAVLink protocol ground station. Do you use Xbees for your wireless communication? If so you can write a simple c++ program to monitor the serial data…"

"@Paul,
I haven't had any problems compiling AP 2.70 when using the arduino1.0.3 windows version, provided on this website. What I am trying to so is find a Arduino version that will allow me to compile on an Ubuntu machine."

I'm using the Arduino IDE. I have been working with ArduPlane version 2.63, but just recently decided to update to version 2.70. But, whenever I pulled in the new firmware and tried to compile i'm receiving these errors:ArduPlane.pde:-1: error:…
I'm trying to change the rate at which telemetry message are sent from the APM. I know that you can change the parameter values for the stream rates in the APM Mission planner. But, i'm confused on what there values correspond to and the minimum…
"Ok, I've done some more testing and it seems that if I edit anything in GCS_MAVLink it messes up the stream. I tried editing in the GCS_MAVLINK::data_stream_send function and I also tried editing the send_message function, but it seems like if I…"
DIYDrones,I've been tinkering with the ArduPlane code some. I have written my own mavlink message that sends down specific information from the UAV. In GCS_MAVLink I have written the function to send the message (just like all the other MAVLink…
It seems that it isn't possible to connect multiple UAVs to Mission Planner. What would be required to allow one ground station to monitor multiple UAVs in the air? It seems like there was some intention to implement this because each UAV can…
DIYDrones,I'm wondering if anyone can answer a simple question related to the MAVLink messages sent from the APM. I am running a program that uses a XBEE via USB to monitor the messages sent from the APM. When I run this program, using an APM1, I…
"I've done some more research. It seems like the APM2 will only send out heartbeat packets. Is there some sort of acknowledgement sent back to the APM after a heartbeat message is sent, which makes the APM2 start sending mavlink messages? Maybe…"
"Just FYI I have followed the protocol for generating custom MAVLink messages, so that shouldn't be the issue."
Hello,I have been experimenting with the APM hardware for almost 6 months now. I have been able to write a custom MAVLink message to send down from the APM to my ground station. So far, I have been able to successfully transmit this message using…
"No insight on this? Where is the Mission Planner developer when you need him/her? I've decided that the seq is just an incremental number associated with the number of times a mavlink_waypoint_t struct is sent. Can anyone confirm this?…"
DIYDrones,I was wondering if anyone could give me some more information on the exact information that is sent in the mavlink_waypoint_t structure when sending a guided waypoint. I understand that current is set to 2 to distinguish a guided waypoint…
"How much does it weigh?"
"So, I've been doing some research and I think the do_jump command is not what I am looking for. Here is the description of the do_jump command:
entry value="177" name="MAV_CMD_DO_JUMP">
description>Jump to the desired command in the mission list.…"
entry value="177" name="MAV_CMD_DO_JUMP">

"On that same note, does anyone what the waypoint index for the home location is? "
