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: new

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 mes
Read more…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 have

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 se

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 t

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
Read more…Hello DIYDrones,
I was wondering where in the ArduPlane code is the current waypoint index is stored. For instance, when the UAV is flying toward waypoint 1, where is the variable in ArduPlane that stores this value? Furthermore, if the UAV was flyi

I have two question related to MAVLink commands. First, I'm trying to send a MAVLink command to my MAV which will make the plane fly to the desired waypoint and then continue on its mission. For example, If the MAV's mission was A-B-C-D-H
