Hi there,
I intend to use an Ardupilot with IR thermopiles (full XYZ solution) and Ardushield on a glow-engine flying wing.
I have 2 high torque metallic servos controlling the elevons on the flying wing and 1 standard servo controlling the throttle.

More updates regarding this problem (it starts to piss me off!):
I use ArduIMU, Ardupilot and Ardushield V2.
I use the latest Ardupilot software version and ArduIMU software version 1.8.1
I get solid blue light on LED on ArduIMU but Ardupilot
Hi all,
I have Ardupilot, Shield Version 2 and ArduIMU with a GPS module EM-406A. I programmed ArduIMU, Ardupilot and connected between them according to the instructions given in the manual. I choose to have MANUAL mode for control 1 and STABILIZE f
Read more…Is ArduIMU compatible with GPS module EM-411/EM-406A?
I see in the manual that the GPS module is compatible MediaTEK or UBLOX5. But I guess it should also be compatible with EM-406A/EM-411...
Thanks!
Read more…Hi there,
I purchased a GPS module- EM-411. Here is the link: http://www.futurlec.com/EM-411.shtml
As far as I understand EM-411 is identical with EM-406 the only difference being that EM-411 is ROHS compliant...
Has anyone used this GPS module with A

I already got Ardupilot with Ardushield V2 working with thermopiles and Ublox GPS.
Now I moved one step ahead and I am using Ardupilot with Ardushield V2 and Arduimu. I programmed everything with the latest firmwares available on the project
Hi there,
In the near future I intend to install Arduimu (together with Ardushield V2 and Ardupilot) in a glow engine powered plane. It is a 1.7 meter wingspan plane with a 12.25 cc glow engine.
Has anybody tried to use Arduimu on a glow engine power
Read more…Hi,
I flew Arduimu today with Ardupilot and Ardushield V2. Since I don't have any GPS module available, I only flew the autopilot in STABILIZE mode. In MANUAL mode everything is trimmed and the plane flies OK.
However, in STABILIZE mode the plane banks
Hi there,
I was trying to use Ardupilot (2.7 software version- latest from the server), with Ardushield V2 (airspeed sensor and thermopiles (including the Z sensor).
I successfully flew this setup with Ublox GPS. I wanted to make a change and explore t
Hi there,
Where in the code can the altitude for Return To Launch- RTL be fixed?
What altitude does Ardupilot consider for Return To Launch- RTL?
What does the parameter #define AIRSPEED_RATIO 0.1254 do?
When should I increase it and when should I decrea
Hi there,
Assume you have a not very well balanced plane. Let's say it is tailheavy and it is almost impossible to fly it manually.
Would Ardupilot be able to fly it? Would it be able to compensate fast enough so that to keep horizontal flight?
Thanks!
Hi there,
Has anybody tried an Ardupilot and a R-700 Graupner receiver?
Are there any reasons for which a R-700 Graupner receiver would not work with Ardupilot?
Thank you!
Hi there,
I am using Ardupilot with Ardushield V2, Ublox GPS and throttle control through ardupilot.
Firmware: Ardupilot V 2.7 (latest version from the project's website).
1.) How do I set up the altitude for the return to home? Or is Ardupilot just try
Hi there,
Has anybody considered developing/using gain scheduling for Ardupilot?
Maybe something as simple as different sets of gains (P, I, D) for different airspeed intervals...
Would gain scheduling be something of interest for Ardupilot community?

Hi there,
Today I flew Ardupilot with FMA XY IR sensors. Since I do not have a Z sensor, I did the calibration according to the manual (each lens pointing the sky for a few seconds etc.).
The ENTIRE sky was covered with clouds (rain clouds); cloud alti
Hi there,
I am using Ardupilot with XY sensors from FMA Copilot. I do not use a Z sensor. I mention that throttle is controlled directly from receiver (Ardupilotdoes not control throttle). I have shield V2 installed but I selected not to use airspeed
Hi there,
I flew ardupilot for return to home in order to compare its performances with a "homemade" solution.
I had GPS lock before take off (I use Ublox GPS).
I tunned it so it does STABILIZATION very well.
However when I engage return to home, the

I studied the Ardupilot manual online but have some questions regarding the initial field setup.
I am using Ardupilot with Ardushield V2 and XY thermopile sensors from Copilot 1. I am also running Ardupilot code version 2.6 on the above confi
Hello,People from rcgroups adviced me to post the following questions here.I have some question (s) related to arduino autopilot. These questions are actually related one to the other questioning similar "situations".1.) Let's say that I design a tra
