Artificial Horizon in processing 2.0

I found a program written in processing 2.0 that takes mouse movement and displays it in an artificial horizon and a heading indicator.  I added serial and changed the input from mouseX and mouseY to the Euler angles coming from the ArduIMU.  The hea

I'm still playing with DCM

I burned out my ArduIMU V3 and still want to play so I took my flip1.5 with the MPU6050 and created a Frankenstein version of the 3DR ArduIMU1.9 code.  I got rid of the fastserial headache and used FreeIMU to initialize and retrieve the sensors over

Using Quaternions

I've tried several sketches with the ArduIMU V3, the stock DCM version and FreeIMU and Martin's DMP.  The stock DCM works for me, but I want to DIY.  Right now I have FreeIMU loaded and I changed the quaternion sketch so it will work with ArduIMU Tes

Arducopter 2.9.1b and MP 1.2.46

I'm using a 3DR APM 2.5 on a tricopter and it has a problem.  I was getting resets and thought it might be not getting the right power, so I charged my lipo that powers the board.  I went out to try it today and it somehow lost calibration on the acc

Using Blender for parts

Hi, I'm new to the idea of 3D in general but I see it's power.  I've been playing with Blender 2.6 and know just a little and not enough yet.  Anyway, I want to print airfoils and a spar to hold them.  I took an airfoil from Xfoil and used it as a ba

Novice Programmer Questions

I dont want to litter the place with nonsense, but I'm trying to learn and have hit a brick wall.  I took Jean-Louis' tricopter code which runs on IMU V2 and tried many different ways to add IMU V3.  I assembled a PPM encoder, Cut up an old GWS Rx fo

Add 2 more In Flight Modes

I found a discussion for getting 5 switch positions out of channel 5 on a DX6i and it also works on my JR XP6102.  What I want to do is add 2 more switchable modes to Ardupilot 2.7.1 which currently uses these 3 position outputs from channel 5.  I lo

Troubleshooting Ardupilot with 328Atmega

I received my Ardupilot board(328chip) the other day. I carefully soldered up the minimum connections and used the FTDI 5V breakout board to upload Ardupilot. I upgraded the Arduino to the latest. Something isnt right now. My problem started with my

Optical stabilization

I made this video by running the video through RoboRealm and using the optical flow module. I captured the x,y vector variables and overlayed them, as well as the flow vector. This software could on a fast machine rx video and output these vectors ba

SirF protocol

Hi, I am waiting for the new Arduino Board and am trying to read up on everything. I've looked at the code some and trying to understand what I can. I have a EM401, not the 406. The 401 speaks Sirf, but I know there could be a difference with the 406
