About Me:
Senior mechanical engineering student at CSU Fullerton. Loves planes, love electronics, and love combining the two.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Key project ATM is to create a low cost, completely open source UAV with full autonomy (from take-off to landing, and airspace negotiation capability).

"Goh,
By default your APM is going to transmit some barebones messages over a telem link whenever one is installed. You can always configure exactly what data is transmitted every so often through the APM parameters.
To get started, I would just…"

"Since the others here have given such a great list already, I'll keep mine short:
RTOS for the arduplane device/control loops
APM multiplexing (multiple redundant autopilots, voting algorithms)
Integrating an ARM based processor for mission…"

"So, I have found my own answer after much experimentation. After examining the QGroundControl source code (no easy task, even though their code is beautifully organized and encapsulated), I found that the message handling functions employ a simple…"
"I should mention that I've opened the link with PuTTY, and was able to use the CLI just like in the mission planner. When I tell it to reboot and resume flight mode, though, I don't see any readable data, just garbled characters that I imagine are…"
Hi Folks, I'm looking for a way to integrate telemetry data into a custom software project, for use in ground station processing of aerial images. Specifically, I need GPS coordinates and body angles of the aircraft in as close to real time as…
Hi Folks,I'm currently working on a UAV using the APM as our primary flight computer. The drone is primarily to be used for surveillance and target detection/identification, all of which we are performing on a windoze box at the ground station. Due…
Hey guys,I'm looking to setup a pan/tilt gimbal, stabilized by the APM, with targeting input from the video operator on the ground. (Note that the video operator will NOT be the guy flying, hence my post here :). We want to have one guy 'flying' and…
Hello all,I am currently working with a team at CSU Fullerton to design and implement a UAV system. We are designing just about everything: from the airframe and related systems to the onboard image processing capabilities and more. At this stage in…
"I think you've managed to get at least a few of us behind your concept, Dr. L. I think your brute force method may end up working, albeit with some trouble at first. What are your ideas for the airframe? Also, does it necessarily have to be a UAV to…"
"Mr. Stew,
I implore to research this topic a little further before you continue to badger us here. An academic discussion is taking place, not a name calling contest. If you would like an example of this, please google for and find the papers…"

"I'd just like to point out, (siding with Brad and OP), that the hybrid concept is still a valid one for aircraft in general, and is actually under study ATM by Boeing and others for use in civil aviation. What a lot of folks are missing in this…"
"What sort of response are you looking for? Are you looking for tips on designing the plane, or on usage of APM? Maybe the electronic paraphernalia required, or which construction method to use? My point is that yours is a very open ended question,…"
