About Me:

I'm a student at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. I'm interested in space systems but as an aerospace engineer have a lot of opportunities to work with UAV systems.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I work with a group at NASA Marshall to use a hexacopter as reference complex system for failure analysis and recovery. I enjoy designing embedded systems and have an interest in modular UAV systems.

Hello! I have a couple of questions about the Ardupilot SITL feature:Does it support hexacopter modeling? I’ve been able to run it as a quad and octacopter, but when I try to use a hexacopter frame it builds for a quad.I have ArduCopter 3.2.1…

"Jacob,
I am currently working on a project to detect and recover from motor failures. Would you mind providing your log files for review so I can see how the vehicle responded? I'm not able to fly outside due to my location so testing is difficult…"

"Hey Rai!
Are you using Arducopter software or the PX4 flight stack? I can help if it is Arducopter as I have interfaced with the Pixhawk over a serial connection.
