"Hello!
I am Nicolas, 22 year old, computer engineer graduated last year. I live in Lebanon and I've working with drones for the past 3 years. I used on-board computers in order to create autonomous flight with Pixhawk. The on-board computer…"
Hi All,I was wondering why we are still working on regular drones (multi-rotor) since VTOL aircraft have been made? Is there any advantage for copters over those VTOL aircraft?
Hi all!I am sick of using lithium polymer batteries lately. After using a battery for one month, it discharges faster then before. Also, while recharging it, I need to stay close to it for safety reasons (overheat, overcharge, explosions: as…

Dear All,I successfully managed to fly my quad-copter using pixhawk and an onboard computer (RPi). The goto, takeoff and land commands work both on SITL and on the copter. Now, I am trying to give the copter movement commands to track a moving…
Dear All,I have been searching the internet for a way to calibrate my ESCs without an RC transmitter. I was able to find two solutions:1- Use the software available in the pixhawk: mission planner --> terminal --> connect to px4 --> type setup -->…
I also apologize for my absence, I took also a few months out of the project.
I decided finally to use python to send the movement commands to the pixhawk (via MAVproxy) and I will extend my python module with C++ (OpenCV) using boost.
I…"
I thought this was the problem at first. I wanted to double check. Maybe that's because I placed the 3DR GPS/Compass next to the power module. Magnetic waves might interfered with the compass.
Hey Guys,Last week, I had the chance to successfully fly my quad-copter for the first time. Unfortunately, the quad-copter crashed from around 30 m height. You can find here attached the log file. I still don't know what caused this crash. I hope…
Well as you replied to Sergey, you can use the mavlink onboard integration tutorial to achieve your goal. However, since I am on a tight schedule I am willing to send commands via Mavproxy. Using my opencv C/C++ code for image…"
It's good to know that I am not the only one stuck with this problem.
I managed to successfully send commands to the pixhawk via Mavproxy.
This is my sequence of commands after running mavproxy.py according to this thread…"
Hey Guys!I am building my own quad-copter. I was able to calibrate everything and finished building it. Unfortunately, you can see in the video attached that one motor stopped and the others did a lot of vibrations. Also, we witnessed vibration of…
