Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I'm interested in the applications of UAV and AI to the field of permaculture.

"Is it RC_X_REV ?"
hello, in previous version there was a "invert" option on the RC calibration page to invert axes from software (my pitch is inverted, and doing it from the RC will cause problems with autopilot and other stuff).I don't have switches on my board.How…
"Nope. And since I'm away I won't be able to do so for a while. But this is really a great insight, I didn't knew of this function.
(I'll post here a link for my and any visitor future reference. https://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Test )…"

"A submersible open source UAV project already exists http://openrov.com/ (for those asking about this feature). It's quite clear that such feature would require a much more expensive hardware kit.
Nice project"

Hello, after a crash my APM 2.5 has kinda broken. Mainly it doesn't seem to be able to interface with the GPS and I cannot access the logs.I was wondering how could I estimate the gravity of the damage and if it is possible to try to repair it, or…
Hello, I understand that for a piloting purpose the yaw servo is nice to have, but could a drone work just fine without it? If so, could the ArduCopter software work on a tricopter that hasn't got it, or some tweaking would be necessary? (I'm…
Hello, after my plane had a bad crash the sensors on the APM still work fine, but the initialization stops at the B led (although on the GPS the fix led goes solid and all connections look fine). The only thing that I changed hardware-wise was to…
"Today batteries have already been made obsolete by a lot of technologies.
It's just a matter of time for this to be implemented. I suppose.

My quad had a mild crash upside down (hitting the field with its motors). One of the motors stopped to work, but at the end of the day it started again.Now when compared to others it's clearly visible that it spins slower. In flight the quad is…
Hi all, I've been wanting to assemble a small coaxial copter controlled by Arduino. My goal would be to build a really cheap surveillance drone.BUT, I have a number of questions:would the top balancing bar be needed in a computer-controlled copter?I…
First of all I was wondering why quads are so popular and helis so relatively unpopular in the ardupilot diy world (at least this is the feeling that I've got comparing the number of topics on the two models).Then I was wondering if there existed…
I wanted to build an ArduPlane to start doing FPV flights, and I'd love to hear some suggestion on the matter.My main doubts are regarding the fpv equipment:what are the most important characteristics that I should look at and why?how much of a…
My quad crashed into a house while in auto, but the logs display that it should have been in the field (they are incorrect).Green arrow: were should have landedBlue arrow: were he thought he was goingRed arrow: were he wentThe compass was faulty (no…
"at the moment I've solved this issue connecting the Gear pin on the receiver to the input 5. Although this is not the solution, it enables me to use 2 flighting modes. In future I'll try to dig deeper into the RC documentation to solve this mystery.…"
"After looking at the updated page on wiring I fixed all the cables (now I'm using only 5, all matching the instruction). Still there is no command that will change the flight mode when looking at the flight planner. Any idea?"
Hi all, I just got my hands on a Walkera Devo 10 RC, but I cannot seem to be able to change the flight modes to engage the autopilot. I've connected the first 7 channels of the receiver with the first 7 input pins in the ardupilot: should I connect…
