"I've been corresponding with both Sam and Kelly and I'm excited to see the enthusiasm. My plans for autonomous soaring are a bit different. I'm planning on an architecture that uses a Raspberry PI to do the soaring calculations and will simply…"
Hey guys. This may be slightly off-topic but I thought I'd cast a wide net and see what I could come up with.I've been experimenting with autonomous soaring based on modified code running in on ArduPilot hardware. I've had some limited success…
Hi all,I'm trying to develop some algorithms based on VS and of course I'm trying to debug them in HIL using XPlane. When I call barameter.get_climb_rate(), I don't seem to be getting the value I'm expecting.Two questions: Is this the right…
Hi All,I solved a strange problem this weekend, but I'm not sure why it's a problem. Here's what I'm seeing:Hardware is APM 2.5 running Arduplane 2.68. When I have an airspeed sensor hooked up, enabled and have "use airspeed" checked I see really…
All,I've got an idea for a new flight mode specifically for gliders. Glider pilots use an algothorithm based on work done by a man named MacCready. Basically the idea is that there's an optimal speed to fly depending on the thermal activity the…
