Ricardo Nascimento replied to Lucas Cox's discussion GPS spoofing-what exactly is ardupilot looking for?
"Well I'm having the same problem you did actually. I've got the coordinates of my system converted to GGA, RMC and VTG sentences. I'm trying to send them usb to serial so it's a little different from your approach. I've set GPS_Type to 5 (NMEA) in…"

Hi, I'm doing a project where I'm sending my own GPS coordinates from my Android directly to the GPS port of the Pixhawk because I'm working indoors. I've everything wired up, with an OTG cable coming from my smartphone, then connected to a FTDI…

Hey,I connected an FTDI cable TX and RX to the TX RX of the GPS port of my Pixhawk. I want to send NMEA sentences from my Android on board of the quadcopter to the Pixhawk. I want to spoof NMEA data to be able to work indoors with my precise…

Ricardo Nascimento replied to Alex O.'s discussion Hardwiring APM 2.5 to Android Device
"The only documentation i have found is:

Normal Operation Maximum RatingsUnder these conditions all power sources will be used in this order to power the system.Power module input (4.1V to 5.7V) [refers to the voltage coming into Pixhawk from the…"

"Hi guys! I'm dealing with a doubt related to the wiring of an android device to the pixhawk. i want to use my android device connected with otg cable + ftdi usb to serial cable + df13 connector operating at 5 volts directly to the gps port of the…"

Ricardo Nascimento replied to Steve Dolinsky's discussion Receive MAVLink data via Arduino (Clarification Needed)
"I'm trying to connect my arduino to APM via UART0 and then connect the arduino to Desktop to try to see some data but my effort was useless as only rubish appears and even mission planner only receives the heartbeat messages and then shutsdown the…"

"Hey Steve! 

I'm trying to do the same thing but I'm a little bit lost. Did you managed to do it?

Thanks! "

Ricardo Nascimento replied to Ricardo Nascimento's discussion Developing a "Drone your Phone" system that boosts Quadcopter brain with an Android.
"Yeah but it will require a lot of work. 

I dont know if I can do the communication between the Android and the APM board without the Arduino ADK. Do you know if that is possible? "

Ricardo Nascimento replied to Ricardo Nascimento's discussion Developing a "Drone your Phone" system that boosts Quadcopter brain with an Android.
"Also other question, is it possible to make the sensor fusion to compensate measuring errors in order to obtain reliable data for the orientation on the APM board? Is this board ideal for being the main interface or do you recommend other board like…"

Hey there,I am developing an autonomous quadcopter with full on-board processing for indoor use cases so GPS is not an option for localization. The Quadcopter is a 3DR Robotics' Arducopter. At this moment it has a APM 2.5 board, external sensors (4…
