I am working on a project for surveying oyster beds for a local oyster company. I need to be able to have a flight plan using GPS to fly over the beds and take pictures. However, google maps GPS data doesn't match up perfectly with the actual…
Recently I have been talking with a guy from my home town who owns a local oyster company. Every couple weeks/month he has his workers boat out to the oyster beds during low tide and they are patches of 10 acres or so and they have to walk in the…
I am consistently only breaking or cracking the propellers on the left and right side of my arducopter which are the ccw propellers. I have cracked 7 ccw vs. cracking 1 or 2 of the front and back cw propellers. I would like to be able to purchase…
"Yea, I assumed that, but where does the second servo go? Would it have to be mounted to the camera or something? I don't get it. This mount does not have a way to roll....makes no sense."
"I still don't understand how the camera mount part alone can control the tilt/roll...tilt and roll aren't the same are they? Why does it say you have servo's plugged into channel 5 and 6...isn't there only one servo to control the tilt of the camera…"
I've heard that engaging simple mode during a flight malfunction, such as the quad getting turned around in the wrong direction, can save the quad so that you can "bring it home" and get control of it again....But my question is, if the quad is…
I have heard a lot about soldering the filter pads and covering the baro with foam for the arducopter, but where are the filter pads we need to solder?
"And as far as the stabilization goes for the camera mount, on channel 5 that controls the pitch, does the stabilization part mean that if the arducopter goes up in altitude then the pitch channel will tilt the camera down to point to the same spot?…"
The current code is setup so that channel 6 on the APM can control the tilt of a pan-tilt system correct? Because when I use my Futaba's channel 6 knob when the servo is plugged into the output channel 6 on the APM, and the input 6 is plugged into…
Yes, I have performed the Xbee tests and I get all the correct readouts on the serial window, so I know my Xbee's are setup up properly and that they are on the correct baud rate and they are indeed communicating with each other. However, when…
