"Awesome! I've been trying to work on a UBW32 based UAV too, but I've been really lazy and haven't touched it in a while.
But now I have something I can work towards, so thanks for the motivation! It looks awesome."

Arduino Mega(or for those of us who don't speak Portuguese)Looks like this board will soon be released, which could be very nice for anyone that isn't planning on using the ArduPilot boards, and it might even be compatible with the ArduPilot code…
A while ago I posted about Sparkfun's UBW32 board. After a lot of reading up on the processor and reading some code samples, I finally have a (sort of) working rudder controller.In keeping with the spirit of this site, I'm attaching the project…
A very rough prototype for controlling the rudder of a UAV using the UBW32 board from Sparkfun
I'm trying to decide if I should get the 5 DOF IMU from SparkFun, or if I should get the FMA copilot.I've read the pro's and con's of both, but I was wondering if the replacement copilot sensor can be hooked up directly to an A/D converter.I imagine…
"Call it a hunch, but I bet the UAVs will do better than any UGVs :P
Good luck to anyone here who participates, be sure to post lots of pictures and videos!"

"Have you done a range test with the LN96?
Sparkfun says it can do 1500 meters, but I don't know if that's just theoretical or actual performance.
Also, very nice servo control!"

"I've never done it, but there seems to be a lot of stuff online about adding ailerons to the EasyStar.
It might be nice to do since you'd get more control, and all the room, but I don't really know if it might change around other things in flight.…"

SparkFun has a new PIC that seems to have some very nice stats.It's not quite as useful now that the ArduPilotPro is almost ready, but it does look to have much better performance.The datasheet shows the most power hungry mode at 75mA max, and…
"haha Funny how that timing worked out. I'll read up to see how they did their radio system. I was considering using the same module but I don't really trust it for long ranges.
I was hoping that maybe because the decoding of the radio messages…"

"Choosing radio modules seemed to be cheaper (about $160 for the pair (although of course that doesn't factor in the other circuitry each would need to be fully functional)), more versatile (it's not really limited to finite channels, just bandwidth,…"
To start, I want to thank you all for such a great site! I came here about a year ago and never quite got over how fun it would be to build my own UAV, so I'm finally going to try it.Ideally the UAV would be able to receive some simple commands (fly…
