About Me:

I am in montreal, i always have been interested in having the advantage of distance and flying, so after a few years of spudgunning wich brought me to purchase a lot of tools (metal lathe, drill press) and build some longe range precision rifles, i have been stung by fpv flying and gps waypoint long-range flying. I know how to program in PIC micro and build some robots (line following, target locking)


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I want to build a drone with preprogrammed, long-range capability's waypoint flying (at least 10 km)

Yannick Cyr commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post Can you name this platform?
"Altough i am not certain of it at all, some research has lead me to think its name is Moai B, and made by ECR.
Searching for it gives only very rare good results. It could be a japanese UAV that nobody ever dared to traduce a single article of it."

"Why not call him VSS Condor ? or VSS Harlequin ?
Simply VSS + Cool bird name, to get things such as :
VSS Kestrel, VSS Merlin, VSS Griffin, etc ...
 
Hope you like any of them :)"

"When will the naming contest be opened ?
I have a pretty good suggestion ...  I'd sure like to participate to try to win one of those !"

"I would need to confirm my theory to test the receiver servo output

On my 1 channel soundcard oscilloscope, could i connect two servos outputs to a single probe (the other one to ground) to observo two channels at the same time?

If the servo are…"

"For the ADC i meant the IMU sensors

for the i/o pinsi have three 8 bit registers so its not a problem
but i dont have 6 interrupts pin availible so i will probably make a pwm to i2c decoder

What i need to know then is if the pwm signal are emited…"

"Thank you for your answers

instead of an ppm encoder, could i use an i2c encoder (wich would be another 18f dedicated to only that) to free my main microcontroler?

ad also, is my 18f2525 having the nescessary power at 32mhz to sensor fusion the 3…"

Hello everbody,I am on my first drone project and i would like to know how do you people do to relay the rc Rx to the servo with a micrrocontroler ?my 18f runs on 32 mhz and the program that i have made to relay the rc rx would only be giving me 1.4…
