I've recently tried to setup APM for my new flying wing and discovered that it is not safe to fly in other than Manual modes =( The reason is servo throws for most flying wings must be limited, but APM limits them only in Manual, in all other modes s

I've fixed my EPP FPV plane and uploaded latest firmware via Mission Planner. Setup and go!
Manual take-off - all great, hit Stabilize - perfect and smooth, then I switched to RTL - plane started to circle around, fighti
Read more…Just an idea - nowadays 3G modems cost nearly nothing with their free plans for few months. So I guess it has main chip which can accept AT-Commands like:

AT+CMGF=1

AT+CMGW="+85291234567"

Hello there! I'm building my own car-drone, but lacking ideas.
Just wanted to know what could be this kind of drone used for? Any practical stuff? Any fun/geek stuff? Tell me what you think! Thanx!

Read more…In my setup I'm using 5 out of 6 channels on TX (5th is used for APM Mode switching). So, maybe I can use extra channel for uploading missions to UAV while flying in TX range?
More ideas about:

I'm having weird delays. I've checked CLI radio test and it's all fine there. So I'm guessing it is an issue of APM Planner software.
I've got delays from moving stick and showing it on the graph starts from 3 sec and keep increasing. I've s

Whenever I switch APM to FLY mode (handle of the switch closer to DIP-switches) both boards (oilpan and ardupilot mega) got shut off! No leds, no ftdi virtual com-port in computer's device list. And the buffer chip(74act157 on APM board)

I've just purchased ardupilot mega v1.4 and arduIMU v2 flat. For now I've connected ardupilot to my own ftdi cable which based on ft232rl chip. Many of my projects were tested using that one. But for arduino I had to solder CTS and DTR w
