hi all,
We have been doing some photogrammetry testing for the last couple of weeks. All cameras were hanging in gimbals with wibration damping. I am still not convinced that the compact digital camera on a smaller multirotor is not the best solution;

It doesn't work.
We tested the cable on a the Sony FDR –

My understanding (as someone with a UAS Controller's Certificate) was that you could not fly any drone above 400 feet without an area approval from CASA. The

Thanks.

When we went to charge it at 5 amps, we killed two I charger 208Bs and then blew up the power supply.
Something's not right.

Read more…So I have been mapping happily with Arduplane and Pixhawk, but now I want to take photos from a multirotor. I have set up an APM 2.6 to the stage where I can take photos using CH_7 on my transmitter. It works. All good.
Now I want to take photos using

Not sure if this is the right place to post.
We are testing the SF02 laser for auto landing and have it working and communicating and are now trying to implement into Arduplane code.
It looks like the altitude is updated through update_alt, but

What can I say? Plugged the external LED in to the I2C splitter and no pretty lights. I have the splitter plugged into the I2C socket on the Pixhawk and the external compass is also plugged into it. The compass is

The images attached (photomosaic and blown up section) were taken on the weekend. I am flying a Skywalker X7 with a Nikon J2 camera using a Pixhawk and triggering the camera every 30 metres.
The problem I have is that the pictures can be taken
Read more…Hey All,
Just putting a Skywalker X7 together and was wondering if anyone has experience with the bright orange wing attachment things?
1) Do they work? SOme say the clips break easily and you are better off using the plywood attachments.
2) Do you use

I have several multicopters with Wookong and Nazam which have been great but am now looking for more flexibility with AC.
I have built a new frame, installed an APM2 with Digi XTend modems and have established communications and followed the gu
