About Me:
Aerospace student, working on Quadrotor UAVs.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Im working on a Quadcopter, hoping to make it autonomous. Also interested Autonomous fixed wing vehicles, and swarming UAVs.

i want to use an external gps, how do i disable the built in gps
"Heres the log file of the crash after a few mins of flying"
My skywalker's apm tends to crash after a running for awhile. the airlerons lock at a certain angle, the rudder deflects and all of it leads to a spiralling crash. I can't understand why suddenly the power goes off to the board, (the imu lights go…
I'm designing a Canard configuration uav, to use with APM. I know that only elevons and traditional control is implemented so far but, i'm am hoping the community can help me modify the code to add the necessary channels. I'm am hoping, eventually…
"i'm trying to build a skywalker platform too, but stumped with what motor to get, what are you using to power your skywalker?"
pool noodles to keep the quad floating in water, and super impact resistant cf strip landing gear :Pjust kidding about the water
I want to try making a Canard - Elevon platform for the ardupilot. The reason is that I can fit all the electronics into the fuselage easily and the control linkages are pretty simple. Another main reason is that CG balance is easy to do while…
"I want to try the elevons with a canard, where the canard would be an elevator. Canard planes bring the CG forward than a flying wing or delta, making CG balance easier for me. I have a platform ready just need to figure out how to add the aux…"
I'm looking for some advice, i built this platform hoping to put the ardupilot on it, but im unsure as to how I can get the canard to work through the ardupilot, has anyone tried Canards, and elevons with ardupilot, (how to connect the servo…
Trying something with a canard for Ardupilot, might just end up using elevons only.
"do you handlauch this? or bungee?"
"quad copter frame - light weight, structural rigidity and strength, easily replaceable parts if you break something on a crash
Electic jet motors? do you mean EDF? in that case those need velocity to work, and is highly inefficient for hovering…"

"Im trying to something similar too, going with an mid mounted pusher, dual boom design... some pictures or sketches will be nice :D"
"lol and each of those quads are pretty expensive too
heres the my arducopter version. Pool noodles shroud ftw!!

"Oh I c. thank you for that information. Will try to figure it out. i have my board pins forward facing down.. maybe its not enabled that way in the code. Because north was showing south..."
"yea thats how i got it to stop drifting.. i had to hold it for 30 seconds to get into that mode though"
