I am a high school student interested in drones and autopilots. I hope to be able to write some code and learn about the design of drones and autopilots. I would like to know how important math, and more specifically calculus, is in this field? Could
Read more…I am interested in learning how to program on the Arduino, I decided it would be a good time for me to get into programming micro controllers. I understand where to start with the micro controller part, there are many books out there with many tutori
Read more…I plan on getting a bachelors degree in electronics engineering, and perhaps computer science as a double. Possibly going on to get a masters in one of them. If I wanted to work on UAV design, as in the technical parts, not the design of the aircraft
Read more…I thought it would be an interesting idea to get to know any fellow DIYers out in this area, and possibly start a collaboration, or a group to be able to work on projects. I have a senior telemaster that I am fixing up in preparation for a drone proj
Read more…Something has been somewhat confusing to me. No matter where I look, I cant find a straight explanation as to how autonomous aircraft stabilize themselves. I know the Ardupilot uses thermopile sensors. Do real drone aircraft use thermal horizon senso
Read more…I just got my ardupilot, but noticed something wrong. Next to the 8 pin square chip I noticed a lop sided black component. I touched it and it fell off. After comparing to the image in the manual, it appears there was nothing there in the first place
Read more…I was going to get the EM406 1HZ GPS for $60, but saw that this d2523t 4hz GPS is only $20 more. I see that it has a similar connection, and output. I don't know if it will work though, can someone verify weather its compatible?
Read more…After some fun with the FPV plane I recently built, I was looking for the next step. I decided my next project would be to outfit it with an Ardupilot. I have looked at the Ardupilot before, and just did some more extensive research, and here is what
