I love me some science.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I have an Arducopter.

"So the same pins that the MinimOSD normally connects to the ArduPilot board with?"
"One more question now that my shiny new cable has come in: how is the FTDI cable to be connected to the MinimOSD board? Was that written up somewhere in the FAQ and I missed it?"
"This is awesome. Wanted to check, I have a couple different ISPs (AVR_ISP2.0 from a KKmulti rig, an Atmel ISP, and an Adafruit TinyISP). Is it possible to use any of these to program the MinimOSD or do I need yet another cable? :)
Thanks."
Thanks."
"Just so I don't misunderstand, then, that's just a power pass-through to the camera, the OSD draws its power from the 5v rail of the telemetry port? Thanks for taking the time to answer, by the way, I appreciate it."
"question re: power for the minimOSD: My video Tx passes 5v to my camera. Does the MinimOSD require 12v between camera and Tx or will it take 5v on that line as well? I think my camera can do either but the wiring harness is a lot simpler if I can…"
So as of yesterday I am unable to make a MAVLINK connection through my telemetry gear, but only on my laptop. When I hit connect (yes, port and baud rate are right, CLI switch is in the flight position) the connection window immediately disappears…
Hi all As of today I am unable to upload firmware to my APM. Any help would be appreciated, here's the data I've got. I have two APM units, one for my quad and one for a fixed-wing I am building. As of a couple of days ago the quad unit worked…
"Too close for missiles. Switching to guns."
I'm currently using an FPV video rig (on 5.8GHz) that's outputting to a small screen in my field box and/or a pair of FatShark goggles. I'd like to try using the Mission Planner video feed and will need to purchase a USB video converter thingie…
In general, what direction would PIDs be tuned when moving from 10x4.7" to 12x4.7" props on a mostly-standard ArduCopter? When putting together my current FPV rig I found that I got more stable flight at lower throttle settings using the larger…
"Upgraded to 2.0.24 through the Mission Planner today and now my baro is crazy. No change in the hardware since yesterday's flights - my baro is covered with a small piece of foam from a pair of headphones, no sonar but I have magnetometer and GPS -…"
Hi all, I'm sure I missed something basic but: my copter is not saving any flight logs. Going into the CLI in the logs function, I see that GPS PM CTUN NTUN CMD are set to log enabled, but every time I use the Log Download function it tells me "No…
"Update: Today I removed the sonar (which, as I never specified, is an LV-MaxSonar-EZ0 from the diydrones store), disabled it in the CLI through APM Planner, and went for a flight. Altitude Hold and GPS Loiter now work at all altitudes I tested, I…"
"Wanted to add to this, just in case it's useful information: each time I lift off I start stable, and immediately the copter begins adding progressive drift and I need to deflect the sticks more and more to hold position. I believe but can't swear…"
Looking for some suggestions to try and troubleshoot an interesting problem. I have a standard ArduCopter kit (the most recent version from the DIYDrones store, + GPS / magnetometer / sonar, but no telemetry) and am running 2.0.23. In addition to…
"I have the same issue using 2.0.23, starts off dead stable and as I fly I have to use more and more stick to keep it in place. It looks like the drift tends to start off in a random / wind-driven direction, but as it compensates for the stick the…"
