  • No it's nothing to do with fab. Have you read the ArduPilot manual? There is an ardupilot gcs and an ardupilot config tool (waypoint editor). You really should read the manual! Here is a link to the page about the config tool
  • good question. the config of the gcs allows you to choose any google sketch up 3d model :)
  • wow this looks awesome. as for the compas .... whys it a plane i have a quadcopter ;) hehehe just kidding or will have a quad copter
  • Have you used the config tool to set your waypoints? BER is the bearing and CRS is the course. The ap software has already performed the calculations. There are telemetry messages when the ap starts confirming the waypoints. Home should be deduced from the first gps lat/lng. Other telemetry messages will tell you which waypoint # the ap is currently heading towards. Set your waypoints then switch on the GPS SIM type. I think it is type 5 from memory. If you use the "sim" the ap will pretend it is flying toward each waypoint. When the sim has visited all waypoints it will circle over home. You should see your gcs controls reflect the journey without leaving your desk :)
  • I am using the same air gauges for my project and i need to get the values of the altitude and heading indicator properly. and i realised that the altitude provided by the EM406 gps module is not the one we need.
    and from the CRS and BER values, how do i set a reference waypoint? and do the program have a calculation to calculate the bearing with CRS and BER values?
  • by using the CRS and BER values, how to i calculate the bearing value?
  • it's "under development" at the moment and needs documentation. I will release it when I have added atto and apm binary. It has also moved to a google earth 3D system which requires more dev time to make it efficient.

    What information were you hoping to find? Maybe I can give you the info to build your own?
  • do you still have the zip file of this project? because the links in the previous posts are broken..
  • Hi Darren, I used the CRS and BER from the ArduPilot telemetry stream
  • can i ask what hardware did u use to control the heading indicator?
