Hi there, I am Diego from Venezuela, i want to start in the UAV proyect after being rc modeller for 15 years and robotics entusiast for a year, http://aventgps.blogspot.com
Hello guys!
Here goes a little video of my recent flight!
Morning happy today with ArduCopter Beta. :)
Good time flying there, even with some wind. I needed to change the commands quickly sometimes because of wind, but the response of the IMU and firmware is awesome to keep it nice.
ArduCopter is awesome nice! And I'm not talking it as a member of the core team, but as an user. When you fly it, you'll understand why. Happy flights… Continue
From Xconomy: "A couple of startup companies set a world aviation record last night.
But they were pretty low-key about it. As I walked into the Future of Flight Aviation Center in Mukilteo, WA, a half hour north of Seattle, I saw little activity. It was after hours, and the…
ArduCopter is now available for pre-sale in the DIY Drones store in the US, too. This is the same kit as the Fah Pah model, but without the APM board, which you must buy from Sparkfun as usual. (This is due to regulatory rules in the US).
The price is $439.90, reflecting the fact that it does…
The ardupilotmegacomm library is successfully sending/ receiving HIL communication and is sending/receiving the standard ardupilotmega binary protocol. yagcs and dronegcs (several ardupilotmega ground stations) both currently use the library. I updated the apmcomm library to fix some bugs and also added hardware in the loop support. I renamed the project from apmcomm to avoid a bunch of misc. hits on google. I have packaged a linux version using cpack -G DEB, but could use a developer on… Continue
First flight ends in a crash, but I attribute that to pilot error rather than a problem with the copter. This flight did bend one of the legs slightly. I believe the holes I drilled to reduce weight have compromised the strength of the leg. I will replace with solid pieces.
Second flight. No crash, and quite a stable… Continue
Thanks to all in AeroQuad and AduCopter communities for their inspiration and ideas. I submit this photo record of my build hoping that it may help others.…
Yet another Ground Control Station project has begun. It's little more than a proof of concept. There is absolutely no documentation or error trapping and is not overly functional... but hey, you've got to start somewhere.
Looking for constructive feedback on OSBM - Hard or Soft I suspect.
My motion is that successful Open Source brands, such as Arduino, DIY, Linux etc... are the natural distributors of derived works, and should (therefore) encourage derived works specifically by hosting a marketplace for them - in which they charge a fee.
The argument in favor is that google searches and other reflections of mindshare will gravitate to the Copyright holders; derivative works are therefore… Continue
After completing testign campaign and delivering the first examples we have
rushed to publish a short documentary. Pteryx is an UAV designed for civilian
use, together with its mission-oriented autopilot. Our focus is in reliable
operation and single button interface. basically you… Continue
