  • Sound like a challenge to me.

    I actually was part of my schools AUVSI UAS competition. I have a ground station in the works written in C++. What code will the software be in? Also, how will the autopilot itself connect to a computer to input the way points(ie via usb)?

    @gman: We don't have two-way radio telemetry enabled yet, but it's on the roadmap. Of course this is an open-source project, so you're welcome to do our work for us and implement it first!

    @Alberto: We do not have signal-loss RTL enabled yet, but that should be a pretty easy matter of adding it to the code. Or (as with the comment) above, you're free to do it yourself and share it with all of us!
  • Hi : I wonder how will the ardupilot react in case you loose rc signal or just have weak signal ( control in and out ) and you haven´t engage the autonomous mode ...??
  • Hi everyone, I am a aerospace engineering college student who stumbled upon this website and I am very excited.

    Is there a way that I could use something like a XBee and make real time changes to the GPS way points? I'm not sure if there is a ground station in the works, but I think it is something that is definitely worth it.
  • does it work with V-Tail planes like EPP Eagle ?

    We're working as fast as we can, but I still don't have a date for you. Making a few boards is easy. Making hundreds, reliably, is hard.
  • any idea when the big day will be?
  • I know rear read read. I figured it out from the sch.

    We have no plans to connect a second GPS connector for an OSD, but you're welcome to modify the board to do that yourself if you'd like

    For ArduPilot, you need the CPD4 head and block; for ArduPilot Pro, which is not available yet, you'll just need the head.

    We are planning to make ArduPilot compatible with 5HZ GPS modules, including micro gps and Ublox5. Stay tuned.
  • what you think about add a second gps connector in the board in order to connect also an osd using same gps?

    finaly will be possible to buy just the cpd4 head and connect it to ArduPilot? or its necessary the use the cpd4 block ?

    will it be compatible with that micro gps ? http://www.nghobbies.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&...

    im very happy to see that project progressing,
