    John,

    Yes, you should see the Arduino IDE opening up. What OS are you running?
  • John
    It sounds to me as though its loaded!
  • For me it takes about 15 seconds for the program to load. I have 196mb in the folder for version 16. Check to see if you have all the files downloaded. Ultimately, try version 15.

    You can tune the gains of the fly by wire. Work like this: Normally in autopilot the GPS navigation part tells to stabilization: Bank 40 degrees to the right, turn 30 degrees to the left, in order to navigate. In fly by wire i replace the GPS with the stick position, so when you move the sticks of your control you are setting the position in degrees of your aircraft. Do not matter if you move full right your stick it will never rollover. ;-)

    NorthSweden,

    Yes that's correct! Get fun.

    Those are in the Arduino libraries. To operate with gyros you need to A) get good at C and B) spend a year studying Kalman filters. Seriously, that is a PhD-level project.
  • I try to make a fligth with out FMA co-polit. i just want to use gyo system.
    So i'm studying the open source to operate the ardupolit with C programing tool. (actually i not good at C.)
    But i cannot find the header files(WProgram.h, pins_arduino.h).
    How can i get the files?
    What should change the open source to operate gyro system?

    Yes, Sean is right. But it's worth noting that we never "integrated" the original Co-Pilot, either. ArduPilot 1.0 was/is a navigation-only autopilot, which is to say that it was completely separate from the stabilization system and could thus work with any of them. So 1.0 can work with the Copilot 2 just as well as it did with the original Copilot

    For the more recent ArduPilot code, we've used the FMA sensors, but not the Copilot. It will not be compatible with the new FMA sensors, and Sean is right that we'll probably be moving to an IMU by the end of the year and leaving thermopiles behind entirely.
  • FMA Have discontinued the FMA Z sensor (FS8ZS). Are there any plans to change to ardupilot to accomodate the replacement copilot2 which is digital?
  • Chris: I double checked and I figured out what's wrong. It wasn't fried... the header that I soldered didn't make complete contact with the metal in the hole... i resoldered carefully (considering i've resoldered it so many times before it was a big mess) and it's working perfectly now... =)

    anyway, my crazy project I wanna tackle is actually an eCCPM heli... to tell you the truth i don't even know how to fly this thing!... anyway, studying the Ardupilot code is really helpful... I wasn't even aware before that you could tweak the chip to create hardware PWM... you guys are super helpful... thanks again...
