    We have announced plans for an IMU-based ArduPilot Mega around the end of the year. We don't manufacture ArduPilot ourselves, so we let our partners sell it.
  • Hi,

    Do you have any plan to integrate accelerometer/ gyros based stabilization system for your Ardupilot?
    And also I would like to know why you’re not offering Ardupilot board in your own stores? (It will be more convening for the new buyers and we can save our shipping cost as well.)

    Regards
  • Posted here earlier: You can put it inside the plane's fuselage, etc as long as the plane is made out of the usual materials. Should face up towards the sky.
  • There is no front or back, any way will do. But there is a top which must face up.
  • Does anyone have connected a X-3D gyro (http://wiki.xufo.net/wiki/X-3D) withe the Ardupilot? I purchased a Silverlit X-UFO (http://wiki.xufo.net/wiki/X-UFO) and I wonder, whether I can use the gyro with the Ardupilot oder the Ardupilot to control the Silverlit x-ufo...

  • Guys,

    Anyone have any luck with the Locosys GPS? I've got mine hooked up, the blue LED is flashing and flashing and flashing...
  • sorry John Chris seems to have the best solution there.... as well he is right we really ought to post more in the forum with a specific topic and specific discussion on that problem This way others can review it later in a more organized fashion. Just my 2cents.

    John,

    I don't know why, either, and it's too hard to figure out why telegram-style in this sort of forum. I'll PM you my address; just send it to me and I'll program it for you and send it back.

    John,

    This may not be the root of your problem, but as I said before you should not connect a battery straight to the board unless you've changed that solder jumper to BATT. You will burn out the board that way. Instead, connect your battery to your Rx, and then connect the Rx to the ArduPilot board via one of the servo leads. There needs to be a power regulator in the loop somewhere.
  • ok so you have power, my blue and yellow do not flash I only have red. Do you have the gps unpluged? you have to unplug it to update the software far as I know unless you have the shield and are running 2.x of course I am talking a little out of my a$$ right now because I just started reading this the other day. These types of discussion should be in the forum maybe? that way it's easier to group problems and search them.
