i guess that could be the problem (for the GPS storing 0,0 location) :
#define FAKE_GPS_LOCK 0 //If is set to zero will jump the GPS lock process to set home position. FOR TESTING ONLY!
the default is 0 shouldn't that be 1 ???
ok i'm on to go fly it without GPS i'll tell later what happens....
i'm reading, (and trying to see how to tune up the PID loop) but i'm thinking, do you know a tool that you can use to tune and test the PID on the bench??
and seens i'm reading the chapter "PID tuning software", i'm asking if there is a chance to see an auto PID tuning software in the fututres versions of the soft?
this afternoon i'll fly it without GPS and try to change some values and see if it oscillate (but how can i see on bench cause that would be quicker)
You need a current sensor, you can use Bill current sensor found in sparkfun. And you still have ONE analog port (analog 4) in the ardushield that can be used to measure the amps you system is happily eating.
Hi Jordi,
I got my speed sensor board today.
Also, do you measure current on plane motor and which sensor ?
I know how to do battery voltage with a resistive divider.

I would buy the equipment to mount my UAVs
I have questions regarding the XBee modem, could you help me?
I am using 72 MHz RC
Transmitting video and audio of 2.4 Ghz.
I buy the 2.4 GHz XBee or 900Mhz?

I think that current sensor would be a great addition to your shop and the 2.2 code.

900mhz is the best choice.
