Autonomous flight mission with the ArduPlaneNG v2.x R5 and AIOP IMU board on Maxi Swift flying wing

Do arduplaneNG provide Camera Triggering and do_set_servo functionality ? thanks

I don't know... perhaps some #define is incorrect ? Do you have

#define CONFIG_APM_HARDWARE  APM_HARDWARE_PIRATES

in APM_Config.h ?

I have a v1, so I cannot tell for sure.... But I guess it should be ok.

Oups, sorry, I meant ArduplaneNG (not ArdupirateNG).

Hi. You have to use ArdupirateNG. The hardware of the Crius board is not compatible with the Megapirate code (sensors are connected via i2c bus in CRIUS, but Ardupilot uses SPI, etc.)

hey i have the multiwii pro 2.0 so this ode shoudl work, but i have an issue, i cannot get to to compile

I copied the libraries into the arduino folder, i copied the arduplane into the arduino folder and dragged and dropped arduplaneNG2x.pde onto arduino.exe to open it

I upload the Megapirate code, revision 300, and I think it's better (but I can't fly, because one day very windy, another rainy or snowy in Hungary), if I switch to stabilize mode, the servo's endpoint settings working, don't go to mechanical servo endpoint, if I turn the plane aileron or elevator direction.

Here is the source of code: http://megapirateng.googlecode.com/svn/branches/arduplane/

I'm curious, how working the plane (950 mm flying wing) in the air

Yes, I am following that RCgroups thread too ! But the title is not that explicit, since it does not mention ArduplaneNG :-(

By the way, is the "diff" of between JLN's ArduplaneNG and the Arduplane 2.4 available somewhere ? I would like to estimate the amount of work needed to port the newest Arduplane versions (with wind estimate, dead reckoning, etc.) to the Crius AIOP board. I am wondering if the modifications are confined to a few files only, or if they a spread almost everywhere in the code (unlikely, but...).

There are RCGroups thread made for ArduplaneNG... Discussion and so on. Would be great to see all ArduplaneNG users there!
