hello all..im new to drones and autonomous flight..i have a good general knowledge or rc,electrical systems and general electronic circitry....just try to get some input on how to incorperate all of it,what i will need for parts and tools,what i can expect to spend and just some good pics of all the other blogers projects(as long as its not top secret lol) thanks guys (and hopefully girls) for any info...
yeap , i read them . i know i have to go trial&error , but before i do something i like to learn a bit an have a seed to teawk ( that´s the EasyStart_v2 ) ....... ok , another question , why we need to use Setup utility ? can i do it manually in the autopilot code ? if not that means that the waypoints goes to another memory ,so... how they comunicate each other ?
Do you have a suggestion/idea were I can put the airflow tube in this plane ?
No need to load code for a failsafe--that's an ancient post, long outdated. It sounds like you have everything you need. Have you tried just following the manual's instructions?
Here another newby ( totally newby in UAV, but good RC pilot ;-) ) , trying to find info about the ArduPilot language (code) , steps to build , how to program and so so .......
I already have :
-Hobbico SuperStar plane w/ailerons (and the radio)
-ArduPilot board
-Shield expansion kit with airspeed sensor
-GPS module EM406
-XY and Z sensors
-FTDI cable for programming
I already read the ArduPilot Manual but I feel I´m missing something ....... I´m mean the whole thing .....
example ..... i just read in some page that I need to upload or load the code for the failsafe system ...... ¿? ;-(
Can some one give to me the steps of what I need to read ?
