Ok so Im kind of confused. I want to run a video camera that recommends a 3s 11.1V Li-Poly with JST plug and a plane that uses 11.1V 1000mAh Li-Po Battery and the ardupilot that iIdon't really get…Continue

MikeInFrance replied to Daniel Nugent's discussion Bixler Battery"if I understand U right, U want to use the same battery for the motor and for the the FPV and other electronics stuff....
This is a no no!
Your electronics will suffer from too much variance in voltage when operating the motor.
And I think you want…"
Mike M replied to Daniel Nugent's discussion Bixler Battery"The power numbers are pretty simple: 5000mAh x 20c = 100Amps. 100Amps at 3s = 100A x 11.1V = 1110W. I think you can see this is more than enough power for a Bixler. I have a similar plane and there's no way mine could fly with APM + FPV…"

I want to put the APM and video equipment(range video 12v 600mw 1.3ghz transmitter + camera) in a Bixler and wanted to make sure I was choosing the right battery. I would like to use one battery and have the APM/rc receive be in parallel with the video equipment. Didnt know if this was a good idea with the hole discharge rate. I wanted a relatively long flight time so I chose the…See More

"Daniel, if you can't tell how complex it is from looking at the code, I suspect you should not be trying to write this stuff from scratch.
Like Pedro mentioned, it all depends on how skilled you are at programming C/C++ and what kind of…"
Pedro Santos replied to Daniel Nugent's discussion Custom code on APM 2.0 in the group Learning to program the Ardupilot Mega"Hello,
The time you will take heavily depends on the experience that you have. Good programming skills and electronics knowledge are a must in this kind of challenge. In a one man effort, I think it will probably take a couple of years to achieve…"
Daniel Nugent replied to Daniel Nugent's discussion Custom code on APM 2.0 in the group Learning to program the Ardupilot Mega"Yeah I have nothing wrong with the code. Its so good I have nothing to add. I dont just want to buy a uav and assemble it. I would like to make it a project and learning experience. Is it really that complex? I was just going to do it piece by…"
Ron Curry replied to Daniel Nugent's discussion Custom code on APM 2.0 in the group Learning to program the Ardupilot Mega"BTW, I didn't mean to imply that the ArduPilot code is "junky". It is not. It's reasonably well organized and fairly well documented and makes good use of modules and libraries. As with anything there is always room for…"
Pedro Santos replied to Daniel Nugent's discussion Custom code on APM 2.0 in the group Learning to program the Ardupilot Mega"Hello,
I've written a lot of code portions to expand ArduPlane to a particular project that I'm involved, mainly to add rpm sensors and temperature sensors. I also have added more Mavlink messages to send the additional data to…"
Ron Curry replied to Daniel Nugent's discussion Custom code on APM 2.0 in the group Learning to program the Ardupilot Mega"Hi,
Lot's of folks are writing portions of code from scratch.The current Ardupilot dev team consists of about 5-10 expert programmers and another 10-15 people contributing code. Same for multiWii and other full autopilot projects. I…"

Hiim planning on writing code from scratch and was curious if anyone else is doing a similar thing.See More
Daniel Nugent commented on Jean-Louis Naudin's blog post Full autonomous Cross Country Soaring flights with the ThermoPilot v6.x"Very cool! Thought of the idea two years ago! Had no idea how to approach it. I didnt have the knowledge and skill. The funny thing is, that plane was one of my choices for the project also. Haha. I love that someone else though of it and made it…"

Hello,Its been a while since I've been here and alot has changed. I have tryed to catch up with the changes but I may be rusty on the newest versions of ardupilot and diydrones' progress.So I've been researching doing a UAV with image processing for a while now(2 years), but my skill level and technology have never matched. Once the Android ADK came out, I thought of using the android for communication, video feed, and image processing. I'm pretty good at arduino programming and processing is…See More
Daniel Nugent replied to Cuddy's discussion Software altitude limit?"400 miles!? the space station is at 250 miles. im also designing a high altitude glider and i am using the balloon approach. i had thought of a rocket to give it height but didnt know what to use. which one are you planning on using???"
Daniel Nugent replied to Cuddy's discussion High Altitude Glider"I had the same idea 6 months ago and now im trying to figure out the bugs. I was going to use ardupilot but i figured out one problem. you would know that air density at those altitudes is extremely low. making surface control hard. it can be…"
