Nice Graham! One thing you might consider is some thing like this GSM tracker to find your goods if things go wrong. I can't vouch for this but the price looks good.

Tend to agree with Gary. I did some more test on my Maxi Swift this weekend in fairly strong winds and all I can say is WOW! even with stabilization switched off I could easily control this gem full blast to hover landings.

ArduPilot1. with EEPROM function.

Posted on May 27, 2009 at 3:47am 3 Comments

It would seem I’m not the only one using ArduPilot1 code so I fiddled with the code and took some extracts from

Ardupilot 2.1 and used it to save the home alt in the EEPROM.



When the autopilot resets it self during flight or is reset by the user (quick 5 times toggle of AP switch) the home position (WP 0) would reset and for that given position during the flight the alt. will be “0”.

If you descend the alt would read something silly like 65000 subsequently with AP armed… Continue

ART-TECH AUTO PILOT

They call it an Auto-pilot but are a copy of the FMA Co-pilot.



Looks like it does everything Co-pilot does but

without servo reverse function.



I have no idea on pricing either and got the following specs. on it:



Voltage: +4V to 6V

Reaction Time: 1/60 of a second

Within 2 degrees… Continue

Hey, so het jy al die autopilot gekry om te werk? Is dit die moeite en geld werd of moet mens eerder vir die pappazari een gaan? Waar rond is julle? kaap se wêreld?

Hai, Ek is in Pretoria... Kan ek 'n groot guns vra, as jul weer met die ding vlieg kan ek miskien sien wat jul als doen. Ek is besig om met een prof by Uni te reel dat hulle 2 kits koop sodat ek met een kan speel. :) Sal sien of dit nog gaan gebeur... Anders sal ek maar net self vir my een moet aanskaf.

Hi

Nog nie eers tyd gehad om dit die eerste keer te toets nie... Lag my 2 borde is duds... Bygese ek kort nog die 2 adapter bordjies vir my zigbee's. Het die vakansie begin met my eerste "strap a cam 2 a plane" aksies. Was nogal verbaas. Ek het ongelukkig Potch toe getrek, so is nie net meer in Pta nie. Sal wel nog daar uitkom, miskien vinniger as wat ek dink, wil graag 'n aerial mapping diens aanbied. Laat weet hoe jy vorder.
