"Anwar, thanks. I had the wrong wire connected on the ardupilot. I swapped CTS with Rx and now the IMU gets a lock, but nothing happens when I switch to stabilize and it wont allow any stick movement through. I'm thinking it is…"

Harry commented on Chris Anderson's group ArduPilot (legacy) User Group"I guess that EM406 is junk if trying to use it with ardupilot or ArduIMU. It only runs at 57600 binary or 9600 NMEA and it refuses to switch between modes. That makes it worthless. I will try one more time to get it to work in Sirf…"
Harry commented on Chris Anderson's group ArduPilot (legacy) User Group"The way the IMU is connected to ardupilot is the CTS line of ardupilot is connected to the Tx line of the IMU. D6 on ardupilot is wired to D8 on the IMU. If I remove the CTS/Tx connection the IMU blinks. Connect it back up and the…"
Harry commented on Chris Anderson's group ArduPilot (legacy) User Group"This is completely frustrating. I got everything wired up and now the IMU wont indicate a lock. I know it will in standalone, but when I hook it up to ardupilot nothing happens. The ardupilot will change in and out of modes with…"

Harry commented on Harry's blog post My Ardupilot(legacy) Platform"I was having a problem getting the Blue Led to stay solid when it has a fix. I tried a bunch of craziness and finally got it to work by modifiying the arduimu.pde section that deals with GPS fix indication. It now works, blinks when…"

Harry commented on Harry's blog post My Ardupilot(legacy) Platform"Thanks for the compliments. The airframe is my own design, made the mold for the fuselage pod and used a form to mold the V brace for the tail. I have plans for a balsa wing, but this $8.00 foam wing is the right shape and span and wont…"
"What platform is that? +1 on the looks, very snazzy! It must be a pusher powered unit.
I have considered the APM<2 as a first step but it seems the pricing is not competitive with APM2. It might be if you are building your own shield or using…"

Here's the plane I will install my Arduimu and Ardupilot(legacy) into. I still need to build a motor mount and wind the motor. It should be stable as it is based on a previous version which was very stable. I'm aiming for 10-12 ounces AUW and around 50W.See More
Harry commented on Chris Anderson's group ArduPilot (legacy) User Group"It compiles for me. No need to write the full path."
Harry commented on Chris Anderson's group ArduPilot (legacy) User Group"Anwar, I looked in arduino directory and there is a directory arduino/hardware/tools/avr/avr No need to have a seperate compiler. The header files are in arduino."
Harry commented on Chris Anderson's blog post How to program the Attiny on ArduPilot""Use the at168 pins"... hmmm, that would be to load the bootloader? Just slide the AVRISP mkII connector over to the next 6 pins, same orientation? The red stripe closest to the Attiny side?
In either case, I have big problems now with…"
Harry commented on Chris Anderson's blog post How to program the Attiny on ArduPilot"I believe my 328 based ardupilot board(red) needs the boot loader reprogrammed. I say this because it was fine and would load programs, then I let it run for a month and now it wont load new versions and I get the stk500 errors that the manual says…"
Harry replied to Chris Lane's discussion A little confused...."Does the IMU output need to be translated into something Ardu understands? It took a long time before Ardu was adapted to both NMEA and binary Sirf. I can only imagine the nightmare. Ideas are simple, reality is the beoyotch and I have no choice but…"
Harry replied to Harry's discussion Optical stabilization"I havent given up on this, just yet. The current idea is to attach sensors(FETS) to the wing tips and the difference in voltage, due to the gradient of the atmospheric ionization, will indicate attitude. Maynard Hill did it first using a piece of…"
