"Chris, This is known as "poor mans dgps" and there have been a number of discussions in the forums and elsewhere.  In principle, the Ardustation could do it, but would not work well because the processing should be with raw GPS data…"

Ardustation 2 Version 2.0.14 Release - Fixes parameter updates, adds all D terms

After a bit of work I'm finally releasing version 2.0.14 of Ardustation 2.  The missing D terms had been in place for many weeks, but through testing,  I found an issue with parameter values timing out when full feed is started. This problem was due to the amount of Mavlink traffic approaching the limit for an Xbee and causing the parameter response messages to be corrupted. I've added a parser change to allow the parameter responses to be transmitted correctly - even when Mavlink 1 Hz messages…See More

"What about sending the gps position info down on one of the audio channels for the video feed.  Several other trackers do this.  If you stream the position from the APM at a reasonable bit rate you should be able to pick that up on the…"

"Willem, The Ardustation has a specific connector for the Xbee radio and I don't have a 3DR so I'm guessing a bit.  The ground 3DR uses USB and that isn't compatible with the Ardustation unless the serial transmit and receive…"

Mixing Rocketry with Arducopter 2.5.3 - SLRA Launch March 31, 2012

Posted on April 10, 2012 at 10:00am 6 Comments

I'm the secretary for our local St. Louis rocket club: St. Louis Rocketry Association and decided to bring out my Jdrones frame/APM 1 to the launch to do some 2.5.3 testing and at the same time shoot video of some rockets with a GoPro Hero 2. I'm using the Jdrones stabilized camera mount - although I'm still adjusting the camera mount gains and dealing with jello video. The GoPro video was also sent to the…

This is an update from the original blog post in October 2011:

I've updated the Ardustation 2  source code to allow compilation with Arduino 1.0 Relax and the latest libraries for ACM 2.5.3 and APM 2.3.0. This update also includes a modification of parameter names for PID editing that match ACM and…

Modified Ardustation Software to Support the Arudcopter and a Tilt/Pan Antenna Driven By Mavlink

Posted on August 1, 2011 at 7:32am 197 Comments

I've modified Phillip Anthony Smith's Mavlink Ardustation to support an inexpensive tilt/pan antenna platform. RAM is very tight in the software so this is not a laptop/ground station replacement and the original software was…
