Thank you for showing interest in this project. I must note my RTL project is currently moving at a slow pace. At this moment I have a working easy star with the ardupilot for about half a year now. I would definately recommend you to take this…

JvcB, any updates on building a guided recovery system for high power rockets? I've recently got into HPR and really would like to incorporate a return-to-launch guidance system into the 2nd stage main chute.

One curious thing, I've worked out the reverse servo's etc in the airframe tester. However when I power up (in the house), switch to stabilization mode, hold the stick 2sec in the corner and remove the plug the elavator goes instant up. It…

Hi Jason, I got it uploading. I changed this line in the first tab of Ardupilot_25.pde: From this: #include "easystar_25.h" Into this: #include now a bunch of new errors poped up when I tried uploading the code So I changed it back into…

I'm getting the the following errors when I try to upload the Ardupilot_25. I am using it straight out of the ZIP file so I haven't changed a thing. All other test programs upload just fine except the ardupilot_25. C:\Program…

I have been busy trouble shooting the xbee's but got similar results as above. However after some fiddling with the Ardupilot (I removed the shield) powered up the Xbee through Ardupilot and tried X-CTU and Arduino serial monitor. X-CTU gave…

Problems solved guys. Thanks for all the support. I tried Jordi's approach and although it sounds like something one could think of yourself it actually did the trick. I removed the shield, inserted the GPS in the Ardupilot and within 1min (45s…

Ublox GPS questions

Posted on August 3, 2009 at 12:40am 8 Comments

Hi guys,



I've been waiting for the Ublox GPS to come back in stock at sprakfun but that seems to be taking ages.



What's new on the Ublox GPS, is DIYdrones taking up the Ublox GPS in store together with the antenna? Or should we wait untill sparkfun has them back in stock?



I also read somewhere that Jordi is making some kind of gizmo adapter in a way that non-pros' can use the Ublox as well without the fiddly soldering job? Not that it will be a big… Continue

Slightly of topic: ArduPilot for RTL recovery by steerable parachute???

Posted on February 5, 2009 at 9:30am 18 Comments

I’m completely new to this and a complete no-know about electronics but I have a few questions not related to a typical UAV.



For reference and typical for 2 stage recovery.



I launch rockets in The Netherlands and as a side project I want the rocket to be recovered by a steerable parachute and returned to a fixed waypoint. Preferable this waypoint would be right next to the launch pad. Basically the return-to-launch (RTL) feature… Continue
