Matias, the new MediaTek's use new firmware (version 1.6) that's not supported by ArduIMU--my apologies for forgetting that  (ArduIMU is an older product and I haven't used it for ages).    You can change the…

So, the MediaTek GPS arrived... Unfortunately, no real progress: Changed the GPS Type to 4 in arduimu.pde, connected the GPS to the ArduIMU board, and uploaded the modified code. The Mediatek GPS kept blinking blue for a while, and then went solid;…

Matias, everything you need is all in the tabs above---no need to wander through the forums.    We recommend the MediaTek GPS, which is the smallest and most robust of the 4Hz modules.

Thanks Chris, I'll goi and see if I can work it out. Having said this - as in a next step we would want to change to the Mega, and perhaps also play with Arducopter - what would be the GPS module of choice? I'm puzzled by the contributions…

Matias,    You're looking at the wrong libraries. It actually uses subclasses in the AP_GPS folder. It should be loading the AP_GPS_SIRF code when you select the EM406.   That said, I haven't tested that module and I…

ArduIMU and EM406 - Libraryfile missing?

Dear community, I'm looking for help on the following situation: I have successfulli installed Ardupilot in my plane, using an EM406 and Thermopiles. Using Ardupilot V2.7 and Arduino 0022, it took me a few trials to get the GPS working; finally with the GPS plugged directly into the Ardupilot (not the shield!) everything worked fine. Successfully completed the test phases (Stabilize, Fly-By-Wire A and B and finally Autonomous flight, where I managed to hit fourteen out of fourteen waypoints,…See More

Hi Chris, the thermopile enclosure is made fro a piece of cardboard tube. On top of it sits half of an empty scotchtape reel (both covered under black tape). The "golden" cap is a part cut from a small spraycan cap (If I remember well, it…

Very nice! Much neater than anything I've ever done. Where did you get that round enclosure for the thermopiles? Could you replace all the Eagletree gear (including the redundant GPS) with Xbee telemetry from ArduPilot and just datalog from…

Ardupilot integration into the new robbe Arcus

Dear DIY community,just wanted to share first pictures of a new project - integrating Ardupilot into the new Arcus Sport glider (a product of robbe here in Germany). The Arcus is an electric glider with a wing span of 2.6 meters, completely made out of "Arcel" - a similar foam like Multiplex's "Elapor". It comes as an RTF kit, complete with six servos (rudder, elevator, 2 x ailerons, 2 x flaps, ESC, and a brushless outrunner for about 260 Euros (350 $).I have integrated the Ardupilot into the…See More

You write that you are not prospecting for anything in particular, so I assume you don't just want to map Earth's magnetic field but want to map anomalies or constructions like power lines, railways or whatever. Aeromagnetic surveys have…

You might want to look atPNI micromag which is supposed to have a better resolution. Also, a wide scale magnetic model is freely available (see WMM here). Although there certainly are local variations, the magnetic field is supposed to remain…
