How many push buttons should the ArduStation have 5 or six, I have ordered two ArduStation and both have come with just 5 push buttons but there are places for 6 push buttons on the board and all photos of the ArduStation show 6 push buttons being used. Can some one advice please. I have not assembled them yet, just going of the picture attached and some of the other pictures on the site.I can source the push button locally, so I not to worried about the missing ones.ThanksSee More
Garry Qualls commented on Sergio Rivero's blog post ARES Platform The Mars Plane"The big guidance & navigational challenges for ARES arise from performing an aeromagnetic survey to investigate Mars' crazy crustal magnetism. This requires multiple, offset, parallel tracks at a constant altitude. There is an IMU on board,…"

Sergio Rivero commented on Sergio Rivero's blog post ARES Platform The Mars Plane"The navigation is not quite as impressive as the Video Camera mounted on the Tail of the plane. They claim that they can read the writing on a candy wrapper sitting on the ground from a Mile up with it."

Sergio Rivero commented on Sergio Rivero's blog post ARES Platform The Mars Plane"Condor, I found this explanation for how they will navigate the plane on Mars. The link takes you to a PDF file with some data on it.

Sergio Rivero commented on Sergio Rivero's blog post ARES Platform The Mars Plane"They have a simulator you can download and see how it flys. It's under the Multimedia menu option. Kids might like it."
Sergio Rivero commented on Sergio Rivero's blog post ARES Platform The Mars Plane"Star Navigation, like Colombus.
Maybe they have mapped coordinates on previous missions to Mars and are giving it coordinates from those previous scouting missions. Just a thought."

"Spacecraft use celestial navigation (stars). Maybe that would work on Mars?"
Rory Paul commented on Sergio Rivero's blog post ARES Platform The Mars Plane"Anybody have an idea how they would navigate accurately without GPS?"

ModeratorChris Anderson replied to Sergio Rivero's discussion uBlox adapter battery
"Sorry, I stand corrected. The battery (it's actually a supercap) is rechargeable. It will last years, but each charge only retains sat info for about ten days. Config info is retained in nonvolatile memory."
ModeratorChris Anderson replied to Sergio Rivero's discussion uBlox adapter battery
"The battery should last years. No need to power the unit on to preserve memory."

Sorry folks I posted this in the Blogs section earlier this morning by mistake. My bad.I have a Newbie question about the uBlox adapter battery life span. 2 weeks + or - ?Jordi, do we need to power the unit up to retain the pre-loaded program when we receive it from DIY? I will be traveling to the North Slope Alaska for about two weeks on work and will not have a chance to play with the units till I get back. Your work on this equipment awesome and inspiring to an old guy like…See More
