"Hi, you have 2 mode in XBee protocol : Unicast and Braodcast, so you should use the last one. therefore, a modified configuration (registry) is necessary! See Xbee Specs."

Rx Data From Multiple XBee's

Hey guys, i'm just wondering how one would Rx Data from 2 or more Xbee modules, you could think of it as 1 gound station tracking multiple UAV's. I've got no problem tracking 1 xbee module. I have not tried more than 1 yet. Just posing the question ahead of time. ThanksSee More

"SCP1000 is digital, I2C or SPI depending on version. So no ADC on the uC side here."

"hi Benjamin, With that thing it looks like you don't need a altimeter, looks like it could carry your house too, so House knob would be good name :) Just kidding"

"Getting a MPXV5004DP and plugging the static port might work. Or just using a SCP1000, MPX4115, or some other pressure sensor. And then doing the ADC on the microprocessor."

Hey Guy, I found a great gps visualizer.

You can use it for bench testing or for a GCS. Enjoy

I'm still confuzed on the power for the board

Hey guys I've fried 2 boards already, first one dunno why. The second time was a stupid impatient error of judgment. Anyways, unlike most of you I have a Nitro engine so no ESC. I'm tired of shorting my board so I want to make sure I understand 100% where my power can come from. I got my board in the mail yesterday, but the back is stamped 1-12-09. It looks like the new ones. I'm not a newbie to electronics, I'm just paranoid now. Thanks

Hey guys, I was setting up my autopilot system for my senior thesis "Building a UAV for Remote Sensing and Cartographic Applications" when I guess I burnt it out. No power to the board, including direct power, and yes i switched the jumper. :-(.... The whole board seems toast. I ordered two new boards today. I followed the wiring diagram and all. I'm thinking there was a surge somehow. If you guys have any ideas let me know....



P.S. The programers won't even read the board :'-( Take… Continue
