APM 2.0 is the culmination of almost a year of hard work. We wanted to make it perfect and we…

Hi there! Finally you can pre-order the ArduIMU V3 here.. You can find more info abut it in my last post here. 

The final…

Drotek a small French  startup sell a new 10 DoF IMU that can be interfaced with Arduino cards ( 3,3V and 5v with an…

Long time since my last post!

I'm glad to announce the new ArduIMU V3 that will take the place of the very successful ArduIMU v2 (flat version). We called it flat version because ArduIMU V2 was created in a time where 3 axis and even 2 axis gyros were not so common and we had to place some of the…

I was looking for a parachute ejection system for one of my small UAV and I found the miga motors nanomuscle. Cheap  SMA system linear actuator (less than 10$ unit), I was thinking about using some instead of the servos on UAV.

BoardX is a collection of electronic circuit boards from Upgrade Industries that stack on top of one another to share resources, communicate, and extend the…

Now that I got a couple of weeks' vacation from the army I finally had the time to work on some new hardware. Last week I made directional antennas for my UAS: thanks to IBCrazy for his fabulous BiQuad tutorial on RCGroups. Only an antenna tracker was missing.

Paparazzi GCS includes an antenna tracker -controller but as I've recently been…

I'm building my own inertial navigation system --- one that isn't super complex, doesn't involve fancy filters, yet will provide plenty of accuracy. It's all about purposeful building... designing and building for what it WILL do, not what it MIGHT or could possibly be able to do.

With…

Funny movie i made while waiting.

This is the sequel of my previous post, that I had to abandon more than 1 month ago, without actually being able to fly it... Ok, it's still not flying, but…

Here's a long post about my first attempt at building a quadcopter.

One interesting and rather different feature is that I tried to use a .NET micro framework board (FEZ DOMINO)…

I made this video showing the Ardupilot dreaming, the HK´s GCS taking telemetry data, and sending Tracker commands to an arduino, wich is driving two servos on a Trackers base.

Thanks…

(I´d specially like the last part...)

Hi All,

this project could be a bit out of scope here but this is also a recycling project. I used an old Ardupilot board and 3 old servos to construct this robot... And there is also a nice story behind this project:

Some weeks ago, my daughter (4 years old) said me:…

I’ve made a small program that can be used to upload your own c code to arduino boards using the bootloader. That means you don’t need a flash programmer. I

made it for my own use and found it pretty useful. So now I’ve

made a more user friendly version..

To use it simply start XLoader.exe, pick a hex file and press upload. That’s it.…

I have finished my Arduino based pulse width modulated (PWM) hot wire cutter controller. It allows precise USB or analog temperature control of a hot wire of length from 10cm to 2m for use with manual cutters or CNC based cutter. The PSU is extermal…
