Great guide , can you do a FAQ for the ardupilot ?

3D Robotics Comment by Chris Anderson on March 29, 2009 at 7:48am

We have a proper manual coming for ArduPilot.

Thanks chris , it very helpful for people like me who start building an easy-star Uav.

Thermopile-based autopilot, 335 USD + FMA sensors

3D Robotics Comment by Chris Anderson on March 31, 2009 at 12:14pm

Note: the RVOSD (the thermopile-based "autopilot" mentioned above) is just return-to-launch. It's not programmable, and not really in the class of what we consider full autopilots.

What, no Picopilot?

3D Robotics Comment by Chris Anderson on March 31, 2009 at 12:51pm

We don't recommend Picopilot. We've had several and they're poor performers with even worse customer support.

Vova, very impressive OSD, is that 2.4gig?

Comment by vova reznik on March 31, 2009 at 1:29pm

Thanks, its 1.3GHz/300mW and KX191 camera.
To Chris,
It has waypoint navigation, but not automatic flight to waypoints. The waypoint navigation is like the home arrow, just a smaller arrow in the center of screen. The distance to waypoint is also shown.

But we can also add heading hold to this. Then you simply use the waypoint navigation to point the plane in the right direction and there is your full featured autopilot !

3D Robotics Comment by Chris Anderson on March 31, 2009 at 1:39pm

Hi Vova. Is that a single waypoint, or multiple waypoints? We usually define a full-featured autopilot as one that can allow you to program a "mission" of multiple waypoints.
