u-Blox 6

I have palyed with one of these in the lab - the performance is almost identical to the ones we use now as far as channels, tracking, speed of acquisition, etc. - but the power consumption is somewha…

Ardustation case

A bit of a sneak peek at the work going on over in the ArduStation Mega Workspace. This is our current full scale mockup of the case and some of the components...while a long way from finished, I thi…

How many push buttons for the Ardustation

I'm pretty sure there are indeed supposed to be 6. The Shack should have equivalent parts.

GPS with high accelerations

If you do not need SiRF binary there are a couple of 10Hz options out there, and the 4g limitation is pretty much exactly as Mr. Bosak describes it. SO to be clear, it is not that they cannot "handle…

Hi Doc, This could work out well because I was looking at buying a new plane for the outback challenge and if I can get it custom made, even better!

Thats a great Idea Scott, I am definitely interested to join the team, I have only been involved with my own UAV project for about 4months now since my graduation (still long way to go) mainly focusing on auto-land right now. But I have lots of time…

I'd be interested... This would be a great way for me to start getting more involved in the airborne aspect of the site. I'm currently working on integrating the ArduIMU+ into a navigation and mapping solution, I do own a spare ardupilot (v2 I think…

Hi Scott, I am planning on entering the 2010 outback challenge with Ardupilot. Have been working away slowly for a little while now. I am planning on using a gas engine and two arduopilots. I have been testing on the plane pictured in my profile. I…

I think we're going to have a AUVSI colligiate entry. That, along with the Sparkfun contest, FIRST robotics (blimps) and our own T3 contests, will probably be all that I can handle this year.

Welcome aboard - we all acknowledge the realities of of life and the time allowance we would have to make; so we'd have to come up with some milestones, and sub-project managers to actually make a go at this. Undoubtedly, not EVERYONE who works on t…

I'm interested. Whether or not the realities of life allow me time to participate are another story.

So some time has passed, and I have a nagging in the back of my mind - why couldn't we field an Outback Challenge Team? We are already working on several projects, and combined we have a PILE of UAS time in the air. We could even purpose-design the…

WooHoo - Thanks for the 2 channel optocoupler Jordi! I'll be buying one for my Tracking Antenna Build to work with the new ArduStation Mega. What is the actual Optocoupler part? I'm going to be building a custom board to fit in a tight case with a 6…

Outback Challenge - Who's up for a run??

So some time has passed, and I have a nagging in the back of my mind - why couldn't we field an Outback Challenge Team? We are already working on several projects, and combined we have a PILE of UAS time in the air. We could even purpose-design the entire system; airframe, autopilot, all of it from ongoing projects or designs here on DIYDRONES. I have no doubt we could raise a little money and could field a competitive team. I know we are spread all over the world, and that this is all OpenSourc… Continue

Interesting new use of Arduino

Check out this use of the Arduino...I'm not a huge fan of football (Soccer as we Americans call it) - but this is just cool! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmjijvX50FQ

Huddle Issues Anyone?

I have been trying for a while now to get into / see the Turn Rate Limiter Workspace in the Workspaces section...but it doesn't come up...I am on two teams, and can only see the Workspace for the New Ground Station Design team. Anyone else having similar issues - or did I get kicked off the team...lol ;)

I have the uBlox GPS Module library part I need to upload.

Someone has GOT to remember seeing this!

SOme time back (within the last two or three months) I recall seeing a ground station setup where a guy was using a graphical LCD module similar to the one proposed for the NEW ArduStation Mega, and he had a very cool interface, even had an artificial horizon on the screen - DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER SEEING THIS?? Wa it here or on some other forum??
