Hey, I have a school project. I need the GPS coordinates of a drone to be sent to my custom Android java app. I need to display its coordinates on a map in my app. Does any drone offer a link to mobile and share its coordinates?
tldr: I need a cheap drone (quadrocopter) or a flight controller, so that I can control a drone with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi to implement a landing and cargo pickup routine. What drone or flight controller do you suggest?
I am currently beginning my final university project for my bachelor...
Hey guys, sort-of-newb here. Do you guys know if there are any good substitutes for the drone kit QAV250? It's one of the drone kits that meet all of the requirements I need for a research I'm doing at my Uni and the complete kit is not available anywhere. With regards to why not just research...
Hi guys,
I need your help to solve a quite strange probelm.
I have a GPS module (https://www.amazon.it/U-BLOX-NEO-6M-Module-Flight-Controller/dp/B00YBBTLYU) for my quad APM 2.8. The quad flys quite well without GPS but in order to enable position hold I've tryied to connect that Ublox 6M...
Dear colleagues,
This is simply to let you know that we are currently running a Kickstarter campaign to produce our Multi-freq multi-constellation GNSS receiver (MEDEA), based on the new Ublox ZED-F9P. You can access the campaign here...
I tried to fly a phantom 4 at local outdoor event and discovered it was blocked due to the location being deemed a red zone due to the local missile defense field.
Months later, when I heard the local kids flying club was going to fly their quads at the same location, I was puzzled, so I...
Hey everybody,
I plan on starting a 450 build. The difference with this build and my previous builds is that I want to add GPS and a gimbal supporting GoPro to the quad, so I am looking for help regarding those two areas. I have already ordered some of the parts regarding the build, so this is...
Hi everyone. A quick question if I may for anyone who flies a Hubsan H501S. Ever since I have had my quad, my TX has never picked up more than 5 GPS satellites, whilst the quad sitting alongside it regularly receives 11 GPS satellites. The directions say you shouldnt fly the drone without a...
Hey guys!
I'd like to know if any of you have any opinions on open source drones on the market. I'd like to write scripts and codes for drones to complete tasks and objectives such as continuously patrolling an area and landing back at "home" without ever touching a controller. The Pix Hawk...
I am a total noob programmer and engineer looking to use drones as a first step in this field of learning while I go to school. I already order a simple JJRC H31 with the 2mp camera as a starter. I will already be making mods(like the FOV & antennas)and working with waterproof resin(at least...
Dear colleagues,
I would simply like to share with the community some results we've got on our RTK processing for our GNSS receiver (Argonaut) maiden flight with a fixed wing drone. Long story short: sub decimetric accuracy in static mode and consistent decimetric accuracy in kinematic mode...
Hi!
My first build attempt. I'm still gathering info and not yet ordered the parts. This drone should be able in future to be able to lift gimbal + sports cam (like GoPro etc'). I'm also planning to add FPV, OSD and GPS. Please note that I'm extremely tight on budget so go easy on me :)

Recently i built a small racing style drone and i have found that where i live is much to windy to actually have fun flying it as i spend most of my time fetching out of trees or fixing props. I have noticed that all of the high end pre-built quads have altitude and more importantly position...
Hi all, I am trying to setup a GPS with my quadcopter. However, the GPS is not being recognised within librepilot (GPS alarm is greyed out/not green or orange). Does anyone have any idea why this may be?
I am using an OP GPS with a CC3D flight controller which according to the manual should...
I have a DIY quad platform, motors, ESC's, props, and an interconnect board. I also have a Spektrum DX7 radio and receivers. What I need now is a flight controller with GPS.
Here is what I want to do and the features I would need:
I want to do general flying. I am not a racer or photographer...
Hi guys
I'm a complete newbie to drones and their making. I'm an archaeologist and we use equipment that detects the earths magnetism and the anomalies in them, so that enables us to find buried sites and features before we dig. I have an idea to mount a smaller version of our equipment...
I recently built an S500 using the DJI NAZA M v2 FC. I'm also using the S-BUS
connection on a X4R receiver with an X9D Taranis radio. I think I have
everything setup correctly and my gimbals and switches set properly. My issue
is with the start up of the quad. I'm using the 935KV Emax motors and...
