ArduPilot is a full-featured autopilot based on the Arduino open-source hardware platform. It uses infraredย� sensors for stabilization and GPS for navigation.With a handful of servos, battery pack, GPS unit, and the Arduino programmer you can build your own unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) drone. Itโs an absolutely outstanding project complete with a detailed.[more]
This project uses an Atmel at90s2313 AVR processor to measure resistance values and generate R/C style pulses suitable for driving servos or testing R/C controlled robots without the transmitter. It measures four channels and provides four R/C style pulses. It uses an LCD display to indicate the current pulse width and to indicate when the board is in CALIBRATE mode. Analog joysticks, by their nature, are highly variable so the tether unit needs to be calibrated for the particular joystick. Once calibrated it appears to be quite stable: pulse width values stay within a few microseconds over several days of operation at room temperatures.[more]
RC-Climb will help you in the difficult task of RC soaring.It is a small autopilot that flies the RC glider automatically to find and use thermals.An on-board variometer measures the climb / sink rate to find the thermal up-winds.[more]
The board uses a PIC16F690, with the code written in C. The timing loop is a crude one relying on a simple tight loop, so the pulses are not massively accurate.The board has four modes of operation, selected using TACT switches with the status indicated on LEDS built into the switches .[more]
SIMPLE-VOLT ย�is a tiny, light-weight R/C Battery Voltage Monitor using a PIC microcontroller.The Simple-Volt automatically detects the number of LiPo cells connected (assume charged pack) and continually monitors the battery voltage and compares it to the preset cutoff/warning voltage corresponding to the number of detected LiPo cells.[more]
