If you are curious about robotics please stop by. Bring your current project, in any state of completion, for show and tell or to ask for help. Our members come from a wide range of professions and are more than willing to lend a hand.
Using the Ardupilot
May meeting leader: WinfieldMike
Topic: using the Ardupilot to control an autonomous electric airplane
Summary: The Ardupilot is an inexpensive microcontroller based circuit board that interfaces with a GPS unit to control a model airplane. All aspects of using the Ardupilot will be covered including assembly, interfacing with the GPS and R/C equipment, programming, and extraction of GPS data. A demonstration flight is planned for the Sunday following the meeting weather permitting. Here is a link to the Ardupilot web page.
