Flight Test @ Marulan Nov. 16
The big November Marulan trip. Five days of non stop flying action… (with the occasional thunderstorm break)
PX4 Research Log [10] – Adding a new flight mode (Preparation)
If you have programmed Ardupilot and now you switch to PX4, you would really appreciate how easy it is to implement a new flight mode in Ardupilot... PX4 is really good if you just want to write an App to do something, but implementing a new flight mode actually requires a lot of digging around
Flight test @ HMAS 20/10/16
Another flight test day at HMAS.
Small AirCrane
A smaller hex-rotor with about 2kg lifting capability. Built to gain experience with a smaller vehicle before working on the big crane, which is just too scary if you don't know what you're doing... Details: Motors: NTM 28-26s (1000KV) ESC: Multistar 18Amp with BLheli Props: 9x5 or 10x4.5 (careful with those, as they overload the

PX4 Research Log [9] – Analyzing flight on Ubuntu
There are two ways to analyze your PX4 flight as I know, the ".px4log" file generated by PX4, and the ".mavlink" file generated by QGroundControl. 1. ".px4log" with FlightPlot The ".px4log" format is the log file format stored onto the SD card by PX4. The application that performs this logging is "sdlog2". The log files
PX4 Research Log [8] – Hardware In the Loop (HITL) Simulation using jMAVsim on Ubuntu 14.04
In most cases, Software In the Loop (SITL) is sufficient for testing your flight controller code. But in other cases, you may want to use Hardware In the Loop (HITL) simulation to validate that your code can actually run on a controller board. The HITL differs from SITL in a few ways: All sensor raw
