Ardupilot First Experience - Beginning my journey into autonomous flight

Ardupilot is an amazing project, an open source autonomous autopilot software that works not only for UAV's but also for surface oriented vehicles, this is my experience working with it.

I'm still learning about Arduplane, I hope you liked the video... ♥️

[AndrewTridgellHome]

Welcome to the world of ArduPilot! It is great to see introductions like these for simple aircraft.

[sebasharris]

Thank you. You made me realize how much I love these things and inspired me to try to make the Joy trainer Mini all the stuff I ordered are coming soon and can’t wait to see it running

[MilesDeep]

Wow, amazing video! I can't wait to try some ardupilot builds myself now!

[jaspreet_dhanjal]

Beautiful content.. really appreciate your hardwork..in creating this

[davehayes]

Thanks!
It is nice to see a video that gives me the big picture of the ardupilot journey.
There are so many videos about the details. Not so many that give the view from above :)

One major tip I learned while building autonomous quads was to always BALANCE the props, especially after crashes. It can literally make night and day difference in stability.

Joop Brokking made some great tutorials in the past (in his YMFC series).

Is there a (fixed wing and drone) parts list that is known to work out of the box with open-source software? Preferably, a ready-to-fly solution, just program either Ardupilot/PX4 or Beta/EmuFlight/iNav and fly? Something like the Sturdy Birdy 2 or Duraplane?

For example, the electronics always seem to be either the larger Pixhawk boxes, or the small-square-stacks (STM32F/H7 - Speedybee F7V3, Mateksys H743, Kakute H7 V2).. but not sure if any is capable of running any firmware. BTW, I don't see a OmniBus F4Pro on the ardupilot stable releases?


I'm interested in:
1) Autonomous Flying (Waypoint, Lua scripting, Return-To-Home)
2) Sport-Tracking/Obstacle Avoidance (like the Skydio2+)
3) FPV and free-style / flippy-flops


I understand Beta/Emuflight is popular among FPV racing, and ArduPilot for autonomous/waypoints.. however is there another that can do autonomous and free-flight? iNav, FalcoX?

And how does a custom DIY build compare with the features/performance of commercial product.. Eachine E520S, Mavic Air 2S ?

Well brother you stuck the landing after kicking our plane in the face! It could have been worse, you could have face planted and taken a body full of gimbal sticks at the same time breaking your radio... haha good video

[jewelanevegarepulle]

what camera did you used in the drone? the quality is good

[hbhal]

Fantastic Video!
I'm flying Adruplanes for a long time and never lost one... 😎😍😍

In the video it looks like you may have done your magnetometer calibration indoors. It’s recommended to do the compass calibration outside and away from any buildings to get a cleaner calibration.

thank you and please more educational tutorials

[josealfredojuliobautista]

Hola amigo tienenes algún video de tutorial de la conexión para fabricar un avion que tenga elevación como dron y sea impulsado como avion, gracias

[Gerald-izmv]

hi nice video! can you use Ardupilot with dji mini 3 pro? are you selling any of those quadcopters / planes?

[Indonesiaian]

Hi I really want to build my simple Autonomous RC. Did you include this project in your course?

[Chris-vcdh]

have you got a video how to setup arduplane from 0 to fly please, as I would like to try it as I have been INAV flier for years.

[WARING]

Hi, have you done simulations of these in digital environment? Can you share the forum link of the problem you are facing? Thank you

[عبوديالخالن]

What is the solution to the problem that propulsion is too high

[ovmov]

What the vehicle configuration it is in ardupilot?
