DOWNLOAD ARDUPILOT MEGA 2.6

The flexibility allows for support of a wide variety of frame types and sizes, different sensors, camera gimbals and RC transmitters depending on the operator's preferences. There are many different firmware bases to choose from. The sensors are exactly the same as with APM2. Views Read Edit View history. The first ArduPilot version supported only fixed-wing aircraft and was based on a thermopile sensor, which relies on determining the location of the horizon relative to the aircraft by measuring the difference in temperature between the sky and the ground. ArduPilot is sponsored in part by a growing list of corporate partners. These are available as pin numbers 0 to 8 inclusive in PIN variables.

This enables you to fly multi-rotor and traditional helicopter style UAV's.

This revision of the board has no onboard compass, which is designed for vehicles especially multicopters arddupilot rovers where the compass should be placed as far from power and motor sources as possible to avoid magnetic interference.

Sensors may be on the same electronic board, or external. They are configured as digital output pins automatically when you start to use them as digital outputs.

If the Flight controller board is put in an alternate orientation, the Orientation i. Between and ArduPilot evolved to run on a ardjpilot of hardware platforms and operating system beyond the original Arduino Atmel based microcontroller architecture, first with the commercial introduction of the Pixhawk hardware flight controller, a collaborative effort between PX4, 3DRobotics and the ArduPilot development team, and later to the Parrot's Bebop2 and the Linux-based flight controllers like Raspberry Pi based NAVIO2 and BeagleBone based ErleBrain.

Order tracking Shipping notice Site Products Jega. The last firmware build that fits on the APM is Plane 3. Vehicle support was later expanded to other vehicle types which led to the Copter, Plane, Rover, and Submarine subprojects.

A developer subsection for advanced uses is aimed primarily at software and hardware engineers, and a Common section regrouping information common to all vehicle types is shared within the first four sections.

Retrieved from " https: The ArduPilot software suite consists of navigation software typically referred to as firmware when it is compiled to binary form for microcontroller hardware targets running on the vehicle either Copter ardulilot, PlaneRover, AntennaTracker, or Subalong with ground station controlling software including Mission Planner, APM Planner, QGroundControl, MavProxy, Tower and others.

The last firmware builds that can be installed AC v3. The years and witnessed an explosive growth in the autopilot functionality and codebase size, thanks in large part to new participation from Andrew "Tridge" Tridgell and HAL author Pat Hickey. Missions are automatically datalogged and can be exported to KML Built-in hardware failsafe processor, can return-to-launch on radio loss.

Pin 0 qrdupilot 8: The year also saw Randy Mackay taking the role of lead maintainer of Copter, after a request from former maintainer Jason Short, and Tridge taking over the role of lead Plane maintainer, after Doug Weibel who went on to earn a Ph.

ArduPlane is the fixed wing UAV code branch of the project. You need to add 54 to the pin number to convert ardupiot an analog pin number to a digital pin number. ArduCopter is the rotary wing code branch of the project. Depending on what code you load, you can use the APM to control fixed wing aircraft, ardupilkt rotors, helicopters and also ground ardupilpt.

Pin 54 to ArduPilot is an open sourceunmanned vehicle Autopilot Software Suite, [1] capable of controlling autonomous:. Traditional Helicopter — Tuning with Copter 3. ArduPilot is fully documented within its wiki, totaling the equivalent of about printed pages and divided in six top sections: In addition, hundreds of users contribute ideas, code and documentation to the project.

ArduPilot Mega 2.6

HAL Hardware Abstraction Layer greatly simplified and modularized the code base by introducing and confining low-level hardware implementation specifics to a separate hardware library. Sensors usually include, in addition, one or more compassaltimeter barometric and GPSalong with optional additional sensors such as optical flow sensorsairspeed indicatorslaser or sonar altimeters or rangefinders, monocular, stereoscopic or RGB-D cameras. Expert understands the inner workings General knows how to use it Novice still getting used to it.

The sensors are exactly the same as with APM2. Using the APM 2.

The ArduPilot Mega Mission Planner allows you to easily plan mission, or upload new firmware with only a few clicks of the mouse, enabling any user to easily get started. Late saw the formation of DroneCode, [17] formed to bring together the leading open source UAV software projects, and most notably to solidify ardhpilot relationship and collaboration of the ArduPilot and the PX4 projects. ArduPilot code evolution continues with support for integrating and communicating with powerful companion computers for autonomous navigation, plane support for additional VTOL architectures, integration with ROSsupport for glidersand tighter integration for submarines.
