new manual? 12 Replies

Hi All- I'm integrating an attopilot into a twinstar II. I'm finding the manual pretty atrocious. Anyone know if there is an updated version? Mine says its the AP1.8 revision 1. Thanks!

ATTOPILOT automatic flight for your RC aircraft.

AttoPilot is a small autopilot system capable of flying any fixed wing aircraft even in high winds. Thanks to the adaptive algorithms, 50Hz attitude control, and automatic gain scheduling based on airspeed, AttoPilot brings features to the sub-$1k autopilot market that were previously reserved for autopilots costing 10x more. AttoPilot includes over 100 user configurable parameters, integrated power sensing, integrated logging of 70 parameters to micro-SD card at up to 5Hz, 3D waypoints with airspeed targets and 6 scripting parameters, and several special features for crystal clear geo-referenced aerial photography.

A Ning is a pretty simple place for adding photos and files so crack on!!!

Possible helicopter autopilot system?

Hi all, was just wondering if the attopilot system has been used in a helicopter before? If not, what might it take to integrate such software in order for a smooth conversion to a rotor wing design?

Thanks for your time,

Kevin

Parachute failsafe


Boomerang flying wing UAV parachute failsafe hatch test. from Gary Mortimer on Vimeo.



Sometimes hitting a big red button and deploying the chute is the only option. This is just one of the things happening in the background that does not receive any air time.

Now if only the airframe was slightly bigger and able to drop a water bottle it would make an off the… Continue
