altitude

I’m more curious about the altitude sensor.

altitude

it holds its altitude by using a gps…


Well I think you can try fly it, with a couple of xbee modules and a little  programming you can control it through

ustream’s irc chat room and simultaneously control a pan-tilt mechanism with the camera on it but I think would be difficult to type so  fast to keep with the pace the uav flies.

To avoid a colision ,a function can be added  to handle such situations something like auto pilot. 

Ground Station

Hey, I was just curious on your ground station. Do you have an override of the flight control system just in case of any problems that may occur? If so, what sort of jostick/throttle and stick would you use? What do you think about using something like http://www.obutto.com/ for the ground station? You can just do all the connections and simply integrate everything into this. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Patch antenna!

It is really cool project! I liked the way you have extented the ATV receiver’s range by using a patch antenna installing on a tripod camera legs.
