Lets first start off with the things I accomplished and learned today.
- Had the GPS read my location.
- Had all the servos working, when I pitch or rolled the drone, the servos would react to get it back to level
- Saw all the servos communicate with the ardupilot
- Set waypoints on where to go
- Learned more about commands and what to tell the board to do once the software is downloaded to the ardupilot

| This one picture really shows all of the information I learned. As you can see, the left is articifial horizon indicater, that when I tilted the plane, the image would rise or fall accordingly. The top right is the display of sensor read outs, each color corresponds to a certain sensor. Red = roll. Blue = pitch. Green = nav_roll. Orange = nav_pitch. Then the bottom right is the Google Maps image of the plane at my house where I was sitting outside. |
Though I did accomplish a lot today, more questions came up.
- Do I need a R/C kit just to get the plane going and then switch it into auto mode. If I do need one, this may cripple the project, unless I could rig something up that sends an R/C signal the entire time so the plane is always in auto mode
- Will I need telemetry and if I don't need it would it be worth getting anyway?
