Need help to configure Arduino Uno

Post by beretta »

Hi
I am a total noob with multiwii and arduino so and would like some help.
What I want to do is use Arduino Uno to control a drone boat. I want to use Gps and a magnetometer to steer in a straight course.
I to set course bearing with the magnetometer and the Gps to set a waypoint 3 or 4 kms away and steer to that heading .
When the board is armed it will take a bearing and plot a waypoint then I will start the motor and let it go. It wont be travelling 3 kilometers but I figure a waypoint 3 or 4 kms will give it reasonable accuracy to steer to.

I have looked at config.h but really don't know where to start.
#define AIRPLANE seems the most logical to me being the simplest controls and only rudder will be used.
For board setting which would be the best
I have a HMC5883L Magnetometer and Ublox Neo-6m Gps.

Any help would be really appreciated.

If you use the Search function on this site as well as RC Groups with Arduino Uno as FC you will see many posts on how to connect & configure. I personally think buying a dedicated FC with onboard sensors is a better way to go. With the cheap Crius SE v2.5 Atmel328P selling for less than a Uno why not? $50 will get you a Crius AIOP V2 with Atmega2560 as well as latest sensors. This board has multiple serial & IO ports & can fully utilise latest GPS navigation running MW2.3 NaviB7 from Eos Bandi & soon to be released official MWV2.4.

Thanks for the reply. I am wanting to use an Arduino Uno for a few reasons.
I want to add a timer to it and I want to remove the micro controller and direct mount to a circuit board.
Ill keep looking and trying.

Use cheap FTDI (or similar)serial to USB adapter and reconfigure GPS in UCentre
