Tutorial

Dear Paparazzians,

I made a new video describing the details of the G0 Paparazzi UAV GPS receiver module. In the video I go through and describe the several design decisions we made to ensure high Signal to Noise Ratio, good multi path GPS signal rejection and overall reliability of the GPS for use in airborne robotics applications.

I hope this video is helpful. If you think so too please let me know in the YouTube comments. If you enjoyed the video make sure to like it on YouTube and subscribe to the channel.

Dear Paparazzians,

I made a new video describing the details of the Elle0 Paparazzi UAV autopilot. Elle0 is now available for purchase in the 1BitSquared store together with the G0 companion GPS receiver. In the video I go through and describe every IO pin as well as some of the design differences to the Lisa/MX Autopilot. Additionally, I describe how you can add a battery voltage monitor to your Elle0 using a voltage divider circuit.

The awesome guys from the TU-Delft MavLab have created another of their great tutorials. This time they explain how to get started with a Lisa/S based Nano Quadcopter.

The TU Delft MAVlab team has created an engaging tutorial showing the step by step assembly of the new Lisa/S Nano Quadcopter. With these instructions you will be flying in no time! :)

The TU Delft MAVlab team have made a series of tutorials for the Parrot ARDrone. Showing off the ease of use of the Paparazzi UAV system on the platform.

Getting started

Autonomous Flight

Piotr Esden-Tempski of 1Bit Squared is working together with Darren Kitchen of HAK5 on a series about Open Source Drones, explaining what Drones/UAV/UAS are, how to build, operate, program, and calibrate them. This series highlights Paparazzi’s hardware and software systems and their strengths.

Here is the first episode in the series titled, Drones 101- Hak5 episode 1611. In this episode Piotr and Darren build an Open-Source autonomous aerial system.

Drones 101- Hak5 episode 1612. In episode 2, Piotr and Darren discuss drone basics. How they are put together, what are their components, how they operate and what makes them special.

A lot of cool stuff is done with paparazzi driven UAV`s. To share what the paparazzi community is doing a youtube video playlist has been created. If you want your video to be listed in there please send a YouTube link to the mailing list.
