This is a site for all things about amateur Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs): How-to's, videos, discussion and more (you can read more about us here ). Please use the tabs above to navigate the site. These are our Arduino -based open source autopilot projects: * ArduPilot , a very low-cost (the basic board is just $24.95!) autopilot * BlimpDuino , an autonomous blimp with both infrared and ultrasonic guidance Other UAV/autopilot projects and code , by processor and OS type, are here . Earlier DIY Drones projects , including Lego and cellphone autopilots, are here FAQs: * I'm new to all this--where do I start? * Are amateur UAVs legal? * Can you explain how IMUs using gyros and accelerometers work? Do I need both? * I'm confused by all these terms! Is there a glossary? (yes!) You can find a list of external UAV resources, including commercial UAVs and other open source UAV projects and code here .
