Torkel Danielsson commented on Torkel Danielsson's blog post Oculus FPV - First Flight
"The digital downlink we are using could of course be used just for the digital video. Since it is WiFi based, a laptop can receive the signal. With directional antennas and/or higher power APs the distance is ok. Flying a laptop is not so convenient…"

Torkel Danielsson commented on Torkel Danielsson's blog post Oculus FPV - First Flight
"A digital FPV system can (when it is more developed) offer:
- HD resolutions
- Stereo imaging / Multi camera support
- Stitch surroundings into "viewing spere", which can then be viewed in e.g. Oculus Rift for super-immersive experiences
- Legal…"

Torkel Danielsson commented on Jack Crossfire's blog post Evolution of a position tracker
"Interesting.
Have you tried PS3-cams? I think they're called eye-cam and are a pretty good bargain if your looking for computer vision on a budget. Since they are designed to catch the "color balls" they should be a good fit for what you're trying…"

"This is a US problem. Sweden, UK, Japan, Australia and Japan allows commercial UAS operation today.
- Just move overseas if you want to develop commercial applications ;)"

"Not world first.
There has been far more interesting developments performed in Sweden at Linköping University for some years in this area, see for example the research of David Lundström:

Torkel Danielsson commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Good Robots Podcast on robot swarming
"I thought he was way off when he was talking about how horrible it would be to have humans emotionally dependent on robots.

Torkel Danielsson commented on Chris Anderson's blog post AttoPilot RTL version available
"Um... what is RTL? Looked at wikipedia and none of the meanings they had for the acronym seemed correct - Attopilot "Ride the lightning"??

The linked pdf doesn't say either."

Torkel Danielsson commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Arduino grows up--multithreading and an OS
"Totally agree about ARM, it is really crazy that Arduino is still using an 8-bit uC. The real power of the Arduino is in its easy programming toolchain and that it's cheap to buy imho. Those two things would not change by jumping to a more powerful…"

Torkel Danielsson commented on Chris Anderson's blog post No DIY Drones chat tonight...
"Brushless motors in models are sort of different from the stepper motors in electronics, aren't they? I mean, there is no precision needed for "us" and the weight/power tradeoff is different. I agree that the battery technology is a big step forward…"

"Hmm, how about that Jack Crossfire? His tri-copter configuration is interesting, as is his "visually stabilized videos from multiple still images"-thing. He is blogging here though so one can take part of that there maybe.

I would love to listen to…"

"How sad :(

Just to give you an impression of how much I mean that, I created a login here just so I could post and say that. The DIY Drones podcast is a true highlight of my week. Hmm. I better stop writing this now or else go post on fmylife.com…"
