"Yeah, it only works on GSM on those frequencies tho, not HSPA+.
I'm very much not a fan of Rogers, less so than the other telcos. But I'll admit it's been years since I've used their previously crappy service, IMNSHO. It would…"

Bill Bonney replied to Adam Scriven's discussion Canadian version of DroneCell? in the group Canada"The drone cell is a GSM Quad band radio that works on 850 900 1800 1900 MHz frequencies. It could work with the Telus/Bell network, they chose not to enable it!
I think the recommendation is that you need to get a provider that is Rogers/Fido or a…"

Canadian version of DroneCell?
I'm attempting a few projects, including my rover, that will require cellphone voice access via computer audio. I know the DroneCell exists for everyone who's not on an AT&T/Bell/Telus style network, but for those of us who are stuck on UMTS/HSPA 850/1900, has anyone else come across an easy-to-find replacement?I've discovered a few USB dongles that theoretically work, or are known to work, but they are all so old that they've become quite hard to find. The one with the most information I…See More

Thanks for the info, Bill! Altho I've seen that sparkfun one and it's 52V only. I'll have to use that one for the Raspberry Pi Project (tm)."

Adam Scriven commented on Rich Maynard's blog post Project: Introducing Box-T (ArduRover)"Very cool idea! If the animals get acclimated perhaps adding something like a water gun or decomposable air-soft projectile?
@Brian: I hesitate to say, but are you going to name your FidoRover K-9?"

Seems like a cool project tho!"
Adam Scriven replied to Adam Scriven's discussion gps Waterproofing and impact protection?"The vehicle itself is already functional, I'm eventually just going to add an autopilot/etc. into it. I've got some pictures in a blog post actually.
It looks like the APM itself would fit into the box too, I may need to reconsider…"

It even looks like a cooler, extra scale points and an excuse to get a roof rack! >:)"

Adam Scriven posted a discussionWaterproofing and impact protection?
I was wondering if there were any ideas for waterproofing the gps module w/o interfering with it's operation? I'm also wondering about protecting it from impacts while still having it in a useful position.I'm building a rover, and I'm thinking the best place for the gps would be up on top of the vehicle's roof. It'll get the clearest 'view' of the sky, and won't be inside aluminium body armour. I was thinking about a lexan 'bubble' with the gps inside, but I'm not sure if lexan is transparent…See More

Frankly I find the whole thing fascinating, and can't get it out of my head. Never having played with RC, only toys, the ideas this is sprouting in my brain are overwhelming! An RC "thing" with a brain...
Most interested in starting with a UGV, adding a brain to my crawler. ;) I have the crawler already, and I figure stuff can't fall from the ground.
Also like the idea of spherical robots like Greg Schroll's Gyrosphere [ http://telovation.com/articles/ball-robot.html ]. Would very much like to figure something like that out.
The planes and helis are also very cool, but I have zero experience with them other than some toy indoor helicopters, so there is rather a lot of learning curve there.
Would also very much like to learn general fabrication techniques, like carbon fibre/fibreglass, metal working and other DIY stuff. I have some soldering experience and some woodworking experience and am generally handy, but am looking into more 'professional' upgrading of some of my skills.
Am thinking about setting up an autopilot on my RC Crawler, but seem to have caught myself between versions. Newer APM 2 is better than the first, but also not yet compatible with the ArduRover software developped for the first... Frustrating.

I remember reading someone asking a question about 'follow mode' for rovers, because they wanted their heavy toolbox to follow them around the job site. I'm sorry, I can't find the post or remember the poster right now though. I think it's a brilliant idea.
Last weekend I had a chance to test a proof-of-concept for a harvesting-bucket. I strapped a bucket to the…

This drone 'stuff' seems to have taken over my brain, with FPV thanks to John Arne Birkeland's "Crawler 1" videos. I like how John's thinking process worked, testing the vehicle's drone capabilities via FPV driving made sense to me, and also FPV just looked cool!
So I've…
