"This is a wild looking wing. Any inspiration from the Horten H.IV? It's one of my favorite designs.
I see you've moved the Props closer to center-line of the vehicle from some ealier concept images. What inspire this…"

Do I have everything?

I just realized I needed the uBlox adapter board for my GPS so I had to pay S&H twice in one day. Not mad at anyone but myself on this one but I want to make sure I have everything I need now: I…Continue

Bo Firetag replied to Gerry Lichter's discussion Air Hogs Switchblade Innovative?"Here are some samples of aircraft with similar formats."
Bo Firetag replied to Gerry Lichter's discussion Air Hogs Switchblade Innovative?"I have completed the airframe design and tools. The tools are fiberglass and bondo, but they did the trick for the carbon layup. I used a male mold and vacuumed the carbon on. The surface needed some finishing but came out pretty well. This is…"

Gerry Lichter commented on PX4's blog post PX4FLOW Release"Just picked mine up today! Looks great.
No GPS underwater, so position and velocity are a lot harder to determine. Camera needs a pressure housing(dive light), and the ultrasonic range finder speed of sound is going to be off. But air attenuates…"
Gerry Lichter commented on CrashingDutchman's blog post Project 'Volare' on Kickstarter"200 miles + 5lbs + autonomous? Any single one of those is hard enough on a $600 budget. The kickstarter should be updated with a proposed bill of materials so viewers can lend constructive criticism and the proposal can be modified to be more…"
Bo Firetag replied to Gerry Lichter's discussion Air Hogs Switchblade Innovative?"I like this concept as well. The aircraft mode could be greatly improved upon. There are many well developed flying wing designs that would be suitable. The major challenge is with the control of the helicopter mode.
The lack of control in…"
Gerry Lichter commented on Chris Anderson's blog post New UAV game for Google Earth"What I think is novel about this is using the Google Earth API to create a game engine. That's the value I see provided and worth emphasis. The distinction between manned and unmanned vehicles being sort of artificial in a virtual…"
Gerry Lichter replied to Frank Zhao's discussion ArduIMU V3, source code for DMP?"Open source purity aside, most of my resentment has been based on the fact it has taken over a year for a detailed explanation of these details to become public knowledge. It was pulling teeth to get the information at all and has trickled out only…"
Gerry Lichter replied to Frank Zhao's discussion ArduIMU V3, source code for DMP?"Have you taken a look at the "I2Cdev" code? He has an arduino sketch made up with no real processing at the atmel side. It uploads the binary linked to above, configures the mpu registers and gets back 6dof fused data. Invensense have been…"
Gerry Lichter replied to Frank Zhao's discussion ArduIMU V3, source code for DMP?"I'm not so sure. The DMP doesn't seem to have non-volatile memory based on the need to upload a blob of binary on startup, however the I2C version of the code gets quarternion data back from the mpu6000 and its not coming out of thin air.…"

Good news, Invensense eventually decided to support their product and live up to their marketing."

Racial slurs have never been a good way to make friends in any of the professional environments I've worked in.

Gerry Lichter replied to George's discussion Crazy uneducated ideas and learning."I can relate with the desire to do things the hard way. Despite the advice to start with an EasyStar, I bought several books on RC Plane design before getting my first Glider airframe. It's still in a box in a storage unit and hasn't seen…"
