"Yeah managed code on a Netduino wont handle that at the moment but the boffins are looking at implementing some native fluff in the near future so all is not lost....
Thanks for the positive feedback - will hopefully have way points done in the near…"

Justin Wilson commented on Justin Wilson's blog post Netduino - It actually worked...."It has a fair overhead running the .net framework and is not real time. For instance reading more than 1 or 2 rc channels is a bit flakey especially when the garbage collector kicks in. But in saying that reading an ArduImu thru serial and driving 4…"

Justin Wilson commented on Justin Wilson's blog post Netduino - It actually worked...."Technically it should go from nose down to nose up or left roll to right roll. In practice good question. I will try it out and see if the SkyWalker uses the force or comes tumbling down.
Cheers

So what happens if desiredAngle=+45 and currentAngle=-45 ?"
Justin Wilson posted a blog postNetduino - It actually worked....
Surprising but true - no blue screen of death and it didn't do a spiral of death into the rolling hills of Hertfordshire. Hardware:Netduin Mini - Code in C#DiyDrones MuxArduImu v2 No fancy pid loops just some ugly code and lots of hot glue.Since it worked well enough at bringing it all back to level flight i will try some way point…See More

Justin Wilson replied to Justin Wilson's discussion Home brewed Autopilot"All the code is custom written in C# and held together with sticky tape. On the hardware side its the Atom as the main processor with an Arduimu talking to some Netduino Minis and lots of wires....."

Justin Wilson replied to Saurabh Ladha's discussion NLOS Navigation Probes"you could have a look at http://cricket.csail.mit.edu/ it uses radio/ultrasound and has cm accuracy but i think you would need more than 2 nodes (could be wrong). All the hardware and source code is available for download."
Justin Wilson commented on Paul Mather's blog post Closed-source developer forced open-source"I dont have a problem with people (i do it myself) using other peoples source, its how we learn.

Justin Wilson commented on Paul Mather's blog post Closed-source developer forced open-source"Alot of commercial apps are now being written in .Net you just need to Obfusciate...Run your code thru the likes of .Net Reactor and .Net Reflector wont even open your dll's..
Happy dont give in to knob ends like Entens and keep your project…"
Justin Wilson commented on Paul Mather's blog post Closed-source developer forced open-source"Hey Happy,
Saw your post ON RGC and the idiots post about your code which rather anoyed me in all.
They only real way you can stop (really only slow them down) people from reverse engineering your code in .Net is to obfusciate it etc.
Visual Studio…"
Troy commented on Justin Wilson's blog post GPS Boundary detection"Thanks Justin.
I am working on an drone sail boat that will find different routs to a way point depending on wind direction. The boat needs to know if it is still in the lake (if not go a different way). I had bookmarked the Ray casting algorithm as…"

One part of the Aussie Outback challenge rules dictate that the aircraft/GCS must have GPS boundary detection and if the aircraft wanders outside of this boundary then it must go into the spiral of death.… Continue In progress APM/UDB Mission Planner

Yet another mission planner in the works, i dont personally use either AP as i am creating my own.
As part of my dabblings i am creating an offline mapping tool etc for my GCS which i though might be useful to others. It's written in C# and leverages a fair few different map sources and caches the images to disk for offline use.
Needs .net 3.5 framework to run.
Right click to drag the map.
Grab it…
