"Next, think about the weight of 100' of cable (which can transmit at least 60-120A @ 12-24VDC), and the amount of voltage drop due to the internal resistance of the cable itself...  Then perhaps think about using a different idea."

"I agree Fab, muscle noise, especially from the eye muscles can be easily used as a control signal, however from my work and the work of many other researchers in the neuro field have found that the computer system which interprets the eye muscle…"

"@ Fab, it sure as heck does work without an invasive ECoG array, try telling that to the neuroscience department at pretty much any hospital around the world! It's the muscle noise and electrode connectivity/impedance non-stationarity which is…"

"Hi Matthew, put a neutral density filter on your GoPro HD Hero2 camera, it will get rid of the annoying rolling shutter artefacts you can see from the spinning prop in the video :). Great work otherwise! "

Luke Nyhof replied to Jerry Normandin's discussion I've got some stable parameters for a hobbying sk-450 frame ntm 26-28a motors and blueseries 30amp esc to share!
"Hi Terry, Any chance you could post your PID settings for the 650 Hexa? I'm having a couple of little issues with my PIDs and it would be great to compare them to somebody else's settings."

"@Chris, Yes, I did solder it myself, in the electronics lab. I have measured the outputs and channels 5 & 6 are outputting a solid PWM output of 1500, the other channels all register from 990 to 2000 depending on the throttle input, all inputs…"
