"The scaneagle started out as a model aircraft."
Chivar Maximillan Pilones replied to seedorfj's discussion Arial Field Viewing For Farm/Rancher"how would you power those in flight? lets just wait for the raspberry pi to get hacked for this thing :) since it will be just powered thru usb which is 5v i guess"
"I think we can build commercial grade things. Aren't we doing this to improve constantly? I think necessity is the mother or all invention. You can buy anything, but what is the pride in that? They have the same computers…"
Seth replied to seedorfj's discussion Arial Field Viewing For Farm/Rancher"Try a ScanEagle or an Arcturus T-16. Your system requirements are commercial grade, you will need a commercial solution."
"definately! You should see the one that will be flying my planes! Full server rack dedicated to them! I am looking to hardmount that into a shed with a 50 ft radio antenna and control them from laptops on the network. Computer…"
seedorfj replied to seedorfj's discussion Arial Field Viewing For Farm/Rancher"Yea, I love getting a chance to build a computer, I have done two already."
"mini itx from newegg or pico itx"
seedorfj replied to seedorfj's discussion Arial Field Viewing For Farm/Rancher"I am trying to find either an HD USB 3.0 webcam, or a firewire one, but I can't find a lightweight high-speed laptop that weighs so little. I may have to build my own computer from scratch or something."
"Yeah, webcams are a bit low-grade in my opinion. I have some interest in the FCO III http://flycamone.com/
but am looking for a way to extend the range between the camera transmitter and receiver. I have seen better than its 28 fps…"
seedorfj replied to seedorfj's discussion Arial Field Viewing For Farm/Rancher"Yea, the most that the servos will pull during usual flight is at max probably 5 amps. So if you look up on board RC generator just about any of those options will work, you probably don't want less than 30watts, but…"
"electromagnetic drop tanks on each wing. LOL. Just getting into the generator stuff. Great advice though. Any more insight on the generator? Can I repower all of the electronics off of it?

"Well put the camera on the end of a set of cheap binoculars and then use servos to move it about, easy!
I think before you go too far, you need to buy a Blixer with no autopilot and teach yourself to fly it first.

seedorfj replied to seedorfj's discussion Arial Field Viewing For Farm/Rancher"Would an HD webcam work, or would I need to look a little better than webcams"
Chivar Maximillan Pilones replied to seedorfj's discussion Arial Field Viewing For Farm/Rancher"or just get a gopro hd camera then hook it up with a wireless transmitter then you get viewing this is better move compared to an ip cam since this is low latency no data packet to convert to wifi

seedorfj replied to seedorfj's discussion Arial Field Viewing For Farm/Rancher"We are talking 30 miles, not 20km, so I will have to use a little more powerful system (I will be getting a license), but that is probably what I will do, but how do I communicate a live HD video feed back through the wifi
