sergei lupashin commented on Stefan Gofferje's blog post As-small-as-possible "follow-me"-box, "ArduBeacon""Why not connect the GPS serial port directly to a Laird bridge and do the parsing onboard? No MCU on beacon, just battery + laird (or similar) + gps. The onboard MCU is just as capable of parsing GPS messages as it is MAVlink."
sergei lupashin commented on John Hestness's blog post Lifehacker interview of Chris Anderson"I'm surprised there's no laser cutter in that setup! I've found it indispensable for prototypes/adapters etc (I'd say much more than a current 3d printer would be). They're still a bit pricey but once you have one…"
sergei lupashin commented on ctech4285's blog post Electro Permanent Magnet for reliable cargo lifting on a quad (kickstarter)"Worst-case, one should be able to cancel out any magnetic side-effects by using two magnetometers at two different known distances to the EP magnet.

sergei lupashin commented on vis.asta's blog post quadrocopter ultra-long flight (141min)"@Jani: we should probably be specifying watts, vs amps.

Happy Holidays from the Flying Machine Arena!

Another Christmas/New Year's video. Enjoy!
This one was made using something like puppetry: an "actor" would hold a quadrocopter (props off) and move it. The motion would be reflected by another (flying) quadrocopter -- so you can do fun things like try to express emotions, walk around with some sort of a gait, look at things,…
Continue Interacting with a Quadrotor using the Kinect
Posted on July 2, 2011 at 4:17am 12 Comments 10 Likes
We played around with a Kinect as a way to more naturally interact with the quadrotors in the Flying Machine Arena and made a short video of the result. Since there is a bit of saturation of Kinect-ish videos out there, we tried to include a short explanation of how this demo works. You can find more info about the Flying Machine Arena here.

Hi all. Several of us working on the ETH Flying Machine Arena have been watching DIY Drones for a while but we've never really participated in any way. Since our work is somewhat related and might be of interest, we thought we'd post something:
So, it's been a busy year. Many new little quads as well as people joining our team. Many projects, many crashes, many improvements, probably as…
