Modify Air Swimmer Using APM.

Posted by Jnixetra on September 27, 2011 at 8:24pm

Hi everyone :)

 

Recently i just found out this air swimmers which used infrared to control it. For my current project,i am thinking is it possible to use some programme so that we can control the fish by using RC control and ArduPilot Mega board? 

 

Here is the instruction video of the air swimmer, you will understand how it works after watching this.

Hope someone can help me or give me some idea about this.

Thank you!

    I got one as a gift as well, and definitely had similar ideas.

     

    It seems that a blimpduino setup would be a good place to start.  Sonars being the key part.

     

    Then you just need to figure out what commands make the tail move back and forth, and which ones move the CoG trolley.

     

    Definitely potential, and I think the thing could carry a little more weight.
