Montreal user group?
Hi,
Out of curiosity I did a search for people in Montreal and noticed that there is quiet a few. So I thought, if there isn't already a user group why don't I propose one. The summer is here and the weather ( today ) is ideal.
I am new to Montreal (Quebec) and I am not familiar with the techy groups here. If you guys can suggest some interesting UGs I would be grateful. I have found the www.foulab.org the people there seem cool, but they're not UAV centric, rather general techno.
thanks!

Hi Bob, I'm in Montreal (Mile-End) - I visited foulab last summer, didn't get too much done there. Very smart guys but not very socially oriented ;) We couldn't get my arduino to display on a small LCD (2linex20char).
Anyways, not too many other techy groups. I talked to the Techshop founder about a place here but I don't think things are going very well out in Cali so I doubt he wants to expand to the 514.
Currently building a HK Global Hawk and trying to get some boards made for accel and gyro breakouts.
take care

Us westerners started up a DIYDrones Alberta chapter last year, (user Tenzin's brainchild) but it doesn't seem all that active right now.

Hi
I'm at St-jean-sur-richelieu, Not really a DIY Drone builder, more interested in indoor flying robot. Building mine base on the Aeroquad code.

A user group would be very interesting!

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for responding. I don't think we need anything official to have a geeknic or diydroneic as it would be. but it would be interesting to get together and exchange offline.
Im a noob. I am more on the computer/hardware side so meeting up with experienced pilots (button pushers ;) would be cool for me :)
Regards
bob

Hi,
Not a lot of activity here so I just want to bump this thread for the rss type.
Im new to mtl, how far is St-jean-sur-richelieu, from here? I assume you have a lot of space to fly in ;)
What motors do you have? what is the RPM?

St-Jean is not very far from Montreal. About 30 minutes from downtown assuming no traffic. There is an RC field on the way to St-Jean from Montreal, on the Autoroute 10 about 2-3 kilometers away from autoroute 35.
Lots of farmer fields south of St-Jean and in the surrounding areas (actually, there is a hot air balloon festival there right now, they needs lots of landing areas!!!) but also lots of water (the Richelieu river) so I guess the pros/cons balance out.

Hey Bob,
do you have experience designing your own boards?
-

PC boards yeah, I have made a lot of boards, but I am now looking at the laser printer/iron on. This look cool.
I also know how to interface arduino with LCD ;)

Like Jonathan said, it's around 30min from downtown... with no traffics!
Actually, I have a field of corn in face of my home, not a real good place to fly! I don't really know place to fly it, I do it inside since my goal is to make something flying inside avoiding object!
I use standard motors and esc of the GAUI 330x, I thing they are 1100kv

Hi!
I just wanted to say that I'm from Montreal as well, I'm looking into building an autonomous "n"-copter (still need to define the magnitude of n ;))
If there's a user group in the area I'd be glad to join!

Hi Eric,
No group at the moment but I am trying to keep this thread bumped enough so that it doesn't get buried :)
I have recently become a member of the foulab.org they (we) are still "starting up" but I get the feeling there could be a synergy with the diydrone community.
Jonathan had mentioned that the foulab didn't work out for him, but I am now part of a couple of individuals who are interested so you may find, at least programming help there.
Ultimately, there should be enough diy montreal'ers to do a geeknic.
we'll see
regards
