Mechanical Engineer Love building things into remote control airplanes
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
My goal is to build a self sustaining UAV (Solar), that can fly for up to an hour, while taking video and have GPS tracking built into it, with only human supervision while flight.

"Do you think this would apply to all arduino boards with the same number of pins?
I'm waiting for my Uno to arrive to do what you're doing."

"I've had a thought for awhile now, and it would definitely have its own challenges. But I'm curious to see what it would take to drive one of these rovers (autonomously) across Canada. Coast to Coast. I have some ideas to make this happen, but I…"
"@Chris,
Thats great! I would definitely think that driving brings on less challenges than flying, especially when linking a network of these bad boys together.
I always wondered what practical applications swarming devices can actually be applied…"

"@Thomas,
I can definitely see myself building a Rover specifically for this purpose in a year from now.
Seems like a good enough challenge to keep me in the game if you know what I mean. :)

Hi All,I've been reading, and waiting for parts to be delivered and dreaming up strange ideas to use my Rover, for fun, for pranks, for competition, for utility, for anything really, and I thought, what is everyone doing with their platforms?So if…
"Oh I totally will! :) I hope ;)
I'm also trying to figure out exactly what everyone's prerogative is here. I know this started as a hobbiest thing. But I'm sure everyone has figured out a way how to utilize this technology to do something…"

"Hi Mike, I think you may be misunderstanding. I'm not planning on recreating the wheel here. Just want to get my toes wet before I jump in ;)
The arduino is on order, as you mentioned."

"Honestly. That's what I thought would eventually happen, using the code as is. But I do want to understand the code more so to ensure I know how it handles inputs/outputs. As well as using whatever sensor I choose to use as well.
Now I'm even more…"

"Hi Tom,
I apologize for the typo, I was writing the message in haste on my tablet...
it was supposed to read Arduino Board.

"Hi Antonie,
I'll get cracking on that for sure. I have lots of questions after reading the code, so I'm positive the document will answer a lot of them.
as for the arduino board, I figured for $10, its a good start for hardware. when the time…"

"Sweet!
Now I have some reading to do this week ;) Thanks Chris!"

"Thanks Chrisa!
sounds like I hit the mark on this one.
I've set up all the software necessary at this point. I'm just waiting for delivery of the hardware."

Hi guys!I've been following this diy site a couple years now and I've seen it mature. Kind of impressive. I recently decides to pull the trigger and get the ball rolling on my projects. Wanted to get my hands dirty again after building a family.I…
"That does look great! What's the intent,of making this bad boy?"
"Has this been answered yet? I'm looking into it too."
