"cool.. i used to do sculpting too... but i haven't done it for almost 8 years...

"i checked out the site... kinda expensive though per cm cube... great way to make miniature sculptures though..."

AludrA_55 replied to Javier Díez de la Cuesta's discussion Wind Speed measurement for auto-landing
"i don't know what you have already set up in your plane...
but I think (newbie) that if you could get the speed of your aircraft with respect to the wind
and also get the speed of your aircraft using GPS, then (aircraft_speed - gps_speed) should
be…"

AludrA_55 replied to Tom in NOVA's discussion Thrust sensor for ducted fan or rudimentary speed sensor?
"It appears that this device must vibrate to produce a signal...

I would recommend probably a flex force device attached perpendicular to the thrust of air
inside the EDF housing. When the device is not flexed (perfectly perpendicular), then the…"

AludrA_55 replied to hoopty's discussion Arduino ADC supplement
"I don't have a lot of embedded or electronics background but I did some research on op-amps and I don't think that this will work. I don't think that increasing the resolution of the ADC could increase the accuracy and sensitivity of the IMU (or…"

AludrA_55 commented on AludrA_55's blog post AludrACopter!!! or something like that...
"Jordi!!!... Wazzup?!!!... I've been searching the Internet and found an ArduCopter... aren't you the creator of that one?!!!... that would be great!!!...

the 5-DOF IMU from Sparkfun spits out analog voltage in each axis... so I think that it's…"

AludrACopter Project:I started my analog 5-DOF modular IMU research and testing in January of 2009. I don't know much about electronics. I researched on op-amps and how to use it to create an analog computing device to do calculus integration of…

AludrA_55 commented on Randy's blog post My UAV helicopter (which can't fly)
"hi... i'm a newbie... but i got some ideas... =)

first, I think that you should at least make sure that your platform is flyable...
you could turn that into a full blown rc helicopter with receiver, transmitter, heading hold
gyro, and a LiPo…"

"Chris: I double checked and I figured out what's wrong. It wasn't fried... the header that I soldered didn't make complete contact with the metal in the hole... i resoldered carefully (considering i've resoldered it so many times before it was a big…"

"i think i just fried my 5 DOF IMU from Sparkfun... no fun at all... i'm getting voltage signals of zeros on all axis analog output... =( such an expensive device to fry..."

"(newbie)... is the CTRL pin connected to Atmega368 at all or only to the MUX?

"hi... i'm a newbie in embedded electronics and am very happy to join... =)

thanks for tweaking the board to enable hardware pwm...

i have a crazy idea of using an ArduPilot...

in the setup it shows two servos in the output pin...

i would presume…"
