Hey everyone, I'm excited to announce a new group on meetup.com:

Minnesota Autonomous Vehicle Club

The focus of the group will be fielding an entry in SparkFun AVC.  We will host build sessions, ground school, and flight testing events in the lead-up to AVC.  The group will also have a focus of promoting and enabling safe and law-abiding personal drone operation in the Twin Cities area.

Our first meetup will be Thursday April 18 at 7:00 pm at the Hack Factory in Minneapolis.  I will be presenting some general information on personal drone operation, details on SparkFun AVC, and an overview of the Fighting Walrus Radio project (shameless product plug!)

Hope you see you there!

Ever had the need, or perhaps uncontrollable urge, to monitor and control your personal aquatic mammal using an iPad or iPhone?
Then the latest fork of ArduPilot is what you need: WalriPilot.

Using WalriPilot, you can* have your personal aquatic mammal:

• Roll Over
• Swim to the Surface
• Regurgitate Fish

These are just some of the base features, so check back for more exciting updates!
