About

About Me:

I'm a 16 year old teen with an interest in RC and of course drones :). I have a basic knowledge of programming and some limited python skills.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I have a fully functioning tricopter and a half built waterproof H quadcopter taking heavy influence from the wave copter.

Checkers commented on Hugues's blog post Build your own Antenna Tracking pan tilt system
"Like it! Though why did you choose to make it so wide when it looks like it could have been much thinner? Also have you modified the servo to spin 360° to give full tracking or are you flipping the antenna over to achieve 360°?"

Checkers replied to Nelson Hom's discussion I want to send fpv live feed video to phones.
"Perhaps take a look at Wifi Broadcast. It uses raspberry pi's and wifi dongles to stream HD video that can be viewed live by a laptop at fairly low latency (130 ms)  The laptop could then repeat the stream over a local network/ wifi hotspot etc. :) "

Checkers replied to leonardthall's discussion Calling all Tri-Copter pilots
"Sorry I wasn't very clear, I meant direction control as in choosing where you land/the direction the copter moves in not the actual direction it is facing :), and thanks for the tip with loiter in simple mode - I now have that setup just in case!"

Checkers replied to leonardthall's discussion Calling all Tri-Copter pilots
"Not so much an issue and I am probably asking the impossible but is there any way at all to attempt to regain some direction control in the event of servo failure? I was thinking that the FC has a compass and so knows which direction its facing and…"

"Telling someone to 'grow up' because they think something is a challenge in an area you seem to know next to nothing about and haven't even taken the time to try and learn about is in itself very juvenile.

"Great news that it works and even better that the dongles are cheap. He links the dongles in the Amazon links :)"

Checkers replied to befinitiv's discussion 3+km HD FPV system using commodity hardware
"I also think that so far to use diversity the dongles have to be the same. I'm not sure if you could use different antennas or the effect this would have but would assume you could use a patch / omni combination or similar."
