"Just a quick note the VB app is used for a number of things so only the graph and the bottom numbers are relevant"

We have done a VB app to show the sensor could be used for scannig on a drone.  the range is limited to about 6mtrs according to the docs but we assume that there is heaps of tollerance.Two pic's show the vb app graph (realish time) of our 42"…

some of you may be aware that the Ardueye project has many applications, one of which is optical flow tracking.  We have used this for an experiment to track my eyeball to move a scroll mouse on the pc.  But it can just as easily be adapted instead…

"Hi Chris
Could you please provide a modern link to the bs2 software etc
thanks Clinton"

"To date placed apm1 with rover code as well as mounted a smaller secondary telemetry Xbee. Working on a different frequency than the apm telemetry radio hardware and software appears nearly ready to run, some range checking has been done on both…"

"pictures of boat after first trial in pool.  The transducer is mounted at the back on the left side of transom.
The MTK gps is still reading wrong and was at least 20mtrs out from where the pool was, this gps is not connected to the APM but is the…"

"Yes we will try to use ArduRover or ArduPilot with running the boat as the exercise is to set up the way points and run the boat using existing setups. 
We just are working our way thru Harald's blog as above.
Thanks both for the comments.
We are…"

This project utilises the concept of using the existing APM and configuration tools and a seperate radio link to send back specific telemetry data, in this case depth and a seperate GPS marker so that no code on the APM needs to be changed.I see…

Clinton Mckinnon replied to Oyvind Dahl's discussion We consider offering radar altimeter for UAV's
"Would like to see a solution for using a quad to fly a pre-mapped path of a building envelope to gather science data but this needs some fairly good height control and object avoidance.  The resolution needs to be of a scale that for each building…"

"Hi
Had played around with open EEG as when I looked at emotiv it was hard to get the hardware and the development kit unless you were into games.  This was about 4 years ago, when things started to deteriorate.  Thank you  for the link and info.  I…"

serial driven industrial servo on our home built skid steer. Good candidate for the APM as a rather large ground rover

Many will know of people who through illness or injury who used to fly etc... and no longer can, would like to be able to do so again (I am in the above). Our project (my wife is now my hands) is to use a head based sensor and the APM to achieve…
