About Me:

Degree in Bsc Computing, I like robotics in general.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

My last project is a home-made quadrocopter with a Fonera, inspired in many other stuff of this website, and I would like to share it!

David Melendez commented on Víctor Mayoral's blog post Towards an Open Source Linux autopilot for drones
"Since 2011 I have a quadcopter running on Linux OpenWRT with a Fonera 2201. It has not PREEMPT_RT but has SCHED_FIFO priority in the process, Sleeping by default waiting for and alarm fired by itself in each loop. At 70hz main loop there is no…"

David Melendez commented on Tilman Griesel's blog post OpenFPV Update 1 - Modular telemetry with JS and HTML5 (VIDEO)
"Hi!, I don't undertand the problem 100%. Is the bottleneck in browser because h264 decompression is slow in the browser?
In my case little lag was in the camera side, but not significant. But there was a cheap and low quality one, with MJPEG. In my…"

I wolud like to share with you, two talks that I have made this year in two national security congresses.The first one was in RootedCON 2013 in Madrid, Spain[Spanish]:David Meléndez Cano - Trash Robotic Router Platform (TRRP) [Rooted CON 2013] from…

David Melendez commented on Earl's blog post Raspberry-Pi for autopilot ?
"Software PWM is not doable with RPi and Linux directly, because Kernel scheduling. You will need a PIC/Arduino to do that job"

  • David Melendez I'm afraid I can't help you, because I have no idea about ArduPilot telemetry, because mine is a personal implementation, and is not related in any way with it. :/

David Melendez commented on David Melendez's blog post ATROPOS: Fonera based Quadrocopter
"Hi!. Motors are 1100KV. That means the motors spin 1100 rounds per volt you apply. Motors are for 11,1v LiPos (max operating volts). So you get 1100x11,1=12.210 RPM of maximum rotation speed."

"No extra board needed at all. I2C can be emulated with a kernel module."

"I find it perfect for low cost whole control system. I'm running my copter with a Fon Fonera 2201 router as brain and Wifi as radio link. (The lack of current stability is for my scratch custom control program :)). It is not all, because router is…"

David Melendez commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Custom quad controlled by a hacked wifi router, can be flown through a web browser
"Well, control system is completely home made, because it runs into Fonera and is extremely experimental. It was my first PID tuning, and R/C experience.
Also, filter is not DCM or Kalman, but Simple Complementary :)"

I have been working for a year on my home-made quad. It is made with wood, and it is controlled via wifi using a Fonera Router Both WII NK and WM+  sensors gives the information to the router throughout custom CPU GPIO pins. To achieve I2C…
