About Me:
Electronics, i teach electronics at University level, i have a passion for pretty much most things electrical and electronic, power control, micro control, alternative energy, amateur radio and teaching any of the above. I spend my time between my home town of Ipswich, Suffolk, United Kingdom and Jakarta, Indonesia. Indonesia seems to have adopted me, and ive embraced Indonesia with a passion.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
All related to the above, but stems from the days when i was involved with model planes, radio control, and fitting a cine camera to a large RC, It was the nearest thing i could get to flying a real plane! With extensive experience of 50 years of electronics, a passion for micro control and 33 years as a qualified Amateur Radio operator at technician level, all mixed up and added to a keen and growing interest in UAV's, the possibilities are endless!
Hometown:
Ipswich UK and Jakarta Indonesia

"Basically, although ive not gone into the 'ins and out's' of this, you should be able to take the RS232 signal out of the IOIO which is being controlled by an Android device and feed this into an RS232 port on a PC. Using a terminal program or…"
"sounds like an ideal marriage between a Crius Pro V2 and an IOIO plus any additional sensors from Sparkfun"
I have a Crius Pro v2 and in most manuals and topics ive seen, the setting up for the Crius is either for a heli or a UAV with 3 rotors or more.Im building a UAV which is a twin rotor or tandem similar to a Chinook heli, and im struggling to find…

I am a little confused over this forums structure...!!!"

Gentlemen Ive been really following this post with a big interest, ive been tempted to reply many times to other postings, but due to work pressures, a small mobile phone, and on the go, i waited until the next day, that never gave me…
"Can anyone give me better specs on these engines?"
Im working on a UAV hybrid, and i have 2 engines with differing and confusing specs.My aim is to gear down the output to around 5000 RPM to match the alternator.The first engine, is a Kyosho GT 0.15Ci (2.5cc) rated at just under 0.5 Hp at 29,000 RPM…
"Gentlemen,
My apologies for my late replies.
After much hunting around, for various bits of data, most i find, are confusing, so the good old fashioned 'gut feeling' is playing a major part in this!
So far ive semi decided on a 3…"

Hi guys, Rather then re-invent the wheel, i thought i would ask questions here, as this is the place for real answers.Im working on a UAV which will have 2 sets of coaxial rotors, the blades are off the shelf types with a diameter of…
I recently purchased and old camcorder from my local repair centre for £3.50 (5$) to rob the zoom lens out for a UAV project. Whilst recycling some of the bits from this old Canon, i spotted something that looked remotely familiar, i remembered…
"Whats the latest on this?"
"In a word, no! First of all there is a discrepency in frequencies, the Xbee works on 868Mhz, the above equipment works in the 900Mhz GSM band, it just wont see the signal, also the Xbee uses a different protocol to GSM so even if they were on the…"
"Can you describe in further detail what you mean by 'Custom Hardware'?"
