About Me:

Nearly finished a bachelor degree in Computer Science, interested in aestetic applications of semi-autonomous vehicles (movie making, 3d scanning for games, etc). Main skills: signal processing, filter design, process control


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I hope drones will create crowd-sourced open mapping of the earth for research etc

Göran Sandström commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Phenox FPGA-based microquad runs Linux
"The zynq chip has an arm processor that runs the OS and the fpga fabric can be used for openCV and such. Exiting times, this could perhaps be used as a basis for a parallella-based flight controller!"

Göran Sandström replied to Guille Masco's discussion My sad experience with 3DROBOTICS
"Seems I'm in the same situation now, 1 month and no package, it NEVER takes so long, so it's most likely lost."

Göran Sandström commented on Gerard Toonstra's blog post The European Commission has today proposed to set tough new standards to regulate the operations of civil drones
"What about a petition to stop this? I think you can petition the EU to stop any law if you get enough votes.
If we spread this to enough people, making a strong point on what a huge wedge this will be to economic growth, in agriculture etc, then we…"

Göran Sandström commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Texas law bans some private use of drones
"Because of the positive example a few years ago of a drone used to spot pig's blood polluting a local river, Texas has passed a law banning the use of private drones to collect images of property or people without permission.


There, I fixed it for…"

Göran Sandström commented on Tom Mahood's blog post Personal Drones May Present Public Safety Concerns
"The Swedish Security Service already made an investigation into the dangers of UAVs several years ago ahead of the introduction of commercial drone licenses. Needles to say, it seems they arrived at the common sense conclusion that no "drones" pose…"

"Question: Can it work in USB host mode? Also, have you tried it with easycap for FPV?"

Göran Sandström commented on Bill Bonney's blog post How do you get to your flying field? What does your Mobile Ground Control Station Look Like?
"Wow @Phil that's a cool GCS, but likely not something you'd want paranoid types to spot."

Göran Sandström commented on Mark Harrison's blog post Centimeter-level precision GPS for $900
"There ought to be an inter-gps-device RTK correction cloud."

Göran Sandström commented on Stefan Gofferje's blog post Arduino-based mode switch
"Good idea but the problem still remains, traditional RC transmitters aren't very well suited for drones.

Ideally, a dedicated drone TX needs to be produced, perhaps with a touch screen and serial link to FC?"

Göran Sandström commented on Georacer's blog post Altitude Comparison: barometer vs GPS
"Could weather-data (using a cell-module and gps) and temperature-sensors perhaps be used to correct the barometric measurements?"

Göran Sandström commented on Alexey Kozin's blog post arduplane Automatic flight to alt 2414m
"@Andrew: I agree, I'm just afraid that someone who doesn't see it that way might see videos like this and draw the conclusion that these are dangerous weapons that need to be illegal for everyone but the military.
@Matthew I'm all for a good, well…"

Göran Sandström commented on Alexey Kozin's blog post arduplane Automatic flight to alt 2414m
"When I see stuff like this I think "maybe this hobby should be regulated after all"
It's sad but the stupidity of a few will deprive the enjoyment from the rest who have the decency to use their common sense. Even if this is illegal where it was…"
