I'm looking for a short list of the most modern and resource inexpensive LIDAR SLAM algorithm's. I'm looking for something that can run reasonably well on an ODroid or possibly RPi. For example, I have found that the tinySLAM algorithm…

Hushel Roberts commented on Sven Hoffmann's blog post FPV & R/C over multiple public cellular networks
"720p25 latency max 200ms
That is a pretty amazing frame rate over cellular. Which video compression format were you using, and did you use any libraries or roll your own code?"

Hushel Roberts replied to Andrew Crinson's discussion Wifi Telemetry module for pixhawk.
"It doesn't need another board. Do remember that RX of ESP goes to TX of your connecting module and vice-versa. I created my own project with a standalone MCU and ESP-12, and it has been working well so far. I haven't tested the full range yet, but…"

Hushel Roberts commented on luke cooke's blog post Is DIY Dead?
"Well, this question certainly provoked some good responses. My 2¢'s

I think this question actually speaks more to human psychology than it does drones. There is a deep, inherent trait among humans to build things. That's one of things that we do. I…"

Hushel Roberts replied to Ryan Evers's discussion Want to build my first Quad-copter, but need advice
"I just threw out that number (30 mins). I wasn't trying to suggest that should be your target. Sorry if I gave that impression.

That does bring up a good point though. Is there an online calculator that he can use which is easy for beginners? Some…"

Hushel Roberts replied to Ryan Evers's discussion Want to build my first Quad-copter, but need advice
"I agree with Alex on most of his points. The one thing I would add is to study a few different builds people have made. There are lots of tutorials on the net and quite a few on DIY. Really try to understand what the most likely problems are that…"

"So, it sounds like you have spent lots of time diagnosing and debugging the airspeed sensor. My guess is that it isn't the airspeed sensor directly.
Going back to basics, I would first ask if you made any changes in either software or hardware in…"

"I like your org. Ok, that pretty much answers my question. 5 km is well over what we need, and I feel pretty confident about it moving forward. Thanks for your help Ronald! "

"Thanks Ronald for the feedback. Have you had any any problems with packet loss? If so, do you know about what range it started cutting out? "

I just joined DIYDrones, so forgive me if this topic has been covered. I've integrated telemetry using the ESP-12E with my flight controller. I have tried both UDP and TCP signals with success over direct with softAP. I have two questions:1. Has…
