About Me:
Studying Masters in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Leeds, England. I'm developing a surveillance UAV for my masters project!
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Remotely controlled aircraft are exciting! I like the idea of real time aerial imagery, and the challenge of building an aircraft that can fly itself.
Hometown:
Edinburgh, UK

"Looking into it further (but still really just scratching the surface), perhaps the best way to communicate inter-process would be UDP. The flight gear comms are over UDP, which I guess would give me quite a good template. Unfortunately I'd probably…"
"This looks useful! I'm going to give it a go next week with some airship control software I've written that needs some HIL testing before we try and fly the thing.
I'm not using MAVLink for comms, so I'd have to modify the input and output blocks…"

"With regards to sonar and cold weather: I know that some sonar devices can be calibrated with a speed of sound value (the SRF02 certainly has that feature), or can be configured to return echo time in uS rather than distance. I guess the speed of…"
A UAV developed by the Japanese Ministry of Defence. The video's in Japanese unfortunately, but it does show some interesting concepts that I don't believe have been seen in many drones before.The principle new concept is the single ducted fan that…
"I know it's nitpicky, but it would probably be a good idea to avoid suggesting that hydrogen fuel cells or fuelled vehicles "run on water", as that gives some sort of credibility to the people peddling those devices which supposedly increase your…"
"In further to my previous post, a little bit of research seems to indicate that the yaw servo is there to cancel out the effects of asynchronous thrust, which varies at different engine speeds. That makes sense - sorry for the silly question. Very…"
"Hi,
Please excuse my ignorance of this topic, but why is the yaw sensor needed? Does having three degrees of control not give you three degrees of freedom for rotation? Is it present to make control easier (rather than having to undertake…"

"I made a long post, but based on reading the RCGroups project, his code isn't based on yours. I wouldn't be surprised if it's influenced by your source, but it's not based on that codebase, and so a DMCA takedown notice probably wouldn't be the…"
