"Hi Omer. My set of 5 Powerfilm solar cells all together deliver about 2.5 W under perfect conditions. They are not particularly efficient on a W/m^2 basis - only about 7%. There are other cells with much higher W/m^2 metrics. However, the cells…"
"Hi Jack. More technical details about the solar cells, etc are given in the rev 1 post (http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/diy-solar-airplane)"
Here is my new solar airplane (the previous version is here). As before, it uses the Parkzone Vapor's radio and motor, plus five Powerfilm solar cells. In parallel with the solar cells, I include a tiny 20mAh lipo battery to keep the radio…
"I am just brainstorming here, but imagine a sensor whose output was the direction of the sun.
Since you know the direction of the sun in the ECEF coordinates, you could partially determine your own attitude in ECEF coordinates. There would be an…"

"Nice work! The video provides definite proof that your attitude estimation is working very well.
It occurs to me that it should be possible to run a system the other way. That is, by tracking your shadow (or the sun) you can estimate your attitude…"

I have been tinkering with solar powered RC planes this summer. The photos above shows the latest incarnation. This model uses the Parkzone Vapor's radio gear and motor ( http://www.parkzone.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=PKZ3380 ), plus five…
"Whoops,
Never mind my previous post. I was looking at the Razor (Sparkfun) schematics, not the ArduIMU+ schematics. The Razor doesn't have a pad for SPI slave select, but it looks like the ArduIMU+ does (aka PWM1).

"Hi Jordi,
Cool board! I am interested in integrating this board into a larger system. Ideally I would be able to talk to it over SPI, i.e. using the Atmega as SPI slave. The one thing that seems to be missing for this to be easily doable is a pad…"

"I work at Intel Research, where we do a lot of machine learning research, AKA AI. We are closely affiliated with the University of Washington, which is an excellent school for CS. BTW, what schools are you considering for graduate studies? I am a…"
"I agree with OliverD, for the most part. The InertiaDot was not designed for UAV's. It is mostly designed to be worn by people. Further, it uses some pre-production parts from a company I cannot name (we signed a NDA). Bill's UAVDevboard is…"

"The devices we develop at Intel Research are not typically sold. They are built to facilitate the various research project that we are working on here in the lab (unfortunately no UAV's). However we do occasionally share devices with other…"
