About Me:

Software Engineer and becoming drone fanatic


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Well i was disappointed in what AR.drone deployed to the market and thought I could do better. Now I am initiating a project that will create a plug-and-play drones platform with as less soldering as possible. Open Source, of course. And with no focus on being air-borne, but being part of a swarm.

I didnt want to start a java vs. c discussion. I dont know (and mind) wether decompiling c or java is easier."

"Being a Java Developer for quite a decade, we hazzled around with this decompiler stuff (JAD et al) from the beginning. Wonder that problem comes out in .NET so late. Must be a closed source issue."
