About Me:

I am a mechanical engineer, often programming for embedded systems.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I like designing and playing with UAVs, since it involves a lot of domains I am interested in: mechanical design, electronics, programming, control theory... This is a great way to learn. Watching its own machine flying is really enjoyable.

"Thank you for your feedback !
@Hugues: all the smartphone source code has been written by me. It is not so long, it's about 1000 lines of code. I have not tested the Wi-Fi range yet, but I expect it to be up to 100m in favorable conditions, like the…"

Hi all, I would like to present my latest project, a scratch-built quadcopter with a special autopilot: an Android smartphone !The phone is onboard (under the battery), and actually computes how to stabilize the drone. Of course, a phone cannot be…
