About Me:

Just a hobbyist, looking for difficult projects to try out.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I have been building drones for a few years now, and love all of the small ancillary electronics projects that it requires. Also, the mathematics is incredible as well.

Scott Plunkett replied to Drone Savant's discussion Kevin Finisterre, DIYDroneSafety and Drone Savant persona
"SO, I'd like to hear from the Mods / Devs...are there specific and real issues here?  This seems to me to be a set of rants that could be easily remedied with a mention in the documentation.  Perhaps a "Best Practices" section that says, "Hey, it is…"

Scott Plunkett commented on Sam Kelly's blog post Coming soon: MinimOSD!
"This is so awesome...I was about half way into the design on one of these for my ArduStation HUB project...now I can just drop in a header and add it in.

Scott Plunkett replied to Joel's discussion O.S. Engines Wankel Rotary
"I had an older one of these with a different carb (changed it over to a similar dual needle) - think of it as being in between an electric and a typical glow / gas model.  The sound is great (if that matters to you.)  Mine was on an UltraStick from…"

Scott Plunkett replied to Sarunas's discussion Ultimate IMU
"These are all very similar...the Mongoose and the Sparkfun parts are the same, except that the Mongoose adds a Barometric pressure sensor.  The x-IMU is a very different animal - it uses a PIC uController and IMU-3000 rather than the ITG-3200 paired…"
