About Me:
I like to build things, from software, to houses, to surfboards, to 3D printers. I have a masters degree in Mechanical Engineering and am a professional software developer at Azima DLI where I write code to interact with all of their signal acquisition hardware and develop digital signal processing codes. I work mainly in C++. My formal background is in computational mathematics and I have code projects in fluid dynamics, electro dynamics, and magneto hydrodynamics.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
UAVs interest me and as I thought about how I could contribute I came to the conclusion that autonomous flight control including long range obstacle avoidance (the static kind of obstacle) and reactive obstacle avoidance (dynamic and close range) is where progress is needed. And I think I have the right basic skills to jump in and contribute. AND it's really interesting!

@scott, check out Ardupilot.org, as that is where you will find the lead developers of the project roaming. Maybe paste your post here, and here. Those are the perhaps the two biggest developer…"

"Hi Ben,
I never did get very far with this. Was looking for a group where I could contribute a bit and learn, didn't find one, then work got pretty busy.
I had a look at the DJI Guidance SDK website and feel that documentation is lacking. Not…"

"Having a direct link between the LiDAR and a dedicated high performance processor makes sense to me. The LiDAR information isn’t any good to the flight controller on its own, it needs to be interpreted. My interest lies there in interpreting the…"
"Right now I am interested in an open source project. I guess I must be thick, but I can’t seem to find a project under the Droncode umbrella that is working on Obstacle Avoidance and Path Planning. I see these two terms surrounded by dashed lines…"
"Wow! That Teraranger device looks really interesting. How are you using it on your copter? I mean, you receive range data from the Teraranger, then how do you translate that information into flight instructions?"
"Well… I am a mechanical engineer and longtime C++ developer. At my job I write code to interact with networked A/D devices to gather vibration signals. I spend a lot of time writing fault tolerant network code, but once I do receive data I provide…"
Hello! I am a developer and interested in Obstacle avoidance. Could someone direct me to a group or individual working in this field? Is anyone working with LIDAR, optical sensors, and the like for obstacle avoidance and path planning? I’d like…
