Tomorrow night we'll do podcast #21, which everyone here is welcome to participate in by listening to the chat live above and commenting and asking questions via the DIY Drones chat function. We'll be starting at 9:00 PM PST and will probably go about 40 minutes.

This week we'll by joined by Nima Kayvan, of the Project Andromeda team, which is competing in this years Australian Outback Challenge. Along with creating their own autopilot (using a commercial IMU), they built their own CNC machine to make their beautiful airframe a reality.

As always you can subscribe to the podcast here. Tonight's livecast will be recorded and available as a podcast by Tues of the next week.

Just a quick update: I've posted some stuff on our new catapult that might be worthy of a discussion as well:

Nima, thanks for the clarification. So this autopilot is 100% custom? Awesome--we'll want to hear more about that on the podcast.

Just a quick clarification: we were using a commercial (Microstrain) IMU for our previous autopilot but in this new one we are using an ADIS16400 sensor from Analog Devices with a UKF/EKF.
