Current project

This will make you laugh...

Hopelessly naïve as am, I've started tinkering with a little project to try and accurately guide a quadcopter to an accurate landing point. I'm ultimately aiming to use a camera from a Wii-mote and Graham Stabler's object in the Obex but for now am using an off-the-shelf equivalent sensor.

I've been writing up my progress here.

If nothing else, its keeping the little grey cells active as the nights draw in.

  • The less naïve, the less fun in life. Impressive project, and impressive write-up. Will you use a short range laser time-of-flight sensor (VL6180) for the last few inches of altitude?

  • Thank you.

    It just so happens I have a Ping)))-type sensor available...

  • I admire the professional way you're going about this, Hugh. A worthy project is a great way to spend time once the days get short. I'll be interested to see the direction it takes, so to speak.
