Modify Air Swimmer Using APM.
Hi everyone :)
Recently i just found out this air swimmers which used infrared to control it. For my current project,i am thinking is it possible to use some programme so that we can control the fish by using RC control and ArduPilot Mega board?
Here is the instruction video of the air swimmer, you will understand how it works after watching this.

Hope someone can help me or give me some idea about this.
Thank you!

I got one as a gift as well, and definitely had similar ideas.
It seems that a blimpduino setup would be a good place to start. Sonars being the key part.
Then you just need to figure out what commands make the tail move back and forth, and which ones move the CoG trolley.
Definitely potential, and I think the thing could carry a little more weight.

Thank you for your reply!!!
But can i ask more question? i am not sure on what i have to do now...
So what you means is it used the blimpduino board? How could i connect the tail & CoG trolley to my board to transmit signal to them?
Another method i can think of is substitute the tail motor & CoG trolly with servo... Is this possible?
