Randy replied to Bertrand Duchiron's discussion 'Error compiling code with arduino IDE 1.00'
@bertrand,      I just checked in a bunch of changes yesterday to add support for Arduino 1.0 so I think it will work now if you get the latest code from trunk.  Remember to use the Arduino with the relax-patch which…

did you look at the Ubiquiti product like the bullet M5 and the nanostation, http://ubnt.com/airmax

btw the device does record how long its standing still or when the vehicle stopped at a certain position. so yeah it could actually track cheaters. That's how the murderer got caught. the tracking device record such as GPS jammer that he was at…

Do you get good reading with the Pitot in this position? No turbulence perturbation?

@vladimir i agree that imu might mean different things. This board is an alternative to buying different breakout boards from sparkfun for each sensor. diyd oilpan is same (no microprocessor), diyd imu v2 flat is same because it just…

You sure about terminology? IMU - Inertial Measurement Unit. It's mean - measure, calculate, filtering and so on... As I see this unit only integrate all sensors in one board. Any information about filtering and integration algorithm, any…

Hi,   This is I2C address of sensors: ITG3200 -> 105 BMP085 -> 119 BMA180 -> 64 HMC5883 -> 30   If you have any questions don't hesitate. Thanks and have a good day.

@sebastian, you will find some sensors can support configuration of i2c address via hardware connection. this prevents the problem of two sensors having same address on i2c line. I haven't looked at the sensor specifications but it is easy to…

Miga motors nanomuscle : servo substitute?

Posted on October 31, 2011 at 12:58pm 5 Comments

I was looking for a parachute ejection system for one of my small UAV and I found the miga motors nanomuscle. Cheap  SMA system linear actuator (less than 10$ unit), I was thinking about using some instead of the servos on UAV.

Detect airplane/UAV using Passive Radar technology

Posted on June 26, 2011 at 5:45pm 8 Comments

This video and the PDF present a simple way to build a passive radar system (using low cost hardware and free software) to determine the velocity and position of an aircraft . So far not small enough to be mounted on an UAV but maybe one day.

 

The video (51 min) is the presentation of  Eric Blossom at the 22th Chaos Communication Congress
