Add a coil, rectifiers and you could harvest some of that 60 hz AC power. Great work!

Ted,

What frame are you using for the software checkout? Looks like flying in "X" configuration. Is it more stable than "+"?

Regards,
TCIII

I will def be looking forward to checking out the code when it goes public beta. I had a leisurely read through the Aeroquad code last night. +1 for the song. What was it?

Just curious, what was I watching here that couldn't be done with the AR.Drone?

Comment by Taylor Cox on June 26, 2010 at 11:55am

Didn't it fly upside down for a little bit? Not to mention this arduCopter will be able to do much more than the A.R.Drone once everything is completed.

Xander, when you get an AR.drone you'll see that it's not great outdoors (it can't handle much wind), really not designed to fly much off the horizontal plane, and not designed to fly above ultrasonic sensor height (about 15 feet). I've had one for about six months and I love it indoors. But it's only acceptable outdoors on the stillest days.

Any chance we can test the software on the bench ?
