Re: Some questions about building an Antweight
For me, I'd either * Get some off the shelf tiny steel or aluminum right-angle brackets - but most are too large for antweights * Get an extruded alu right-angle piece and drill some holes in it OR * Strip-bend the polycarbonate. Perhaps the strongest and lightest way is to strip-bend the plastic. T...

Re: Raspberry Pi zero as radio receiver
@Lincoln, that looks pretty cool, it has a receiver for wifi or bluetooth? Does it have ESCs and voltage regulator built-in ? And IMU sensors too?

Re: Raspberry Pi zero as radio receiver
Regarding failsafe - it should be easy enough to use the Raspberry Pi chip's hardware watchdog. The software will be programmed to "kick" the watchdog frequently while it is receiving (or not receiving) a signal - if the software fails in some way, then it stops kicking the dog, and the ch...

Re: Raspberry Pi zero as radio receiver
I did consider maybe ardupilot hardware could do the job. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but I wanted a board which included some sensors, was programmable and included a radio receiver, I couldn't find one. Also I'm a bit lazy and debugging complex arduino code is more difficult than on ...

Raspberry Pi zero as radio receiver
Hi, I don't know if this is remotely plausible, but has anyone considered using a Raspberry Pi Zero W as a radio receiver? The reason I want to do this, is to allow on-board processing using accurate sensors (mostly gyro) to implement some kind of "drive by wire". It would still act as a m...
