http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/sharp-ir-distance-sensor I had much better results when I was testing the Sharp IR sensor in comparison with the MAX EZ4 sonar. However, I am still a relative beginner, and often I get things working by hit and m...

Just throwing stuff out here, but wouldn't a hall effect sensor work for this? the brushless motor is basically a big spinning magnet, which is what the hall effect sensor needs... they use them for ignition timing in cars apparently as a type of ...

Sorry...I am in the middle of my move back to to the Good Ol' USA and all my things are packed up. Don't remember as I wasn't looking at the max range, only speed of response and accuracy, but the reading were very consistent compared with the Max...

What happens to the data when you move beyond the sensor's range?

Remember reading recently that the Air Force's UAV pilot force has now exceeded the actual (fighter?) pilot force.

That would be ideal, agree. However, I think the most beneficial for all would be a program flow chart that would help us identify how blocks of code relate to eachother and so wold be able to edit/develop features. I assume we all suffer from th...

About six posts previously, if I read it correctly, Jordi mentioned that the shield enable function of the code is not used and should be revised/edited out.

Possible useful UAV programming codes

UAV codes.pdf

I am only about 4 hours into my "self-induced" C++ tutorial course starting from "what is a programming language?" So I cannot determine with great certainty how useful the included codes in the attached project may be. I hope that it would help some of you way ahead of me in the programming department.

Would appreciate any feedback… Continue

Air Force Planning Giant Spy Airship

From article below:

"The final version of the airship will be about 450 feet long. However, the prototype will be only a third of that size. The craft is known to military planners as ISIS, or Integrated Sensor Is the Structure, referring to the radar system built into the structure of the craft.

The ISIS has a hull made of a lightweight, thick skin. Zeppelins - like the Hindenburg - have a rigid external structure. Blimps are not rigid, and are given their shape from the pressure of the heliu… Continue
