Hey guys, I’m Marcello and am now a beginner with Navio, Quadcopters, and the RC Hobby field in general. Now don’t mistake this, by this I mean in experience, as I’ve studied several forums about almost anything you can think of for hundreds of hours. I additionally have several hours of experience and a passion in other electronics but I am always looking to learn new things, and there are still many subjects I am unfamiliar as about. I am looking into making a very interesting project and perhaps in being one of those “benchmark” sort of build with all the information I gathered and would like to implement. I will keep the plans for now a secret and most will only be implemented a little at a time as time allows over the coming months. However, I have started this forum to gain some greater knowledge over the Navio system and its possibilities/capabilities, so let some of my questions begin! If you have any information and especially experience I would love to have your opinion, help, and experience, thanks in advanced!!
-
Any ideas/experience with using Arduino for sensing, such as sonars and IR for collision avoidance?
-
Can you extract the Navio’s data in real time (sensors, status, etc.) for use in Question 3
-
Ideas on how to package sensor data (both from Navio and Arduino assuringly, from question 1) For transfer over a wifi/bluetooth network in real time. As I want to collect this data and either send real time packets onto an online interface or to interface onto some other sort of window to display live info.
-
I am looking to perhaps make a custom GPS antenna, so I can package it lighter, and get a better properties for cheap. Any ideas?
-
I have an iPhone, and have recently been looking at DroneKit, I see they are releasing an app possibly soon. I know this is not the right place to ask this but since this is essentially my log, and i mise well put it out there, any ideas on how to translate the python code on the RPi (quadcopter) to an iPhone (for receiving RT sensor data, sending commands/controls)
-
Does anyone know if you can do a follow me system using bluetooth/wifi between the Pi and Bluetooth tag even. By bluetooth tag I mean such as an with arduino (no GPS) that can create a follow me only using the Bluetooth signal. As this would be really easy to waterproof and be great for sports.
-
Can I power the board through a ubec, while using the power monitor? Anyone know of a possible way to monitor the pins of a JST-XH Balance adapter, through RPi or Arduino possibly?
I will keep you guys up to date with any questions I have, I greatly appreciate your support and hopefully my future project will be an inspiration and a great collection of ideas. Thanks for the support guys!!
P.S. Follow the topic and support if your interested!
