Rule number 3 of engineering if you don't come out almost double what you costed then you must have made a mistake, the design must be flawed. I...
Ordered the latest Pi, it has a graphics coprocessor onboard, one of the first Small Board Computers to have this ability. I am going to try it...
Yep you have to be born in Victorian times to come up with anything new in engineering, like user names, DaftOldMan345.....name already taken, hahaha
A baffled sensor would be unlikely to have all the holes blocked and you could pick that up in software, the sensitivity would drop off. Strong...
I am going to hinge the foil at the very front, so if the foil control fails then the foil will go to the position of least drag from the forces...
No I will create a baffle like on a car exhaust, one cylinder full of holes, the laser or ultrasound shines down this cylinder, the aim is to make...
On the Rasberry Pi you need to type raspi-config Then you need to enable the following; Camera SSL Serial port. Then setup the Pi for remote...
Here's an updated connection diagram. I am still under $100 for all the equipment so far. The Raspberry Pi Infra-red camera is about $30 **you...
I can see from this already that the camera and laser need to be mounted in front of the foil as the rooster thrown up from the keel slicing...
This is the cheapest entertainment in town that's for sure. A car wind shield motor, a ladder and a pool. It's hypnotic and very cool. I was...
Mission accomplished. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Tada!! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
And then their idea of open source is a lot different from mine, you take a $20 chip and add on a $5 chip and the total is $150 ??? There are so...
Looked at that route already, controlling 4 motors to provide powered lift does not have much similarity to controlling a foil. They use...
OK time for some maths. The radius of the circle the foil will travel will be 2m therefore the circumference and the distance the foil will...
