The first parts for the quadcopter have arrived: the beaglebone black boards that I would like to use as controllers. I bought two, one for use on the quad and another for experimentation and general tinkering. The beaglebone black comes with four PWM output pins I hope can be controlled at the same time, I still have some documentation to read and small experiments to make to find out which interfaces to use best. Next up would be to figure out which other parts to order first and to get a go at the design of the software to control the quad.
A long overdue update
Has it really been 5 years since I last posted an update? Shame on me…
A lot has changed in those 5 years, a breakup with the girlfriend, moved out of my parents house, got a new job in an exciting international company, bought a motorcycle and some electric guitars and started taking guitar lessons, but I haven’t been able to continue on those old electronics projects.
I’ll be blowing more life into this blog with a new and exciting project I’ve started on: building and programming my own quadcopter. And I’ll be adding more personal and increasingly cynical views on the world here too.
You will hear from me again soon!
