It may be named after the most famous volleyball in history, but “Wilson” isn’t just a great conversationalist. [Hayden Brophy] built the free-drifting satellite buoy to see if useful science can be done with off-the-shelf hardware and on a shoestring budget. And from the look of the data so far, Wilson is doing pretty well. Wilson belongs […]

Drone racing is nifty as heck, and a need all races share is a way to track lap times. One way to do it is to use transponders attached to each racer, and use a receiver unit of some kind to clock them as they pass by. People have rolled their own transponder designs with

In the world of drones and hobby rockets, Niklas Bommersbach is making waves with his innovative safety system. Bommersbach has designed a system that detects critical flight behavior in drones, rockets and other aerial vehicles, activating a two-stage parachute deployment for a safe and controlled descent. At the heart of the system is an Arduino Nano microcontroller that monitors
Awesome parachute system saves drones and rockets Continue Reading
You’ve got to hand it to [Tom Stanton] – he really thinks outside the box. And potentially outside the atmosphere, to wit: we present his reaction control gas thruster-controlled drone. Before anyone gets too excited, [Tom] isn’t building drones for use in a vacuum, although we can certainly see a use case for such devices. This

“Drone The Quadcopter” is an featured UAV. I design my project with F450 arm in X-mode design. The full operation takes place via a Flysky FSCT6 remote control unit which gives a better operating range of 800 Meter to 1.2KM. If you are a beginner in this field then you are on the right place.

In this tutorial i want to learn you something, maybe change your mind. And make autonomous drones available for everyone. Simple question is: What do you need to make your drone autonomous? . Answer: – GPS – Accelerometer – Gyroscope – Telemetry wireless system – Camera – Some better micro processor Its expensive right? Real
Autonomous drone that you already have in your pocket! Continue Reading
