  • The copter itself is organised around the main CPU. The job of this CPU is to acquire the physical measurement given by the gyroscopes and accelerometers and to control the motors to keep the copter stable. This is done by a regulation loop which controls the motors speed 250 times per second. The radio communication has a pretty low bandwidth and is used to send commands to the copter and receive telemetry data from it. The CPU program can be updated by radio.
  • The computer runs control and telemetry programs. The control program reads the input from a game-pad and sends control commands to the copter. We also have programs that can configure the copter regulation parameters and log the measurements in order to make easier to tune the regulation. All the development is done on Windows and Linux. Indeed we are 3 to work on this project, two of us work on Linux and one is mainly on Windows. Using FLOSS permit to handle that in a very effective way. We are mainly using the GCC compiler from CodeSourcery for the copter program compilation, GNU Make for the project build, Mercurial for the source control, and python/pyusb for the communication with the copter. All these softwares works seamlessly on both Linux and Windows and made the project pretty easy to handle. The distance between the motors (horizontally and vertically) is around 8 cm and the total weight is around 20 g.

  • The top of the board contains the sensors and the control/communication electronic: The JTAG/Serial connector permit to program the processor and to communicate debug messages. The Main CPU is a STM32 Cortex-M3. It is clocked at 64MHz from the internal oscillator. The 2 Axis X-Y Gyro is an invensense IDG500. It has an analog output and thus is connected to the CPU analog to digital converters. The 1 Axis Z gyro is an invensense ISZ500. As the X-Y gyro this is an analog chip connected to the CPU analog to digital converters. The 2.4GHz Radio is based on a nRF24L01+ chip from Nordic Semiconductor. It is actually a breakout board sold by SparkFun. The radio is connected to the CPU via a SPI port. The 3 Axis Accelerometer is a SMB380 from Bosch. It is connected to the CPU via an I²C bus.
  • Here nothing particular, except that the little battery is taped on the bottom of the copter. The battery comes from a Silverlit x-twin plane and actually permit 4.5min of flight time.
  • Under the battery we mostly have power supply and the “power” electronics: The charge connector accepts 5V and permits to charge the battery The power switch permits to power the copter either from the charge connector or from the battery. The 5V step-up permits to increase the power voltage from the 3~4V coming from the battery to 5V. The two 3.3V linear regulators, reduces the 5V to power the copter electronic. The digital and analog 3.3V are generated independently. This was made to reduce the noise on the analog components (here it is the two gyros, a quite critical part). Finally at the four sides we have the motors transistors. The power for the motors pass on the top and bottom of the part of PCB that hold the motors. It can be noted that we also have the battery charging chip just at the right of the 3.3V regulators. It is a classical MAX1555 and is working pretty well. The idea with the step-up was to get a more stable voltage when the battery is depleted and also to remove some of the noise coming from the motor electonic. Anyway, this boars is capable to work without by using 2.8V linear regulators instead. So most likely the step-up will be excluded on the next version and we also plan to integrate the radio on board. The motors and propellers are taken from a Silverlit X-twin plane. They are powered by the battery voltage.
  • The copter is controlled via a python program running on the PC. A Playstation bluetooth gamepad is used to pilote it.

Scripting News: WikiLeaks on the run - 0 views

  • ikiLeaks says you can find them through wikileaks.ch, which redirects to a dotted ID. People exchange this information on Twitter. So in a weird sneaker-net sort of way we have implemented a human DNS.
  • All the while there's a huge glaring 800-pound-gorilla elephant-in-the-room size contradiction. The pols say that businesses can't support WikiLeaks, but the Guardian and the NY Times and the newspapers in Pakistan, Indonesia, Israel -- all over the world -- they're businesses too. So if they're really serious about this, we're in First Amendment territory. They ought to be careful, because the politicians depend on these businesses to sell their product. Without them, they have no way to lie to us.   See the problem isn't that WikiLeaks is lying, the problem is that they're telling the truth. This is not business as usual. 
  • It seems to me that at the end of this chain is BitTorrent. That when WikiLeaks wants to publish the next archive, they can get their best practice from eztv.it, and have 20 people scattered around the globe at the ends of various big pipes ready to seed it. Once the distribution is underway the only way to shut it down will be to shut down the Internet itself.

Arduino - Introduction - 0 views

  • What is Arduino?
  • Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board.
  • Inexpensive - Arduino boards are relatively inexpensive compared to other microcontroller platforms. The least expensive version of the Arduino module can be assembled by hand, and even the pre-assembled Arduino modules cost less than $50
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Cross-platform - The Arduino software runs on Windows, Macintosh OSX, and Linux operating systems. Most microcontroller systems are limited to Windows.
  • Simple, clear programming environment - The Arduino programming environment is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible enough for advanced users to take advantage of as well. For teachers, it's conveniently based on the Processing programming environment, so students learning to program in that environment will be familiar with the look and feel of Arduino
  • Open source and extensible software- The Arduino software and is published as open source tools, available for extension by experienced programmers. The language can be expanded through C++ libraries, and people wanting to understand the technical details can make the leap from Arduino to the AVR C programming language on which it's based. SImilarly, you can add AVR-C code directly into your Arduino programs if you want to.
  • Open source and extensible hardware - The Arduino is based on Atmel's ATMEGA8 and ATMEGA168 microcontrollers. The plans for the modules are published under a Creative Commons license, so experienced circuit designers can make their own version of the module, extending it and improving it. Even relatively inexperienced users can build the breadboard version of the module in order to understand how it works and save money.

Weber (unit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Weber (unit) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search In physics, the weber (symbol: Wb;  /ˈveɪbər/, /ˈwɛbər/, or /ˈwiːbər/) is the SI unit of magnetic flux. A flux density of one Wb/m2 (one weber per square meter) is one tesla. The weber is named for the German physicist Wilhelm Eduard Weber (1804–1891). [edit] Definition
  • The weber may be defined in terms of Faraday's law, which relates a changing magnetic flux through a loop to the electric field around the loop. A change in flux of one weber per second will induce an electromotive force of one volt (produce an electric potential difference of one volt across two open-circuited terminals). Officially,
  • Weber (unit of magnetic flux) — The weber is the magnetic flux which, linking a circuit of one turn, would produce in it an electromotive force of 1 volt if it were reduced to zero at a uniform rate in 1 second.[1]

  • In SI base units, the dimensions of the weber are (kg·m2)/(s2·A). The weber is commonly expressed in terms of other derived units as the Tesla-square meter (T·m2), volt-seconds (V·s), or joules per ampere (J/A). 1 Wb = 1 V·s = 1 T·m2 = 1 J/A = 108 Mx (maxwells).

  • Second From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article is about the unit of time. For other uses, see Second (disambiguation). A light flashing approximately once per second The second (SI unit symbol: s) is the International System of Units (SI) base unit of time[1] and also a unit of time in other systems (abbreviated s or sec[2]). Between 1000 (when al-Biruni used seconds) and 1960 the second was defined as 1/86,400 of a mean solar day (that definition still applies in some astronomical and legal contexts).[3][4] Between 1960 and 1967, it was defined in terms of the period of the Earth's orbit around the Sun,[5] but it is now defined more precisely in atomic terms. Seconds may be measured using mechanical, electric or atomic clocks.

620325 Stirling Engine - ABRA Electronics Inc. - 0 views

  • The 620325 Stirling Engine by Thames and Kosmos uses renewable energy from the sun to drive a generator, which charges a rechargeable battery to power an electric car.
  • Power a Car with Solar Generated Electricity       Discover the Stirling engine, a simple, clean and efficient energy technology that is quickly becoming a viable source of electricity as the availability of fossil fuels declines. The Stirling engine in this kit uses renewable energy from the sun to drive a generator, which charges a rechargeable battery to power an electric car. Named after its inventor, Robert Stirling, the original Stirling engine dates back almost 200 years. Today, high-tech Stirling engines are being used in arrays of giant mirrored solar collectors and common applications like compact generators. NASA is even working on using Stirling engines to power a human outpost on the moon!Like a steam engine, a Stirling engine is a heat engine that converts heat energy into mechanical work, usually to drive a generator that then converts the mechanical energy into electricity. But instead of water and steam, the Stirling engine uses a permanently enclosed volume of gas, such as air or helium, to perform the mechanical work. Stirling engines are highly efficient, can operate very quietly, and can use many different sources of heat: combustion of fuels, nuclear fission, geothermal, or solar heat, as this model uses. The Stirling engine in this kit is located in acharging station with a mirrored parabolic dish. The dish focuses the sun’s rays onto the cylindrical glass bulb of the Stirling engine to heat it up. The air inside the bulb heats up and pushes a piston, which turns an electric generator. The generator produces electricity that charges a rechargeable battery in the car. The car runs on an electric motor powered by the battery.The kit includes the charging station with a beta type Stirling engine, the electric car, and a full-color, 64-page manual.
