Project MEHA and SEPA

[crenn]

With the creation of this thread, these projects have gone past planning and have been ordered, although this thread won't be updated until I get the first parcel from Hobby King delivered. If you haven't heard what MEHA and SEPA is, you'll want to start here:

http://crennsmind.com/index.php/curr...with-autopilot

I'd also like to thank the people who have helped fund me to Stage 1 of each project; I've got a few months work ahead of me now, once the parcels arrive. I hope that by the project's end, it's going to be still interesting and educational. Plenty of pictures, videos and code are to come!

I'll also be having fun with collecting sensor data from the aircraft when I get it (who said anything about not putting a microcontroller into the aircraft the moment I got it!) and also learning how to fly (well... if the simulator is anything to go by.... mainly learn how to land xD) the aircraft.

Things required to be able to measure the sensor data:
Microcontroller with enough IO/Interfaces to collect data
A microSD card to store the data
A triple axis accelerometer
A dual (or triple) axis gyroscope

Luckily I have access to all of those things!

I'd say facebook is useless, but people still use it ;D

The international order which contains everything for MEHA except for the LiPo battery which I'm still waiting for, has finally been packed and shipped to me. Photos to come after I get the package... Also room cleaning is REALLY needed now!

Went to the post office today, they brought out a large package for me, looking good, it had an EMS label on it, looking very good, it was from Japan..... DAMN!
