Show HN: hoverbot.io, my robotics side project
- adamweld 10y agoHi, this is my boot-strapped side project that I started this semester alongside my classes. I'd be happy to answer any questions here.
- grzm 10y agoThanks for submitting. This should probably be a "Show HN". https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
- saverio-murgia 10y agoThis is very cool! We used to have a similar one at the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL (http://lis.epfl.ch/ http://lis.epfl.ch/) How many people and how much time did it take to design and prototype it?
- adamweld 10y agoI'm working on HoverBot with a friend at a different university, but I did all the design and prototyping work on this quadcopter over the course of 2-3 months.
- rohmanhakim 10y agoThis is really awesome. Did you learn to built quadcopter by yourself or did you got it from your university?
- EJTH 10y agoLooks like a nice micro quad. Have you considered sending out some examples for reviewers (Flitetest on YT as an example) ? It might be worth it marketing wise.
- FullyFunctional 10y agoThis is cool and I'm tempted. However I was disappointed to see that Quads these days are still using the ESC abstraction; ISTM that there would be much benefit and savings from a tighter integration, or at least a better digital and bidirectional ESC protocol (yes, I did checkout OneShot and MultiShot - not it).
