I'm working on an inertial navigation system for an autonomous aircraft. An Arduino Mega communicates with an inertial measurement unit (six degrees of freedom, 3-axis gyros, 3-axis accelerometers), a 3-axis magnetometer, static and differe

Also pressurizing an aircraft that isn't a tube can be tricky and evacuation/safety concerns are a messy issue. It will be a while before you'll see manned aircraft in that style.

One of the most enjoyable experiences I've had recently was with Arduino. It's amazingly easy to build cool shit with it. It's both rewarding and fun. An example (since I haven't recorded any of my projects yet; also sorry it's in Portugues

It told me I didn't have their drive connected and to call or mail (not email, what gives?) tech support. Not too pleased with that. I assure you my X25-M was definitely "connected" to my MacBook. The URL they pointed me to was http://www.

Except if you read the article, they make the vast majority of their money off their non-social network properties. You'd be better off comparing them to Yahoo!, AOL, or Google. And they'd be tiny in that comparison. Yet another piece of li

So by 2GB he meant usable, not addressable? I understand that addressable RAM != 4GB due to graphics card memory, BIOS, etc. but 2GB is way less than you could get on a 32-bit server. I just wanted to understand if there's something I'm mis
