Current Projects:
Raspberry pi
This was delivered a few weeks ago. I've got it running with the standard Debian squeeze distribution.
I've finally got it running Wifi 802.11n. That was a struggle. There is a lot of misinformation going through the forums about power problems and wireless networking adapters. In the end, the only problems I encountered were buggy USB support.
It's serving SSH and VNC. I'm having fun logging into it from my phone and showing off to my workmates.
Aeroquad - Arduino Quadcopter
I've been playing with this on and off for the past two years.
It's a four rotor electric "helicopter" with an arduino board as the brains, 3 axis gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer sensors, a barometric sensor. It has room for GPS and SONAR as well.
I use a moderately hacked 2.4GHz radio for remote control, and a 900MHz XBee radio for telemetry & tuning.
Every other month or three, I drag it out and crash it, hence I've played with a vide variety of frames, motors, and props.
