G+_Travis Hershberger Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 So, how long before we get some FPV and camera segments? I know both CrankyHippo and PadreSJ both have them by now. Someone is putting together his birthday wish-list :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 We're getting there... but we try to balance the Quadcopter segments with other material. (Networking, Arduino, Windows Tips, Linux, Science-y stuff, etc) -- It takes longer to get through all the material I'd like to cover, but it keeps the show balanced. Of course... for some people, ANY multi-rotor material is too much and "OMG StOp wIt aLL da DroNe StuFF!" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 FPV = "First Person View" - Basically, you have a monitor (or glasses) that shows you the feed from a camera on the craft. -- It's an AWESOME way to fly. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Michael Heinz Actually... I've got Charpu coming on "Padre's Corner" in a few weeks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Heinz Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 NICE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Heinz Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I saw a video that showed his hands on the controls while he was flying. I don't think I'm capable of making such precise movements. (Thinking of how I solder like I have Parkinson's...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_The Grimm Perspective - Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I can't wait to experience it for myself. Would love some advice and see the topic on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Hershberger Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Cory Grimm Yeah, I've been tempted to try the FPV kit from HobbyKing.com. I think they've mentioned that you want different camera types to do FPV than what you'd want to use for video/pictures as well. Watching some of the FPV videos on YouTube is enough to make me squee, I want to do that myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
