A brain dump of ideas for potential nodecopter projects
Watch a flying nodecopter using a kinect, allowing for a much more precise positioning system and tighter feedback loop.
Write all commands to a log file (or stream elsewhere) and allow replay of logs back to the copter again to repeat movements.
Allow programming of a route in the Logo programming language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language) and then replaying
Stream the gyroscope data back to a web and draw a 3d model of the copter in its real world position (tilt, rotation etc) in a web browser
Quite tricky, but could take snap shots from the camera and record with position, angle etc, and try to recreate an indoor streetview from them.
Attach some long feelers to all 4 corners, providing feedback when getting too close to any wall.
Is it possible to get a nodecopter to spin its rotors the other direction and fly upside down?
If rotors can be reversed, can they be used to create force to hold a nodecopter to a angled source or even a wall?
Make one copter mimic another, and then have two waltz, as dancing partners
I've managed to get one copter dancing to music, why not 5 in a row?
- Velco - for sticking to things and other quadcopters
- Mifi device - for much greater range over GSM/3G
- Lazers
@maxogden just pushed a Logo module: https://github.com/maxogden/logo-drone
I think the standard firmware would through a proper tantrum if you tried to fly it upside down or stick to a wall - I think it tries to keep the drone level.
