NodeCopter Ideas

A brain dump of ideas for potential nodecopter projects

Acurate position feedback from kinect

Watch a flying nodecopter using a kinect, allowing for a much more precise positioning system and tighter feedback loop.

Flight recorder (and replayer)

var serialport = require('node-serialport')

var sp = new serialport.SerialPort("/dev/ttyO3", { 
  parser: serialport.parsers.raw,
  baud: 9600
})

sp.on('data', function(chunk) {
  console.log(chunk.toString('hex'), chunk.toString(), chunk)
})

# 1. Put this file to /etc/pf.conf
# 2. Install init boot scripts using IceFloor then - http://www.hanynet.com/icefloor/
#    I tried to use IceFloor to configure everything but it didn't work very well.
# 3. Once done, you can confirm the rules were loaded with 'sudo pfctl -sr'
# 4. At System Preferences -> Security -> Firewall -> Firewall Options,
#    check 'Block all incoming connections' to prevent annoying per-app dialogs.

I want to get off Gmail for two reasons:

1. my own *@mislav.net address
2. to get my email under my own control so I can write scripts to process/analyze it

I've asked on Twitter what software should I use.
Here are the aggregated suggestions.

SMTP
