Now that winter is slowly and cruelly creeping upon us, my lackadaisical project efforts have started to give way to a bit of focus. Over the next few weeks, there should hopefully be some big progress (and write-ups) on my projects, that include: * RC Platform (aka UAV/Rover) * RC Hovercraft...
The mission; to develop an Arduino based PWM mixer that can control dual-motor powered vehicles. Having bought two RC vehicles that rely upon dual-motor control, in the process of stripping out their original low-spec electronics, I was in desperate need for a mixer to take the steering and throttle channel...
Having a 4-day weekend is a definite recipe for hobby productivity... Over the Jubilee weekend/week I managed to push forward a number of projects, including; the OO scale card modelling, the RC dual-motor controller and a couple of new projects. One of the new projects is Arduino based and...
Another car boot, another treasure trove of finds - including an RC hovercraft, sets of Star Wars model kits and a pristine Scalextric set... Awesome! Like the RC boat, the hovercraft features twin props, that deliver forward/reverse/left/right, with a third channel controlling the inflation fan. I've already...
Prompted somewhat by coincidence, we happened upon a small model boat exhibition this bank holiday weekend, in the grounds of Holdenby House [http://www.holdenby.com/] alongside it's food festival. I took plenty of pictures of the boats (and birds of prey in their falconry centre), but neglected to take...
The highlight of this week, was looking to be the second cup of green tea I was made yesterday. I'm looking forward to 1st January rather than Christmas, and even beyond to mid-January for the swift completion of the project I'm involved in (double-edged sword there), not to mention for...
