Finalizing the bot design and figuring out if the pneumatic system will really work. However after doing all of this I figured out it would cost around $450 on top of the $50+ I have already spent. Not sure if I'm ready to commit to that. I fear the robot is to fragile and some 10 yr old with a steel spiny disk bot would trash my bot in a matter of minutes.
For the most part the pi and the electronics are now working with the screen and switches. So I installed the panel in the brew rig and got it setup on the parents WiFi. Slow progress but at least it's progress!
After shelving the quad for a few months due to a faulty kk2.1 flight controller, I'm upgrading that Shit so it will fly again! I bought a Naza M Lite, this is now my second Naza flight controller.... The first one was smashed in pieces when it went out of range with the old FM transmitter build. Didn't really want to buy another since the board is not made that well(trashed after 1 crash), but it mildly affordable and the best flying controller I can find. Going to take her out for a spin tomorrow!
After breaking all the legs with the last cheap set of landing gear. Upgraded to this more sturdy set. Looking good
About half way through the process of combining all 3 electronics boxes into one panel. Also adding WiFi and a webserver for remote temperature monitoring!
The weather was so nice I just had to make a beer! This is a pale ale made with the last pickings of last year's hops, which was about a 2-3oz combination of cascade, nugget, and brewers gold whole leaf hops. Combined this with 6 lbs light malt and an American ale yeast. Gonna be delish...
