@CotswoldJam co-founder and minion, RPi piDrone builder, blogger and Dad but not necessarily in that order!

@CotswoldJam Sadly, I was spending too much time working how mine was (not) working, and not enough on how others were! Were you there?

[Andy Baker @PiStuffing]

@speedystuart @Raspberry_Pi @WORXTools I ended getting a ublox NEO-M8T for my drone @ +/- 1m - anything cheaper and I got what you have.

Multicoloured lightsaber tutorial and a piDrone coming to the @CotswoldJam 15th September 13:00 - 16:00 at Cheltenham.

[Cotswold Jam @CotswoldJam]

@Raspberry_Pi You can see Andy @PiStuffing 's Pi-powered drone in person at our Sat 15 Sept event in Cheltenham. Free tickets from https://t.co/gU6mTb2YEM

Remember Andy Baker’s excitingly flammable demo at our 4th birthday party? Two years later, he’s finished his autonomous drone project. Here’s more.

Just published my @Raspberry_Pi piDrone documentation. Chapter one: “Don’t Do It!”. Hopefully though you’ll find lots of stuff about the sensors and other useful bits and bobs. https://t.co/NiF33d4jor

Found a cap in our loft. Is it yours @CotswoldJam ? 😀

[Andy Baker @PiStuffing]

@rdnewsham No, it doesn't, though the fact I fly at 1.5m off the ground mostly in my back garden with 5m high walls means the only person at danger is me.

Introducing Penelope (Pitstop): a @Raspberry_Pi 3B+, Stretch, Python with 3D accelerometer, gyrometer and magnetormeter along with ground facing LiDAR and video and GPS, allowing file or GPS autonomous- or RC human-control; see https://t.co/Z4fQ8J8iqO for more.

[Andy Baker @PiStuffing]

@goodguyguybrush @Raspberry_Pi To be honest, I have no idea! There's tweaks left for Zoe (the Pi0W pidrone) and Ivy (3B+ pidrone RC), but beyond that, the sky's the limit!

[Andy Baker @PiStuffing]

@rsstab @CotswoldJam This is so slick compared to mine at the @CotswoldJam. Much kudos! Very jealous!

[Andy Baker @PiStuffing]

@DougGore @rsstab @cymplecy @CotswoldJam Search ebay for "olimexery FS90R servo" for a pair including wheels at £27.90 a pair in UK, or from China at £3 is you're patient or £5 if not (P&P is the difference). I got them from China for the @CotswoldJam

[Andy Baker @PiStuffing]

Finally, my (autonomous so far) #RaspberryPi Python piDrone Hermione has allowed a human in control https://t.co/kf8uVY6uSB

@Raspberry_Pi @TheMagP1 Zoe the piDrone (Pi0W) with banana for scale

With battery bank power, a wireless keyboard, and some double-sized-sticky-tape (©Blue Peter), here’s what the @CotswoldJam tutorial can lead you!

[Andy Baker @PiStuffing]

Guess what a pair of pupils at the @CotswoldJam tutorial can do if they work together!

[Andy Baker @PiStuffing]

@CotswoldJam, @AstroDesignsLtd tutorial prototype working fine with 'wheel' moving (A)CW at variable speeds using #RaspberryPi RPi.GPIO software PWM. Safe to get the other kits now! Just the 3 wires needed on right - left side wires are my lightsaber!

[Andy Baker @PiStuffing]

@AstroDesignsLtd & @CotswoldJam: 36 Continuous Rotation Servos arrived from China in 4 days (at a price). Now I need to come up with a tutorial in time for the jam on Sat May 19th https://t.co/17xfYnPRBO

[Andy Baker @PiStuffing]

@AstroDesignsLtd @CotswoldJam @davejavupride Just dug out my original of these from 2012 with an original #RaspberryPi B. Best bit? The #LEGO!
