Те, кто еще не успел ознакомиться с этой фантастической игрушкой в январе, когда Parrot AR.Drone был впервые показан на CES, могут сделать это прямо сейчас — повод появился более чем весомый. Управляемый по Wi-Fi квадрикоптер, использующий iPhone в качестве пульта дистанционного управления, поступит (!) в продажу на территории США в сентябре этого года по цене $299,99. Причем для этого вам совершенно не нужен iPhone 4G, достаточно старых моделей 2g/3g/gs, или айтача, или айпада (думаю что именно на нем передняя и задняя камеры гаджета будут действительно хорошо справляться со своей главной функцией).
Важным моментом здесь является и тот факт, что разработчики этой штуковины отлично понимают: просто летать и смотреть через камеру в своем айфоне на этот процесс не очень-то забавно и, наверняка, быстро наскучит. А вот открытый софт, позволяющий не только создавать обучающие компьютерные демо, но и augmented-reality приложения для iOS, в которых с друзьями можно устраивать целые соревнования в открытом поле, которое превратиться в военный полигон на экране смартфона… в общем — простора для фантазии хватает. Уже сейчас известно, что две первые игры для Parrot AR.

quadcopter, while easy to get way over technical, is a radio controlled aircraft that uses 4 propellers to fly which are powered by 4 motors (4=quad). The direction and angle that a quadcopter flys in is generally dictated by how much power goes to each motor/propeller…. simple. So why buy a Radio Controlled Quadcopter or ”Drone” (as I hear them called sometimes?) development in radio controlled (RC) quadcopters in the last 5 years has really opened the world of radio controlled flight to consumer novice. A pre built ‘Ready to Fly’ quadcopter with a built in brain (a flight stabilising system) can literally be flown by a person with no prior RC experience without too much drama (a largeThe Parrot AR Drone and the more recent DJI Phantom are two examples of such devices that are targeted at the casual hobbyist and areOpen the box and within minutes you can be soaring hundredsThe Phantom in particular is perfect for a beginner as it uses
GPS to know where it took off from and can be called home to self land at the flick of a switch. What has the DJI Phantom and this hobby brought to your life? me it is fresh air, an amazing view of the world (through the camera lense) and a chance to be creative in 3D! In the air it is just great fun but on the ground it allows me find solutions to problems that haven’t been solved Care to explain some of these problems you have solved? a quadcopter like the DJI Phantom can fly high with a GoPro Hero camera attached to its belly via the included mount. You get an amazing picture of the world once you have landed, downloaded and processed the video. you have a few flights under your belt, you start to see why people in this hobby love a ‘First Person View’ (or FPV as it is more commonly known). With the right kit FPV takes the live feed from the mounted camera and transmits the image to a monitor or a set of
goggles which the pilot can see/wear. The very popular Fatshark Predator V2 is a perfect example. The Predator V2 is popular as it comes with all the bits you need for adding FPV to any radio problem is that neither magic, well wishing, nor any hocus-pocus will send the video image to your eyes alone. You have a transmitter (known as a TX) that has to be mounted securely to the craft, wired for power and also to the camera. You also get a small filter which is used to clean up the image (it is a small circuit board that also needs the DJI Phantom is not a large flying device compared to some and the only real option for mounting the TX and filter is via Velcro adhesive (much loved in theThis works fine for many people but the TX has very little (if any) flat surfaces for the Velcro to adhere to. It also looks a little shabby compared to the clean white lines of the Phantom shell and leaves no protection in the event of a bumpy landing (and yes they can be very bumpy
these problems made me fall in love with the hobby even more as it gave me things to ‘tinker’ with on rainy or windy days when flying was a no go. first efforts included balsa wood and a cut up sandwich box! perfectly but as a designer they just looked shoddy. A true conceptual prototype! So where does Shapeways fit into this back 2002 I completed my degree in Computer Aided Product Design. 3D modelling, which was something I loved doing at the time but had little practical use for me now I am in the web design/I.T business. On the off chance that my age-old version of Rhinoceros would export to Shapeways I gave it a go. uploaded a test “.stl” file flawlessly. Wow… the 3D design world opened up again and the Phantom was a perfect item to practice on! So where has this rekindled love of an old pair of manual measuring callipers (replaced with shiny digital ones now I might add!), I was able to turn my ‘balsa and sandwich tray’ concept into a
real 3D printable undertray that would attach to the Phantom via threaded spacers. This gave me a larger flatter surface to mount the TX and filter to. I thought “well why not make a cage for the TX?” so I integrated a custom fit holder to the Undertray that takes the Fatshark Predator V2 TX safely and in my MK1 prototype arrived I was able to see areas for improvement. was a little floppy. I could see where strength was needed and where bulk couldIt also allowed me to share my design with the growing community of started coming about a separate TX holder, a smaller undertray and ideas relating to camera mounts too. With this to motivate me I decided to take a few hours to re-design the existing model and create some spin offs from it to suit the needs of fellow flyers.So Shapeways is suited to literally couldn’t be a better fit in my opinion. RC flight, less weight means more air time and better control. is that with Shapeways, less weight is actually cheaper to produce so weight
saving can save money too. The other thing that just ‘fits’ is the material properties of the white nylon. It is strong but not brittle and quite capable of taking a healthy bump! I was able to create my very simple but effective GoPro “Frame’ish” with it. It uses the same principal as their original (quite expensive) design where the frame stretches open around the camera and closesFor me this has started as just a bit of fun. It has taken me from a new great new hobby of FPV Quadcopter flying, back into an old (much loved) one ofThe two smashed together perfectly! It is field I never really imagined I would do again with any purpose or end product to hold. creative juices flowing, my mind sharp and my Phantom both functional and great only problem is how addictive it all is. The temptation to buy other bigger and better Quadcopters, Hexcopters (6 props) or Octocopters (8 props) knowing that there are design problems to solve on them could send trembles down my bank
