May I ask those of you who are members of Hack Spaces or Maker Spaces or groups to publicise this talk to your members, who may well be interested.
Gareth Owenson (né Owen) will be giving a talk on Saturday at the PLUG meeting entitled "Building and Programming Drones." http://www.portsmouth.lug.org.uk/talks/201611.html Abstract: “You've seen drones filming stunning video and perhaps even flying acrobatics, now come and learn how to build and program them. Being someone who likes to learn by building things from scratch, I'll tell you about how I went from from knowing nothing about model aircraft five years ago to building a drone from scratch, including programming a linux autopilot and manufacturing PCBs - and all the mistakes (and injuries) I had along the way. We'll cover everything from flight control algorithms to soldering components that are smaller than a millimetre. Perhaps we'll even talk about drone hacking too :-)” Gareth is an expert on security, so the hacking bit should be interesting. ;-) Lisi -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
