Thanks to Julian for writing in to share this project! Check out more here. He writes:
The project is an attempt at building a swarm of uas for search and rescue. The flight controller is built completely from adafruit parts. (M0 adalogger, bno055, bmp180, xbee, etc) All housed on an oshpark PCB. The flight controller flies the aircraft with PID control doing all computiations, sensor io and command of the servos on board the pcb. A gui is used to task the aircraft in real time as it flies. Very much still a work in progress. Will be doing a full write up of this semsters work on hackaday.io in the next week or two
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
