Good progress made this weekend

I have five of the six motors and ESCs calibrated. Missing a bulit connector for motor number one.  Will try and pick one up tomorrow. 
Have ordered the landing skids from amazon. Looking at having the battery under the frame with the flight controller on the top plate.

Motors and ESC arrived!

I now have most of the parts I need to start the multirotor build. Makeshift indoor work bench ready for action. (It's way too cold for working in 'the shed')

Power Module

Power module built over Christmas with the Z80 module installed on to the backplane
Little more work needed to the single step hardware, this will be used to execute one instruction at a time. Single clock hardware finished, jumper will be used to switch between them.



Inside the box

All looks to be very good quality, can't wait to start the build.

Z80 Board Started

First board to hold the Z80 CPU and single step circuit. 


Multirotor Project Underway

Wow, fast delivery from Build Your Own Drone!
I now have my frame


Happy New Year

I thought it would be a good idea to put all my stuff on the web together in one place.  Doing this at the start of the year seems like a good time, so lets see if I can keep this blog up to date with all my projects and information.

You will find my current projects on the menu bar at the top of the page, and my older projects to the right.

I will warn you now that I'm very good at starting projects but not finishing them!
