The AirProp uses a waterproof servo motor for directional control and a 2200 kv brushless drone motor for turning a 10 inch plastic propeller blade.
More work was completed on the mapping software for AMOS, adding the ability to open text map files for editing the desired route. I've also started working on adding software for viewing sensor data files. I have lots of sensor data collected from this past summer and fall, so it should be interesting to try out some different mapping and graphing techniques with it.
I've been trying new marketing things lately, I watched this video https://marketingperformanceacademy.com/wrong/ last night that gave me some ideas on what I can try changing. I also recently tried a one-day $10 Facebook ad campaign for the A to D board, and got about 2000 views, 33 clicks on the ad's "Learn More" button, and this friendly feedback from a Facebook citizen:
Really, I think this was $10 well spent. The pieces I used for product shots really do need to be cleaned up. They have messy looking soldering, the 3D-printed parts have burrs and imperfections, there are some rusty screws, etc. Might have to see what online services are available for some of that.

Looking good Murray! Going old school with Johnny 5 from Short Circuit!
ReplyDeleteVery good! I never saw that movie though, so I had to Google it to find out who Johnny 5 was. I'll bring a L and XL to tomorrow's game and you can pick!
DeleteThe Opportunity Rover and Curiosity Rover!
ReplyDeleteThose are a couple of my favorites too! Hard to believe that Opportunity lasted for 14 years on Mars and Curiosity has lasted for almost 8 years and counting!
