Here is a drawing of a simple test stand. It is a sketch.
Idea is to allow rapid testing of gyros valves and code in a safe 2D
environment (kind of). Head at left rotates on axis of boom, it would
have jets (props) and sensors. Boom mounted so it can move up and down
and round and round, limited in both so it don't twist cables or hit
ground. Box on right has desktop computer to control the jets.
Details? Weld car front wheel spindle upright in TV antenna roof mount
tripod. Use half of U joint for boom pivot. Old sailboat mast for boom,
use sail track for adjusting weights. U bolt computer tower case upside
down to boom (flip CD!). Use pigtails instead of rotating fittings to
cut cost.
I'd do this my self, but what's the point? I can't write code. By
the way if you built it with portability in mind you could carry it on a
station wagon, demo it in a gym or auditorium. Every time you buy a new
sensor you could test it with out risking a vehicle.-- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>----<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ........ Alex Fraser N3DER ......... ......... [EMAIL PROTECTED] ....... [~]_>^</\-[~]_>^</\-[~]_>^</\-[~]_>^<
