Technology kits & Co.Technical gadgets for Christmas
The Christmas holidays - a time to relax and immerse yourself in technical gadgets. Computer&AUTOMATION has put together some experimental kits and books that make great Christmas presents.
The book "Build & tune your own rover drone" uses a detailed DIY project to show how a versatile rover drone can be planned, built, tuned and used with a lot of fun and manageable effort. Specifically, the reader learns how to select the individual components for building a rover drone and what to look out for when building, setting up, driving and optimizing it. Autonomous control of a rover is a particular challenge. Fortunately, there are hardware and software components available from the world of multicopter drones that can be used for this purpose: The well-known and popular open source system ArduPilot (APM) can be used to send the rover on autonomous missions.
