- Meeting times will be on Wednesdays from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm and on Saturdays from 11 am to 1 pm. Both meetings will be held in the physics garage room. The stuff that I need help with:
Choosing an appropriate design that will carry a RaspberryPi, an Ardiuno , and the wires that will connect the circuitry.
- Determining what sensors and equipment the quadcopter will need and programming them.
- Making\programming the quadcopter to be stable and can stay level in the air when need be.
- Making a decent User Interface.
- Making a good control scheme for phones and pads.
- Building a simple AI that adjusts the quad copter angle so it becomes stable if thrown.
- Sending video feedback to the control device if it can receive it(desktop,laptop,phones,ipads,etc...)
- Adding cool features to the quadcopter (such as lasers and nurf guns, GPS, person tracking, a small robotic arm, etc....)
- Adding anything you can think of that can be added to make the quadcopter more awesome.
- Help making the project wikipage better\ teaching me how to use the wikipage better

Ahmed, will your homegrown copter fly this Saturday?
Resource information at Drones project! - duncan
No, This Saturday (9/14) we will build the frame of the quadcopter then for each subsequent week adding components until we get a full grown quadcopter with whatever add-on we can. -Ahmed

Installed the OS for the Raspberry Pi:
hostname: soos
ask me for the login credentials if interested (mebert at wisc dot edu)
I was unable to ping the pi through direct connection to the device. Once we get a switch down here it should be easier to set up for ssh.

We built the frame of the quadcopter. Here are some of the images we have taken during the assembly:
- . Thanks Matt Ebert, Ian Wisher, Gautam Govardan, and Daniel Eckerson for helping out!
