It’s been pretty awesome watching the homebrew UAV community discover and embrace Arduino. Back in January community leader Chris Anderson discovered and fell in love with Arduino. Today he posted information and the board design for an Arduino-powered UAV platform. Because everything is open, it’s very easy to combine functionality from other boards in order to reduce the cost:
The decision to port the Basic Stamp autopilot to Arduino turned out to be an unexpected opportunity to make something really cool. I’ve taken Jordi’s open source RC multiplexer/failsafe board, and mashed it up with an Arduino clone to create “ArduPilot”, perhaps the cheapest autopilot in the world. ($110! That’s one-third the price of Paparazzi)
As with their other projects, the UAV schematics, board design, and Arduino control software will be released before they’re done. It’s quite awesome to realize just how cheap the Arduino-based autopilot is:
That’s a $110 autopilot, thanks to the open source hardware. By comparison, the Basic Stamp version of this, with processor, development board and failsafe board, would run you $300, and it’s not as powerful
I’ve been quite impressed by how quickly the Arduino autopilot has gotten off the ground (pun only slightly intended). The decision to port the existing Basic Stamp code to Arduino was made just over a week ago. While I haven’t seen the control code, it looks like the team are well on their way.
I love it when geek topics collide, and this is about as good as it gets. I’ll be keeping a close eye on the ArduPilot, and I can’t wait to see it in the skies.

Solar water heater or solar hot water is water heated by the use of solar energy. Solar heating systems are generally composed of solar thermal collectors, a water storage tank or another point of usage, interconnecting pipes and a fluid system to move the heat from the collector to the tank.
Sonnenkollektor oder auch Solarkollektor ist eine Vorrichtung zur Sammlung der im Sonnenlicht enthaltenen Energie. Traditionell steht die Bezeichnung für einen thermischen Solarkollektor, der mit der „eingefangenen“ Sonnenenergie ein Übertragungsmedium (Heizwasser) aufheizt, wobei nahezu das gesamte Strahlungsspektrum des Sonnenlichtes in thermischen Solaranlagen mit relativ hohem Wirkungsgrad ausgenutzt wird. Vorrichtungen zur Gewinnung von elektrischer Energie in Photovoltaikanlagen werden dagegen als Solarmodule bezeichnet.
