Wireless communication technology - Wi-Fi.Featuring a high definition camera with a video recording facility, plus flight data sharing, a patented piloting mode, and an innovative pressure sensor for increased stability at any altitude, Parrot's amazing AR.Drone 2.0 Elite Edition quadricopter can even perform four axis flips on command! The exclusive Elite Edition packaging includes one 1000mAh lithium polymer battery to provide up to twelve minutes of flying time, plus a convenient mains charger with international adaptors. Each individual product is supplied attractively packaged in its own specially designed printed carton with a distinctive indoor and outdoor hull, plus one pair of black propellers and another customised pair of propellers to compliment the colour scheme. Inspired by desert, arctic and rain forest landscapes. Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Elite Edition QuadricopterĮasily controlled by Wi-Fi using a Smartphone or Tablet, the latest Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 Elite Edition collection offers enthusiasts a choice of three classic camouflaged styles comprising sand, snow or jungle liveries.% script/connect "The Optics Lab" -p "particleorwave" -a 192.168.0.1 -d 192.168.7.43Īfter installing the node library, it’s fun to make a node.js REPL (Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop) and steer your drone: var arDrone = require('ar-drone') When was the last time you connected to something with Telnet? Here’s an example of how you would open a terminal and log into the drone’s computer directly. The Parrot runs a stripped down version of Linux. It’s fun to Telnet into your drone and poke around. Luckily, there is a super useful project called ardrone-wpa2 that has a script to hack your drone to join your own WiFi network. Every time you want to try something, you need to disconnect from your network and get on the drone’s network. Getting startedīy default, the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 serves a wireless network that clients connect to. See Figure 2 for a diagram illustrating the architecture of the drone: Figure 2. In the end, I used Microsoft’s Cognitive Service APIs for this project because it’s the only API that offers custom facial recognition. Microsoft, Google, IBM, and Amazon all have fast, inexpensive cloud machine learning APIs. This setup led to lower latency than running a neural network directly on Raspberry PI hardware, and I think this architecture makes sense for hobby drone projects at the moment. I decided to run the logic on my laptop and do the machine learning in the cloud. I hope someone builds Javascript wrappers for other drone platforms because the language makes it easy and fun to deal with our indeterministic world. The last time I seriously programmed robots, I used C, where the threading and exception handling is painful enough that there is a tendency to avoid it. Node isn’t a language I’ve spent a lot of time with, but I walked away from this project super impressed with it. And trust me, while flying a drone, there will be a lot of asynchronous events. Javascript turns out to be a great language for controlling drones because it is so inherently event driven. I recommend buying two additional batteries and cycling through them while testing. The batteries take hours to charge and then last for about 10 minutes of flying. The worst thing about hacking on drones compared to hacking on terrestrial robots is the short battery life. While testing the autonomous code, I crashed it repeatedly into walls, furniture, house plants, and guests, and it still flies great. The Parrot AR drone doesn’t fly quite as stably as the much more expensive (about $550) new Parrot Bebop 2 drone, but the Parrot AR comes with an excellent node.js client library called node-ar-drone that is perfect for building onto.Īnother advantage: the Parrot AR drone is very hard to break. The Parrot AR drone I used is hanging on the far left. You can buy one for $200 new, but so many people buy drones and never end up using them that a secondhand drone is a good option and available widely on eBay for $130 or less. Most of the drones with usable-looking APIs cost more than $1,000-a huge barrier to entry.īut after some research, I found the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 (see Figure 1), which I think is a clear choice for a fun, low-end, hackable drone. Most of the drone manufacturers claim to offer APIs, but there’s not an obvious winner in terms of a hobbyist ecosystem.

Garcia said in his June findings that more litigation was needed to determine whether Manson Jr. Under California law, when someone dies without a will, their children and grandchildren take priority over siblings when it comes to deciding beneficiaries. Nafoosi said he was making the decision based on a June 17-minute order by the judge in which Garcia found that Claasen had not presented any evidence rebutting Jason Freeman’s claim to be the son of the late Charles Manson Jr., who Freeman maintains was Manson’s son. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ruben Garcia granted a request by Dilair Nafoosi, an attorney for Nancy Claassen of Spokane, Washington, that Manson’s half-sibling’s petition is denied “without prejudice,” meaning it can be refiled later. The half-sister of the late Charles Manson Monday dropped out of what was a three-way contest to permanently run the late cult leader’s estate, whittling the field down to Manson’s self-professed grandson and a onetime Manson pen pal. Photo courtesy of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation #Charles manson jr seriesįollowing their look at the life and crimes of the Menendez brothers several months ago, ABC is adding another entry to their true crime documentary series with Truth and Lies: The Family Manson.Charles Manson’s prison photo was taken on Aug. ET on March 17, the two-hour documentary will explore the crimes that shocked the world in late 1969, when a charismatic cult leader manipulated his followers into killing seven people over two nights. Manson is still alive, serving a life sentence in a California state prison, and his crimes still resonate decades later. He left another kind of legacy, too: Manson fathered several children before he was arrested for his part in the Tate-LaBianca murders. Though there were several children born at Spahn Ranch (where the Manson family lived) whose paternity was unknown and a few people who have come forward claiming a biological connection to Manson, he has three officially confirmed sons. Manson had his first son, Charles Manson, Jr., with first wife Rosalie Jean Willis. The first, Charles Manson Jr., was born in 1956 to Manson and his first wife, Rosalie Jean Willis. Junior wound up taking his stepfather’s name and became Jay White. Even though he changed his moniker, Manson’s violent legacy haunted him. White committed suicide in the 1993and it was supposedly. Manson's second son, Charles Luther Manson, was born in 1956 to Manson and his second wife Leona Rae Stevens. Charles Luther Manson's whereabouts are unknown to this day. Manson's third son, Michael Brunner, was born in 1968 to Mary Brunner, a member of the Manson family.īrunner gave an interview in a KCBS special in 1993 where he explained that he felt no connection to his biological father. Brunner had been raised by his maternal grandparents, whom he loved deeply and considered to be his real parents though he remained in contact with his biological mother, their relationship wasn't really that of a typical mother and son. According to him, they were more like siblings. At the time, Brunner appeared to be doing well and even had a child of his own. Michael Brunner has steered clear of the public eye since, and next to nothing is known about him currently. However, one of Manson's grandsons did speak with CNN in 2012 about how the echo of Manson had affected his father. LOS ANGELES (CNS) - An attorney representing the temporary special administrator of Charles Mansons estate has filed what he says is the birth certificate of Charles Manson Jr. (who changed his name to Jay White before his death) left behind a son named Jason Freeman, who claimed that White had never quite been able to shake his heritage. and supplies proof he is the son of the late cult leader in the latest turn regarding who will permanently oversee the estate. "He just couldn't let it go," Freeman said. |
