This is somehow surprisingly fun, a good game to play with kids.

I've always wanted something to carry my fishing gear on the jetty, can this do that?
The blog doesn't provide enough details, if someone can shed light on how the pointing action gets translated to the lower level robot movement commands, that would be great!

I needed it!

Ask HN: Are interview questions getting harder?

In our daily work, we rely more and more on AI for common tasks, but interviews largely haven't changed much -- interviewers won't trust someone who can only use AI to write code after all. But without the natural training from day to day work, it's easy to get stumbled on some basic details during interviews. Anyone sharing the similar experiences?

It's sad to see drones being used in wars! But maybe the way to combat that is to power everyone with it, then nobody dare to step out to do anything sketchy with it like nuclear weapons.

Thank you mate! It's a iterative process over quite a few years as a side project. Things mostly come by one by one.

Thank you mate!

You should be able to use the controller calibrator to calibrate a regular video game controller and use it.

Only use the upper half of the left stick per the spring issue folks mentioned above.

You can also use your keyboard or the virtual joystick if you are on a touch screen!
There are a million ways this can turn into a fireball, dont' try it, at least don't put it at home.

Reminds of me of tools like https://huu.la, the main difference is newer generations focuses on utilizing LLM to map design to code, versus the older generations focus on using WYSWYG tooling to edit the page directly.

WSL is the main reason I switched from Mac/Linux to Windows two years ago. Excited to see this move!
Re:Engine Sound Simulator on Wednesday July 03, 2024 @01:38PM (#40868220)
Anyone know good tutorials for simulating drone/airplane propeller sound?
Absolutely. Nowadays sims get more and more realistic and you can definitely learn a lot from them and transfer a big chunk of the learning to real drones.
Definitely agree. FPVSIM allows for PID tuning as well. You can learn a lot on how they affect drone dynamics by playing with the PID values once you know the basics of PID algorithm.
Nice! Glad you liked it. Try a webkit based browser instead like Chrome/Safari/Edge, I'm not sure how much WebGL optimization firefox carries.
You can play FPVSIM web simulator on any devices with a Chrome/Safari/Edge browsers. Which means - Windows/OSX/Linux/Chromebook/Android/iOS etc.
+1 on the controllers resolution part. Just add to it, gamepads usually do things like dynamic frame rate for power saving reasons, these features are not the good if you do fly drones for competitions. Good to get a OpenTX/EdgeTX based controllers, which offers 1Khz frame rate in newer versions.
Checkout Jumper too, they are the biggest competitor of radiomaster, might offer better price with similar quality.
Sorry, this tutorial is meant to be played with the on-screen virtual joystick. Not many people have radios lying around after all.
