MicroPython on Kite
So I went to the beach the other day:
You can say MP has reached new hights

ha, we are the first two airborne micropythonistas.
Re: MicroPython on Kite
Hi,
nice. What exactly was the task of the board?
I was playing with the idea to control a little zeppelin with the pyboard. Small enough to let if float around in the entrance area of the university main building. I struggle to find light enough components (the pyboard is small and light enough), however, esp. the power source is challenging.

It's a custom board (camera) running MP, the goal was to record a short video, I used a 100mA lipo it didn't add much weight.torwag wrote:Hi,

Well, I'm still working on my autonomous submarine that runs MicroPython.iabdalkader wrote:I was thinking RC submarine : D

I don't think your board will fit inside though - the inside diameter of the shell is only 29mm.

The was somebody at PyCon 2014 in Montreal that had a largish blimp (20 feet long):torwag wrote:Hi,

not micropython, but that would have allowed a smaller blimp to be used.

Awesome! no it won't fit, it's about 26mmx34mmJonHylands wrote:Well, I'm still working on my autonomous submarine that runs MicroPython.iabdalkader wrote:I was thinking RC submarine : D

Re: MicroPython on Kite
Hmmm, if it is 26mm wide, it might... If it weren't for the SD card sticking out the side, it would fit.iabdalkader wrote:Awesome! no it won't fit, it's about 26mmx34mm
That implies I could possibly use it as a down-facing sensor, but not a recording device, unless I could find a flexible uSD extension cable.
I should be getting one from Tindie, hopefully soon, so I'll check it out and see how it fits.
