    • @Nerdtronic
      @Nerdtronic  2 года назад +1

      I'll be posting the files soon. Been a busy week. They do helicopter down. One of the ideas for a future version is to have the wings folded back for the flight up to reduce air resistance and go higher, and have a small actuator to pull the props out for the flight down. The biggest reason they break (I've broken all of them now) is that the wings tear and then don’t work on the way down and it drops like a rock.

    how about adding an accelerometer function to flash ( or do something) at the highest point .

    • @Nerdtronic
      @Nerdtronic  2 года назад

      It sort of does because the acceleration changes at that point. So it turns white for a second. It’s weird because the accelerometer doesn’t give you speed but changes in speed. So you could probably track speed from that mathematically from that. But also it’s hard to see changes in the light 150 feet up. I do have an idea of what to do with 2.0 though. I could have the wings be folded in on the up flight so it’ll go higher. Then fold out when it reaches the highest point.
