      No. The reason it works so well in a fixed environment is because it’s easy for a computer to get a precise location of the ball when there are several cameras finding it.
      For a drone hoop, it would have to be aware of its fans and somehow be able to tell a ball apart from a leaf, a person, or a baby’s head. It would also have to know how to get to exactly that spot all on its own, which drones are good at doing if you’ve told it exactly where to go in advance, but I doubt it would be so easy for it to do on the go in an unprepared environment.

      ML expert here. Being able to code decent algorithms to get the feedback fast enough in order to have time to move the hoop and saying it could potentially do it twice is already a feat in itself. Not everyone knows how to code it AND code it efficiently enough so it's fast AND do it in a timely fashion.

If you use the second derivative you shrink the data you are looking for to one number 9.8 m/s2.

      @The Engineering Mindset, many, many years ago, on the first day of my Mechanical Engineering degree, the Tutor Professor Dr Patrick McAdam asked "What is Engineering?" The response from the students related to "science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures." He asked again..... "In its most basic form, What is Engineering?" There was silence. Until he said *"Engineering is problem solving!"* then he expanded on his statement...."From the moment that Homo Sapiens first used tools, they've been looking for ways and making a better tool to do the job, this is Engineering! Today with more complex problems, the Engineers need to find more complex and elegant solutions to the problems, but it's still the same Problem Solving!"

      For simpler boards it works ok. The biggest thing that helps is finding good copper boards to start. Cheap boards delaminate easily. Also making the spacing larger so there is more of each trace, also helps. Again, simple boards are good candidates. Yes. I've done it. ~P

    • @volkanarslan9451
      @volkanarslan9451 2 года назад +24

      It's probably because height diferences around the copper plate. At 0.1 mm scale even the slightest bent make huge height difference. U should take bunch of height measure at bunch of places and make a curved path for ur cut with this readings. There is a already programs to do that easily.

    • @bubalexander27
      @bubalexander27 2 года назад +9

      As previously mentioned, it’s best for simple boards. Start with a single layer board with thick traces/pads. Use a thick pcb material so you can have deeper cuts for cleaner routing. Always visually check the cuts for leftover copper before powering on the board.
      Another option is to order a “barebones” board from someone like “advanced circuits”. They make some good stuff for hobbyists.
