Well I've been doing lots of code recently, but very little of it would appeal to PGD... All C/C++ and after 2 weeks of having to wake up, work and go to sleep to C's quirks, tantrums, and other such "specialities" my head feels like its about to explode...
So, whats all the sinning for? Well, the project relies on code as much as it does completely insane people - an attempt to develop and build a tiltrotor UAV with VTOL capabilities. Along the lines of a V22 Osprey but with a lot of design changes. Of course, the arduino's AVR chips just happen to only play 'nice' with the worst dialect of C in the history of the universe (as far as I know)...
As development presses on and costs start to push the current budget a site of data and goodies as well as donations and maybe even sponsor gear might be an eventuality... For now, its back to the team debate as to why the planes in C and everything else in pascal...
