Closing thoughts (medical care for those without homes)

Lear 45 Home Cockpit Flight Simulator- Live

This week I was able to join the Adafruit Live Show called Show and Tell via G+ hangouts.  Each week they do great live broadcasts for all of us “makers” and hobbyists.

As I had just done some work to the flight simulator this week and finally got a bunch of systems back online (it runs 5 PCs and several I/O boards + Arduinos) I thought I’d share it live.

Here is my appearance:

And here is some more comments from Phil and LadyAda on the Ask and Engineer Live show later that night:

 

Here is my latest YouTube update video on the simulator:

Cheers

Eric was live on Adafruit Show and Tell!

Last week I was lucky enough to join the Adafruit Show and Tell live show.  If you haven’t seen it before- each week Adafruit hosts multiple live shows and G+ hangout for makers, inventors and hobbyists. I was even lucky enough to become the thumbnail for their video:

If you didn’t catch the video you can see it here:

As well during the following Adafruit Ask an Engineer show LadyAda (Limor) mentioned the projects in a quick recap here:

 

High Altitude Balloon Flight Video is Complete!

Finally after some delay I was able to compile the 20+ Gigs of video into an under 5 minute flight.  We could not have been happier with the results despite having simultaneous dual system tracking failure and missing our target altitude by about 20,000 feet.

All systems were recovered and can be re-used along with our newly acquired knowledge.  The next flight will be even better.

Enjoy!
