[rcpilot-devs] Introduction

[Scott P. <web...@ca...>]

Hi All,

I just wanted to introduce myself.  I'm Scott Pierce, majoring in Computer 
Science and I enjoy working with electronics and robotic projects.  I'm 
interested in the topic of Autonomous RC Aircraft.  I have been flying RC 
planes for about 13 years and am currently working on a quad rotor 
helicopter much like the Dragonfly (www.rctoys.com).  I have the 
circuit/code about 90% finished and have been working on designing the 
physical body for the helicopter for some time now.  Eventually I'd like to 
make the helicopter either autonomous or have the ability to send it serial 
data and command it to go to specific way-points and perform other 
miscellaneous maneuvers.  So, I figured I could apply what I've already 
learned and implemented in my own projects towards the RC Pilot project.  I 
can program PIC Micros in ASM and C, as well as programming PCs in VB, 
C/C++, and Java.  I also have a good background in CNC Machining and have 
access to and can program a CNC Mill, Lathe, Turret Punch, and Water 
Knife.  I look forward to working on this project with you.

Sincerely,
Scott Pierce
