Attendance is free, so anyone is free to come learn about it! The quads are going to be controlled by pre-built flight controllers that are based on similar chips to Arduinos, but we won't be really changing the firmware on them. We will be going over the RF and accelerometer stuff, though, so hopefully it's all useful information!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks all!</div><div class="">Tyler<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue Dec 30 2014 at 5:54:15 AM Nolan Cash <<a href="mailto:r48811@gmail.com" class="">r48811@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr" class="">Im assuming they will be controlled by arduinos?

If its cool I'd like to sit in the back of the class and take notes, mainly about the RF stuff, and use of accloromitors. </p>
