[Rustington] Talk on building and programming a drone

[Lisi Reisz]

May I ask those of you who are members of Hack Spaces or Maker Spaces or 
groups to publicise this talk to your members, who may well be interested.

Gareth Owenson (né Owen) will be giving a talk on Saturday at the PLUG meeting 
entitled  "Building and Programming Drones." 
http://www.portsmouth.lug.org.uk/talks/201611.html

Abstract:
“You've seen drones filming stunning video and perhaps even flying
acrobatics, now come and learn how to build and program them.  Being
someone who likes to learn by building things from  scratch, I'll tell you
about how I went from from knowing nothing about model aircraft five years
ago to building a drone from scratch, including programming a linux
autopilot and manufacturing PCBs - and all the mistakes (and injuries) I
had along the way.  We'll cover everything from flight control algorithms
to soldering components that are smaller than a millimetre. Perhaps we'll
even talk about drone hacking too :-)”

Gareth is an expert on security, so the hacking bit should be interesting. ;-)
