[Swlug] Next online meeting

[Rhys Sage]

It seems that  barring something unforeseen, the school year starts on the 16th. Thus it'll probably be Christmas before I'm likely to be able to attend another online meeting.

This summer has been strange what with starting early due to a back injury and just now coming down with Covid. I've totally lost my sense of taste now who knows what next. The worst I can imagine having no taste is that I'd end up wearing vermilion trousers, turquoise shirt and lime green trainers!

The drone project is awaiting a set of metric gimlets so I can make nice metric sized holes in the PCB and mounting board in order to fasten the two together. I'm waiting for an Arduino voltage sensor to run with the Pi. It'd getting exciting - as though the main board will all be connected together and to a battery fairly soon. From there it's a quick jump and I'll have the servos reattached.

I renamed my Twitter account to @BritishTechGuru to align with my YouTube channel and GitHub account. 

With enough spare time I should get the code for level flight, turns and navigation sorted out over the next couple of months. Once that's done I'll have to work on payload activation and of course the airframe.
