The AVA Flight Computer 

U watch bps space?? You 2 are awesome it’s cool y’all know about eachother

You're both awesome channels, I was about to watch your spider silk video!

This is what happens when "somebody who went to film school" learns engineering.

Didn't expect to meet you here

@@jeffvader811 SAME

Most professionals were self taught. They just happened to go school at some time during their learning process (usually in the middle) and had to do most of their learning in the evenings, in the weekends, in the holidays or when they were blowing off class...

@@peterfireflylund that's my story I'm in 9th so I've to study theoretical physics on my own coz it's not taught in schools..I have a book RU-vid n ofc Google that's enough🌚🌚

@@tanmaydeshmukh3517 best of luck to you! Don’t skimp on the math. Complex analysis, linear algebra, and differential equations are *everything*! :) Lots of the “self taught” people actually did go through formal education and may even have doctorates. Most of their actual learning was self directed, though. The official diplomas and the connections from a university make things a lot easier. Very few people can be Ramanujan and be recruited to Cambridge on the basis of their own research. If you are from India, going through IIT or similar will probably be the easiest and safest path for you. Learn to program as well. You can do so much with Python and Numpy...

late to the partry, but before the people later... Um, idk how to really say it in a way that people will listen. it's like Rick: School isn't a place for smart people. not that people that go to school are all not smart, but smart is not what you become by attending. you become trained. it's not the same. when you're smart, you LEARN things. when you're trained, you do what you're told. Stay in school, smart people can learn from it. just don't fall into the mental trap of thinking it's teaching what you need. it's teaching what it wants you to know. if you have passion and dreams, that will really bother/drive you. it's not evil(probably) it's just the way it IS.

maybe it was understood maybe not, but the point being that if you REALLY wanna learn stuff, you're gonna have to do the legwork yourself. i mean, let's be real, he's not starting from zero in any of the fields necessary... but he is ahead. this is one of many strong reasons open source is fought for.

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

@@Chezburger8 listen ive done a lot of complex stuff but you made my brain hurt.

Y'all are now on a watchlist for using the term missile instead of rocket lol

Shh!! It's not a missile! It's an advanced guided, rocket propelled UAV!

@@Chezburger8 I see your a wikipedia editor as well.

...except for the part where one needs a public audience to justify it.

Take a look at the Apple II motherboard. And the original Apple Macintosh motherboard. Beautiful.

If it looks good, it flies good. Dont undervalue aesthetics which for sure has its roots within the *millions of years* of observation.

It is even symmetrical, looks better than the Arduino UNO board tho

Reminds me of the Marble Machine X process

People often don't realize it's actually a fairly technically orientated degree. Aidan Millward is another guy in the UK who has got something similar and it is surprising what his channel is about.

Ropponmatsu2 I don’t care what music school you went to, “quaternion non-linear control systems” aren’t on the syllabus.

@@BradyBegeman Audio engineering (which Joe did iirc) does include an awful lot of signal processing which is the backbone for most control systems. It's not a degree in aerospace, but it's a relevant background.

I don;t doubt it...But your point is what? I tried to explain it probably does include concepts like feedback, interference, and being able to solder together highly detailed, electrical connections. I've done work with high powered rockets and space access and I have no qualifications either. “quaternion non-linear control systems” are probably not relevant at this level that he is working at - Landing model rockets - and that is why this is interesting.

Wow

you will have one day

That's kind of what hes referring to, he did alot of "extra" work using 3 microcontrollers instead of just using something like a broadcom arm chip with potentially 100s of times the processing power, taking up less space, being easier to design the traces in the board and more. But at the end of the day its a hobby so he can do whatever floats his boat.

Perhaps one day a student will share the practical experience while you taking care the literature and novel theories, this is something common to happen here

using only AVA

Hopeful for that!!😍

It wouldn't be a model but he has said he wants to land something on the moon

I hope that happens too

With this size of rocket. It's possible but it would need boosters to get into orbit and for way to Mars it would need ion engine that doesn't exist, but maybe in future.

Oh dear... I had no idea, I would have picked a different name! Certainly didn't mean to copy it 🤦

Same thought here. I remember building quads when you had to rip the guts out of Wii remotes to get your sensors and such then cobble everything together and spend a long time tuning the PIDs manually. Within a few short years commercial off the shelf offerings were essentially plug and play at all scales.

Why not simply use a matek F7 board XD

@@marco9409 that's actually a pretty valid question.

​@@marco9409 I would suggest the SP Racing H7 extreme, and strip betaflight leaving the filters, PID control, blackbox and other useful things.

Started with simple PID, simple drones e.g. mikrokopter, 8 bit atmega and ends in Ukaine where DJI carrier and drop missiles.

Yaad man? Lol

@@thebirdhasbeencharged ?

@@invisibleimpostor7311 where you from? The Caribbean?

@@thebirdhasbeencharged I don't know...

Nicholas Rehm =O Will your FC be able to work with the AVA for your projects?

you also do great stuff bro. Keep it up.

He writes like 3 new songs for each video

He uploaded this 1 minute before my google meet class started 😂

Same lol

Wot? Wdym?

Lol exactly what I was thinking

And now primitive kits to print your own PCBs at home, or office.

If you're a decent plumber, and good at math, and don't mind actually reading the instructions, you should excel! Go forth and conquer! 😎✌️

Porter Campbell lmao

yeah I had that same thought, he really should have put a YET in there

I don't think he can sell the software IATA restrictions

And black wire on data instead of ground 😔

As he said: "there are better options".

@@falconidaes lmao

That's a UARR connection

And he had to mount the connector the wrong way around, whichmakes it a pain in the a** to remove that cable, as you can't reach the latch with your finger.

And one of them is swapped with the ground line (black wire).

@@vannoo67 to be fair cable color doesn't mean anything other than ease of maintenance, so is the silkscreen.

@@thomasesr But to also be fair - they are both mistakes.

@@vannoo67 also, to be even fairer. I know, that is why I mentioned the silk screen as well.

Every engineer knows that RX and TX are ALWAYS swapped, it is a serial Murphys law...

So how long did it took? And kindly mention some good resources

i rewatched that it’s fun seeing not so serious joe

What?

@Lemon Pasta in music

Embedded dev is dead. Nowadays it's supposedly about knowing how to parse XMPP stanzas and fiddling with device tree files on a Raspberry Pi. Oh, and about squandering about a hundred or so instructions at a time on a DigitalWrite that can be done in one.

No better sound than starting rocket

Btw, I love your approach to model rocketry and making them as advanced as the real ones!
