Time Response and Conclusions

Following on from the problems faced during the last weeks of the project, the attempts of hacking the toy quad-copter was abandoned to allow for the completion of the project in time. It was quite clear that the envisioned system would not be successfully completed within the time scope of Read more…

Troubleshooting Quadcopter Communication

Continuing on from the long-standing attempts at hacking the quadcopter remote communication, a few methods were used to find out exactly why the communication wouldn’t work. These methods and the resulting outcomes are discussed in this week’s post. Non-functional NRF24L01+ modules:  The 10 NRF modules acquired earlier seem to be Read more…

Communicating like a Quadcopter

Following last week’s information on the communication data coming from the Quadcopter remote, the next logical step was to replicate it so that the Arduino can be used to communicate the quadcopter instead. Some interesting findings led to a better understanding of the communication between this particular Remote Control and Read more…

Image Segmentation

Considering the issues with color detection method in the previous section method used for the image processing section of the project, the Image segmentation method was tested out. Considering that the tracking part of the system once the object is identified, the focus was given on understanding, implementing and testing Read more…

Quadcopter Remote Eavesdropping

Almost all of the week was spent trying to read the SPI bus on the Quadcopter remote control to try to understand as well as decipher the communication protocols and the reading addresses for the Quadcopter. There were some useful reading from the Quadcopter remote which are discussed in detail Read more…
