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 the project so the rest of the system was designed to accommodate all the work done on the Location Sensing (via image segmentation), the swarm algorithm modelling and the output Read more

PCB Designer Life

Have you ever been thrown into the middle of ocean, and you don’t even know how to swim? Well, I have lived this experience, both literally and figuratively. This week it was the latter!

Gitlab Error 422

There are so many problems when running Gitlab behind a reverse proxy. However, the Error 422 one is the most common.

How to do that depends on each individual reverse proxy server used and is beyond the scope of this aside.

Editor Enhancement

In this week , I had to stop working in verilog for a while and get back to do some adjustment and modification to the project web interface.
