Sensordrone

This seems exceptionally cool. Depending on the street price when they send it to market, I'm inclined to get it. They're going to have to add about 100 feet of graphics to that inforgraphic about all the stuff a smartphone does that used to require individual instruments.

Considering all the stuff they're doing with it, that doesn't sound unreasonable to me.

Oh, damn.

An accelerometer would be nice, but that's a quite a lot as is.

It looks like if you commit $175 now to the project, you'll get a sensordrone when (if) they hit the market.

Sensordrone...  I haz one :)

The sensors I have the ability to independently verify are pretty close, within a percent or two.

ambient temp, humidity, IR temp (I'm running a slight fever and it confirmed it), pressure, and altitude.

The others...  no clue with no tools to verify at hand:  illumination, precision gas (CO equivilent), proximity capacitance, internal battery voltage.

Haven't looked at any custom software yet.  Just using the sonsordrone control app.

Hi!

It looks like you might be falling at terminal velocity for an average-sized human body.

Can I find more results for your local area?
