MrSymondavis is known as Symon [owner of AR.Drone-Flyers.com] to many of us. He has an ideas on Parrot AR.Drone lighting and presents them in this video. Nice job Symon.
Lighting additions [mods] seem to be one of the more popular changes to the AR.Drone. Adding an external camera is also frequently seen. Of course, Fred and I have our idea also. We will have another video up soon, thanks to Paul Evans. That will be followed by our prototypes. Remember, we want to know your interest in our idea of “Heli” lighting for the drone. The best to the modelers. The drone is nifty for making it your own. |
We [Paul—the builder, Fred, and me—Jim] all on the same page. Sometimes communicating via e-mail over thousands of miles and multiple time zones can allow an important matter to be missed. My assumption of no malice is a valid one. Okay, we have the video back. I said the horse is out of the barn.
Well, that is true and we cannot change that. BTW, that is a legal term. But, guess what, we have more than one horse and others did not get out. That means we have added features for this unique lighting system that we [and we hope you] will clamor over. As I say, please stay tuned…
The video is now PRIVATE. I wish I knew why and could explain it. I know that over 30 views of “our” horse [the video embedded in my last article] were seen as I went to bed just after midnight EST. Now, the horse cannot be seen. I’m trying to understand the logic of that. Anyway, I expect the matter to be resolved later today. I’m hoping your appetite has been whetted and you are interested in following the development of this project by Fred [AR.Drone Flyer Toppntch] and myself.

So, what does Silk’s new turn signals & emergency/hazard flashers and her brake lights look like? Will Fargo’s lights look the same? Here is the video that will answer those questions. The lighting for Fargo is the same, except it will be positioned higher [on top of the cage]. Drivers will essentially see the same. My reference to front & rear brake in the video is incorrect [I had my quad on my mind.]. The left brake stops the left wheel and the right brake the right wheel [both front wheels on a tadpole trike]. Actuating either lever turns the brake lights on. Sorry!
Description as posted on YouTube:
This video shows a recumbent trike with running lights [amber front & red rear], plus lights used as turn signals and brake lights. The lightning is by DiNotte. Here we have a combination of 300L [running lights] on low steady and 140L for the turn signals and brake lights. Activating both turn signal at the same time functions as emergency/hazard flashers. Except for the coat of the lights [which I have accumulate over time]. it is a low-cost solution that uses bright lights. The 140L brake lights are on their brightest setting. The turn signal/emergency flasher is on the slowest flash. Details are in my blog at http://cyclingexperiences.com/
