      ML expert here. Being able to code decent algorithms to get the feedback fast enough in order to have time to move the hoop and saying it could potentially do it twice is already a feat in itself. Not everyone knows how to code it AND code it efficiently enough so it's fast AND do it in a timely fashion.

      No. The reason it works so well in a fixed environment is because it’s easy for a computer to get a precise location of the ball when there are several cameras finding it.
      For a drone hoop, it would have to be aware of its fans and somehow be able to tell a ball apart from a leaf, a person, or a baby’s head. It would also have to know how to get to exactly that spot all on its own, which drones are good at doing if you’ve told it exactly where to go in advance, but I doubt it would be so easy for it to do on the go in an unprepared environment.

If you use the second derivative you shrink the data you are looking for to one number 9.8 m/s2. And a computer can just derive the data twice and then look for the 9.8 number much faster than a computer looking for a specific sloped line in all the random movements.

      It's probably because height diferences around the copper plate. At 0.1 mm scale even the slightest bent make huge height difference. U should take bunch of height measure at bunch of places and make a curved path for ur cut with this readings. There is a already programs to do that easily.

    • @bubalexander27
      @bubalexander27 Рік тому +9

      As previously mentioned, it’s best for simple boards. Start with a single layer board with thick traces/pads. Use a thick pcb material so you can have deeper cuts for cleaner routing. Always visually check the cuts for leftover copper before powering on the board.
      Another option is to order a “barebones” board from someone like “advanced circuits”. They make some good stuff for hobbyists.

      @@mydearriley from what I can tell he's quite damn talented. However, it seems crazy that he can achieve all this within the span of a month, including recording, editing, and animating all the footage by himself. Either he's insanely dedicated and spends every waking minute on his projects, or maybe he might have some people to help him with some of the workload. I have until now and would like to continue to believe that he does this completely solo, but some fellow named Freelectron in the comments of this video planted tiny seeds of doubt in my mind: "i think you will find he most definately has a team, and serious funds. kids straight out of college cant afford 500k worshops and houses and land to put it all on. use your deductive reasoning. he has help. lots of it."
