[General Topics] S0AndS0:
Indeed, indeed; gad that you brought that up, how about some of the "meta-materials" that shield certain frequencies (currently microwave radiation spectrum) ; I figure a different configuration would enable the "focusing" or re-direction of that EMF radiation to an antenna or coil? Could make a very light wait way of charging wireless/directionaly though currency induction methods, combined the "bat-man cape" into the same surfacing/skinning and potently we could have an aerofoil(sp?) that reacts to the conditions and amplifies the distance of broadcast... it be nice to have that "electro elastomeric dynamic shape props" especially if the micro-serfacing uses much the same shape as these types of flowers

to accelerate the air against the props outer casings, much like the fan powered "jet-packs", could generate a boost in thrust.

Ah, ok, yeah I looked at the screen that your working with, defiantly bigger than most of my pockets :D

Ubuntu touch is something that I've been keeping up with, very cool stuff their rolling out there, I just don't see any reason to completely replace the Android OS. Now if there where an SD-Bootable version, much like the SD-Bootable ROM's that are available, then I would be able to really get behind Ubuntu touch, as this would allow for a reboot back to Android function.

Heh, glad that I can inspire :D , oh and speaking of the script I've standardized much of the "on screen" text to be more with what is expected from other similar scripts, meaning that it'll look prettier when it runs. I still need info/links to the resources that you use for USB host mode and any links that you've found useful for controlling your Quadcopter and I'll add them into the script's exit message. Also we'll have to figure out how to install "headless" version of their software too more than likely, this is because after reading the article about the Raspberry Pi version that is what they had to do to get around latency.

No worries on the working thing, I'll have to work myself for a good stint too, I figure we all work to then work on what we live for. I'd just like to eventually combined the work and work that I live for subjects a little closer. No time like the soon to now to start in, I've dabbled here and there on a lot of platforms and OS's so Linux is just a shift of "dialect" for me, but I always come back to it too, and that's because of the support that one can get for the esoteric.

ah its just a disclaimer I've had to put in; as I've had a habit of "losing" people a few "train jumps" into a "thought chase" ;)

Update___(round 6pm myTime)

so after going over the script and making as "pretty"/functional I'll be going one last time though before switching scripting "gears" and porting that script for installing Java for the two Java related Development ports that I've had on the back burner for to long now :D ... I'll still be online most of tonight and much of tomorrow for helping and editing if you get up and running by then, furthermore, if you've already got Ubuntu Touch and a terminal window "app" then you may be able to use the script that I wrote on there as well; just "comment" out the bit for adding the "Wheeze" repo for Python (the whole block of code there) with "#" sines and it should run just fine on Ubuntu Touch as well... Let me know if you're unsure as to how to accomplish it and I'll make a "generic" one that should run on "most" mobile Linux Android platforms :)

oh and one other thought on the Quadcopter theoretical build idea that could be usable in the hear and now...

so the "arms" that come off the main body and attach to the propellers; why not wrap or shell the outside with a shape somewhat like that can quickly rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise independent from the rest of the arm, like a sleeve, and have them rotate much like alorons(sp?), or the flaps on the wings and or tail of a standard air craft. I believe that with a system like this you could achieve some very "grabby" maneuvers in the air because you could have it rotate each to allow for the least amount of drag along one access and then quickly shift both the "sleeves" and the props to a different access. Or even spin the entire Quadcopter as though it where itself a prop and position the "sleeves" as to cut into the air along the same access of desired direction. Provided that the structure or skeleton is sturdy enough to handle these complex G forces this system would allow for effectively a fifth propeller and have the added benofit of yet more control surfaces that you can code for interesting combos. Hope you can see what I'm purposing because if we go a few years into the future with the "bat-man cape" tech we could see flying squirrel hybrid Quadcopter...

Update 06202013 8:00am myTime- Good morning all,

I'm going to be doing one more "minor" edit to the Quadcopter dependency Install Script, first I found one typo in a file path that would have caused you an error; it's now fixed and shouldn't produce any errors from "file path doesn't exist" or "can't find that file" family of errors that one revives when a typo like that gets introduced. And second; I'll be reordering the structure of the entire script into three parts, 1. Downloads and Extracting, 2. Permission Fixing and Run Scripts for Install and linking/setup, 3. Download Extras; there will be yes/no prompts between each of the three parts. This is mainly because I can't stand not having something that doesn't look good wile it does it's thing if I can help it ;) oh and don't worry I'll be posting the current un-edited (aside from the typo I fixed) version in the very next post encase you haven't gotten to copy/past or back it up "locally" for yourself yet. I'll then take the un-edited one down again when the edits on Google Docs is completed so as to avoid confusion.

Note to anyone new reading this and bellow script:

This is experimental and currently untested

Use at your own risk and read page 10 of this thread to understand what this is to be used for

Thanks all, and happy hacking/moding :D

Update 11am myTime- edits nearly done, it will be much friendlier and much easier for anyone to edit. I'll also be throwing together a "template" script in the next few days for people to use for learning how to do what I'm doing but apply it to anything that they may want to install instead of following a guide every time... This one will be added to Section 5 when completed and will be amazing!! :D

Update 2pm myTime- so the edits weren't so minor but I got everything linked in such a way that you can edit any one part of the script by First running the Main Script, referred to internally as This_Script, then aborting the auto-install when prompted; and finely run the Script_Runner to give you the auto-install function again... think of it like an editable "EXE" hope I can blow your mind with this one :D
