Design Stages for Octocopter

In this post, I'll talk about some design stages for the Octocopter I'll build. Its a fairly small post as I'm researching how to develop with Eclipse and ARM chips.

Multicopter Design Research

Since my last post I've done some research on how to design and build a multi-copter. I couldn't think of any interesting pictures to put aside the text so its all just writing unfortunately.

Thermistor Calculations

So this post is more of a maths orientated post. It incorporates maths equations powered by mathjax and so needs a relatively modern browser to work. Mathjax is a tad slow to load as its hosted on their site as I can't add the code to Blogger.

So I've decided I would test out some thermistors that I had bought a while ago. I was looking round and found it hard to find a solid circuit diagram and I couldn't find any equation to get from the ADC value to the temperature. I eventually had the great idea of checking how the RAMPS circuit was done for the RepRap System.
