Would there be interest in a UAV-related hackathon at YAPC::NA this year?
I know the price is a barrier to entry for a lot of people, so I'm hoping
we can get a few people with AR.Drones to bring theirs in and let others
play with them.

Yes...  I don't have the budget now to purchase, but I'm interested in at
least attending.

Forgive my ignorance but will any of the drones listed at
http://ardrone2.parrot.com/ work with your module?

Thanks
Robert

Yes, all version 2 AR.Drones should work--they're same hardware with
different coloring and accessories.  I haven't tested with version 1 (which
aren't sold new anymore), but I expect the basic controls will work.  The
version 1 video stream definitely *won't* work.

Subject: [Hardware-pm] Net::GPSD3 issue
Message-ID: <CAO3DSnfuYzn421r1G+0Dw-vs1Am0yvWPTAqHoS1Ug5LdPis5Ug@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,
I want to write a simple app that polls gpsd version 3 server for the
current lat and longitude, etc.  net::gpsd3 is supposed to be able to
provide this service, but it doesn't return anything valid.  (Can't call
method sky on an undefined variable...). However, when I use the provided
command line clients (cgps) it works fine, and it uses the gpsd3 protocol
for that information.  Any clues on how to proceed?
Thanks!
Zak

Zak,
I don't use gpsd any more and have not been following it recently.? I do know when I was last working with it the poll did not work very well.? The poll required another client to be connected at all times to really work or required gpsd to be started with the "always run" flag.? 
?
If you send me your code (excerpt) and versions, I can set up testing.
Thanks,
Mike
