The Embedded Linux Conference (ELC) is the premier vendor-neutral technical conference for companies and developers using Linux in embedded products. This conference, now in its 9th year, has the largest collection of sessions dedicated exclusively to embedded Linux and embedded Linux developers. ELC is embedded Linux experts talking about solutions to your embedded Linux problems. ELC consists of 3 days of presentations, tutorials and Bird-of-a-Feather sessions. There are over 50 sessions to choose from, on a wide variety of topics.
Always Innovating has announced a new product, the MeCam (www.alwaysinnovating.com/products/mecam.htm), a self video nano copter to point-and-shoot yourself. The MeCam launches from the palm of a hand and hovers instantly. This talk will review the lessons learned during the design of this product:
* hardware â CPU: the choice and the different trade-offs involved with this selection.
* hardware â sensors: the complete list of the 14 sensors, their advantages and drawbacks.
* software â core: the architecture of the Linux based system and the key challenges.
* software â stabilization algorithm: the experience during the tuning of the different algorithms
participating to the self hovering.
This talk targets developer with good expertise in both hardware and software. No deep knowledge in a specific field is mandatory but serious understanding of ARM and the Linux kernel is a plus.
