A web developer living in Northern VA. I do hobbyist projects all the time, co-founder of the Nova Labs makerspace in Reston, VA. I live to make!
Experienced with an SM450 quadcopter and Ardupilot. Heavy experience in embedded electronics, general mechanics and systems manufacturing.
Up until 2007, I flew electric and nitro RC planes. Created some custom delta wing profiles with a hotwire. But I put that on hold while life interrupted. I'm starting to pull my head out of the sand an experience the hobbyist equipment available.
Meet and greets, demonstrations, competitions, and BUILD GROUPS! Maybe lectures on aspects of copter types - like Arducopter software, building a frame, tailoring the electronics, batteries, etc.

Great meeting you last night Ted and hanging around the woodshop! Looking forward to Arduino.
Thank you ! Looking forward to meet you guys !
Hi Ted,
I will plan on attending the Arduino group meeting tomorrow. I would really enjoy helping out anyone who needs advice on Arduino/embedde
d projects. I had a great time at the open house. Lots of interesting conversations that got me excited to get involved and get some of the projects that have been bouncing around in my head out into the physical world.

Ted, quick question, trying to make a DC to DC power supply for my laptop. Essentially car charger for my laptop. What is best and easy to output 19.5v 3.34a? Thinking some IC should be able to do this but I would like 3rd person opinion. Thanks.
Hi Ted,
thanks: I'll be out of town until Memorial Day.... and then I hope to take the first available intro FabLab class..... So June's looking good for me to get over to join the group.

Thanks for the greeting to DC/MD/VA Robotics group! We are looking forward to the meetup next Saturday!
Hello Ted. Thanks for the greeting to NOVA Makers. I am looking forward to getting involve.
Your pictures are getting better with the passage of time.
Of course, adding a beautiful lady certainly doesn't hurt.
Oh yeah, and "Welcome to Nova Labs!" :-)
