Yet another hackerspace.gr event!

Quadrotor

Event coordinator for this Wednesday is: Acinonyx

don't forget to check out the Project Page if you already haven't...

Moved forward on sockets with a basic client - server example made and presented by acynonix
Decided to use IP/UDP stack for control communication
Made network latency tests that gave an average of 16ms over 3 hops in our lan
Decided to abolish the, now redundant, identifying 2 bits used for serial communication

Seems like we'll be going forward with C/C++ after all. Oh well :) ~ skmp
