I've added an Arduino development board and a GPS receiver to the Drone. The Arduino reads the GPS data and holds the Navigation waypoint information. It communicates with the drone over the serial interface, telling it to go: forward, left, right ... and so on ... A tool on the drone acts as a standalone controller.
It is my goal to create a mainboard for 3 micro-controllers that can mimic the operation of a mid 80s Home Computer, along with a set of support libraries to exploit its features.

A short rundown of my experiences using the small T8 Mini CNC
for extrusion milling (engraving) of a PCB taken from a PDF image.
Very good results !
My review of the T8 Mini CNC can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfxAoFeHsv0

Direct ink to PCB CNC plotter
Part 2 available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPSfblHRvac
Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcXlak7RNV0
This is my attempt of putting some leftover hardware together
to build a plotter to help me create PCB designs from scratch.
It plots directly onto the copper board so all I then need to do is
etch it, and go !
My requirements are rather humble I must admit, 2.54mm raster
is ok for me, so is simplest SMD.
I have been using this a lot lately, and I must admit it works just
fine. For final PCBs I still use ordering services, but not as often
as I used to ...
Enjoy !
Edit:
It seems the the link to the python g-code GUI is dead,
I moved the ardGcodeWriter.py to the github repo down below, since
I seem to be maintaining it now. It can be found in the Extras directory.

Update 2016/04/18: Pushed updates to the firmware, please update to the latest release.
The aduino firmware used for this is available for
download via github. See here:
https://github.com/dherrendoerfer/uCNC_controller
It is published under GPLv2 and should be considered
beta quality.

The chip shortage is upon us - nothing can fix that for now.
So let's build a vintage style computer from parts that are available - and as little of them as possible. Impossible ? OpenSource ?
Update 5:
- 1st boards sent to developers
- fine tuning the software for speed and stability
Source files are available here: (but the repos may lag behind)
https://github.com/dherrendoerfer/bad6502
Hardware (PCB) files:

The Commander X16 project:

About the bad6502:
Presenting the bad6502, the 35 Dollar 6502 based computer that has needs no chips.
Features (subject to change):
- HDMI
- USB keyboard
- Wifi, Bluetooth
- 1+ MHz WDC65C02
- Embedded development platform
Ok, honestly: ... its a 65C02 with emulated hardware on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. But it's cheap and fun and available now. Still fiddling with the hard and software a lot.
More soon !

Update video number 9: fixing the alignment of the X axis.
I bought the cheapest 80W laser on eBay. In just 10 days I went from order to a completed setup. I even got the cheapest water chiller in that time too.
I documented every day (with an update) of my quest to put the cheapest 80W laser on eBay to work. I reported on the pros and cons and on any additional purchases required.
It was a lot of fun, and some hard work too !
