It’s not quite a Parrot AR.Drone, but it’s what I can do in an afternoon with left a bunch of leftovers.

I’m trying to show off what WM can do apart from being a very good mobile email platform.

I’m using the HD2 with its accelerometer to send data about a heading to an Arduino via bluetooth. The Arduino then controls the motor speed, enabling turning and things. Currently, there’s a computer sat between the HD2 and the Arduino because I don’t have a serial bluetooth module. (The computer just takes the bluetooth data and dumps it down a USB cable).
