Our first prototype printed boards for the hex flier motor controllers / vehicle legs just came in. This is the first batch of printed hardware we’ve had in a while – a much more common experience several years ago when we were working on a prototype Mars weather station. More about these when they get populated and tested…
We’ve mentioned our implementation of Perlin simplex noise in GLSL in a couple of prior posts – this is now sometimes also referred to as “Ashima noise.” The paper describing the noise function was just published in the Journal of Graphics Tools. The paper is available in its final aesthetic form at the publisher’s website. A preproduction version (with the same informational content) is available from the arXiv.org site. The code is available via github .
