ABOUT THE IDEA

The main objective of this idea is to improve air safety and avoid plane accidents and pilot errors by adding and integrating Intel Edison to aerospace industry.

Nowadays, most of plane accidents are caused by pilots(such as sabotage and suicide, like Germanwings 9525 crash) or by mechanical and maintenance problems.So I thought, why not to use Intel Edison to solve this problem?

My idea is to introduce Intel Edison to aerospace industry and make sure every plane has an integrated system that avoids pilot suicide and mechanical problems.The main role of Intel Edison is to communicate with air traffic control and provide the status of the plane, such as:

   >Gas Tank status, if it's losing gas

    >Doors status, if they are well closed

    >Flaps status

    >Motor status

    Etc..........

By providing this data, air traffic control can make sure the plane is going to arrive safely to it's destination without any mechanical problems.Intel Edison also saves time when checking the plane before flying, as it has access to all the mechanical parts.

And finally, the most important thing Intel Edison can do is control the plane.

Yes, that's possible, a tiny computer can manage and control the plane without the assistance of a pilot.With Intel Edison we can avoid suicide pilots by changing the flight mode to automatic, so a pilot located at ground station can manage and control the plane by communicating with Intel Edison.In this case, Intel Edison would close all doors located in the plane to avoid any suicide attacks.

Intel Edison would also work as a Black Box, by sending data to ground station every "X" seconds.

Intel Edison would be a simple aluminium box connected to every electronic and mechanical component located in the plane, and it would analyze all the data provided by the different sensors located around the aircraft, and finally send that data to ground station.Intel Edison would also have:

  >a GPS system

   >a long life battery(8000mAh) system

   >a voice recorder system

   >a video recorder system

All those systems would be controled by Intel Edison

I'd love to build the IoT door bell

I like to Build a controller with self-standing managed web interface "https web interface (strong encryption)" to get the static air flow, temperature, pressure and humidity and dedicated amp draw calculations to set PID loop to self-adjust for weather change or run PID loop controller to output and adjust the differences required to run industrial controls like compressors, variable fan drives and heat strips or humidifiers / economizers dampers to set proper enthalpy of the environment to save energy. This would be an addition to small brain to RTU package unit which has most of the systems already built in but some more sensors to feedback to Brain that would either send alarms if something is out of wack like broken fan belts or over-draw of components like compressors or temperatures or many other sensors.

Lastly, it should be able to communicate back to host over BACnet or Lon network via Modbus or ethernet to host and be able to receive commands to change or test set rules and conditions in realtime.

Would love to build an Intel Edison garage monitoring and alert system as showcased on Instructables!

I HAVE A PATENT ON A DEVICE, CALLED "COOKING IN A BOX IN AIR", YES A CARDBOARD BOX OR ANY CONTAINER CAPABLE OF HOLDING THE CONTROLLED HEAT FROM A MODIFIED SPACE HEATER. THE RANGE OF TEMPERATURE CAN BE VARIED BETWEEN 100 DEGREES TO 200 DEGREES, ALL TEMPERATURES BETWEEN THOSE LIMITS WHICH IS CAPABLE OF COOKING MOST FOODS. ABOVE 200 DEGREES IS ACCOMPLISHED WITH A CONVENTIONAL OVEN AND NOT PART OF THIS DESIGN.

THIS IS A SLOW COOKING DEVICE THAT USES THE CLASSIC HEATING CURVES AND A TEMPERATURE SENSOR . THE DEVICE "COOKS TO THE TEMPERATURE" AND DOES NOT OVERCOOK AS A CONVENTIONAL OVEN DOES.

THE CARDBOARD BOX HAS A KINDLING TEMPERATURE OF 800 DEGREES.

THE PRODUCT IS "COOKED IN A PLASTIC BAG VOID OF AS MUCH AIR AS POSSIBLE, LIKE A TURKEY COMES IN A BAG THAT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR HEATING TO THE TEMPERATURES STATED ABOVE.

THE ROUTINE IS TO BUY THE PRODUCT COVER IT WITH THE BOX AND HEAT TO THE DESIRED TEMPERATURE.

THE SOFTWARE IS WRITTEN IN ARDINO CODE FOR THE 328 MICRO PROCESSOR

THE TEMPERATURE IS SELECTED WITH 3 PUSHWHEELS AND CAN BE CELICUS OR FARIENHEIT.

THE RESULT IS A STEAK OR OTHER FOOD COOKED THROUGHOUT TO A TEMPERATURE OF YOUR CHOOSING.

I intend to provide emergency communications interface for Amature radio repeater systems and link to the Internet and or other radio systems to provide interoperability during disasters locally or nationwide.

I would like to use an intel Edison to build an intelligent auto follow spot lighting system by combining ultra-sonic depth sensing, Lidar and visual object tracking with a simple voice command system to be able to seamlessly track a person and follow them with an intelligent moving head light.

I would use Intel Edison to develop a Edicacional System.

I got started on electronic engineering to make gadgets and props at comic conventions. I afterwards got into robotics for the same reason, to make a robot of a wolf from an anime. So far, I've yet to make that one but have made several other robots, from home security that target's faces when activated and emails them to me; to intelligent costume wings.

I would use this for a project I've been designing for about two years, but have just recently found a reliable friend for a wielder: I plan to make an animal mech inspired by Zoids, a smaller model that you can ride inside. I have had the wiring and control panel schematics for a while, and started some of the programming, but I've lacked enough power to program things how I want them to be.

I've been using a RasPi with an Arduino to control and collect system information, but the Arduino can only read and send one analog stream at once, unlike the PixAxe which I could stream multiple sources from, but am limited to 4 inputs per board. I also plan to connect it to screens for targeting programs, to be able to shoot airsoft or other projectiles. Another problem I face with my current systems is that the current boards may not be powerful enough to properly coordinate sensors fast enough to properly identify and target by quadrants, as I plan to install a voice-command system for targeting at some point. Bottom line is, programming is more limited on these boards, with mostly only Python easily accessible on one, and Basic on the other.

Part of the reason for me starting to build this is because I have an undying love for Zoids and want to ride in one. I wanted to make a multiplayer Zoids fan game, but am building one inspired by it instead as a tribute in a sense, because of copyright; and the mech I make will be in that game. I'm heavily tied into several local fan groups, including the Louisiana Airship and Steampunk Society (LASS), the Star Wars Rebel Legion, and a few others; if all goes as planned with this, it could change the standard for props and even mechs in this area, which is starting to grow in popularity.

Also, Element14 will be listed as a contributor for this project anywhere relevant, including at conventions and on the local community site for these things, once that site's relaunch is complete.

My idea is an Edison as central IoT hub which communicates across different wireless and wired standards (433MHz sensors, Z-Wave, ZigBee, 868Mhz, 2.4Ghz) and is scalable to future standards (LoRa, Simple cell, NB-LTE, ...)
