Tuesday, April 15th, 2008We got a 2nd prize a the leem cansat contest that took place on segovia this friday.
Our cansat reached a height of 550meters and we recovered it 2.1km away from the launch pad. We received telemetry (pressure, temp, accelerometers… ) during all the flight.
Gps didn’t work we should thanks to libelium for this horrible gps.
you can find the CDR with the technical description here

python for image processing
Thursday, October 25th, 2007I am learning a bit about python programming. This programming language is becoming a popular scripting program inside oder programs such us arcgis. The most surprising thing for me is it increasing use in windows machines.
So I have decided to learn python. I have started with some easy functions from the python image library.
First I will read a pixel.
import Image
im= Image.open(“mytif.ti”);
pixel= im.getPixel((44,33));
print “And the pixel is!!: “, pixel
