- The Blimpduino kit by Chris Anderson of Wired Magazine, and Jordi Munoz of DIY Drones, is a very low-cost, open source, autonomous blimp. It consists of an Arduino-based blimp controller board with onboard infrared and ultrasonic sensors and an interface for an optional RC mode, a simple gondola with two vectoring (tilting) differential thrusters, and ground-based infrared beacon. Assembly is required, including soldering.
