I am Badr, 3rd year mechatronics student with a strong background in electronics and machine design, I'm eager to embark on a journey to learn how to make UAVs. However, I have limited knowledge in aerodynamics. I would
Swellpro and UrbanDrones.com, the creators of the original Splash Drone, are back on Kickstarter with the Splash Drone 3. (Full disclosure I'm helping them with marketing).
We'd like to invite everyone to check out the campaign and g
YANGDA Sky Whale Mini full electric VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) fixed-wing drone, the unique design of its type in the world, brings the cutting-edge technology innovation in the UAV industry. Aerodynamic design, 3 hours long endurance, wea
When my plane is in Auto mode and flies out of range of my RC gear (at about 1.2km), the failsafe is triggered. I have set my receiver to deliver a signal around 920 when it loses the Tx. This results in CIRCLE mode followed by RTL. However, looking
I and a friend are planning to build our own drone for this summer but have no experience in building one. We are looking to build a small, simple fixed-wing type drone. Any advice on which materials, motors, and other parts to use and wh
I have played around with fixed-wing drones before but am new to boats. I am looking to build a simple boat for the purpose of inspecting a heavily timbered section of river that it is hard to get a manned boat into and am looking for some s
I am glad to share my drone debugging experience with you all. Take Z series agriculture drone as an example, before the first use, it is necessary to link the remote control with the drone and set the parameters according to your operation inclu
With the development of technology, drones are widely used in Civil field, such as police officers, firefighters. And flight time has become one of the key factors to be considered.
X6120 as a mountable flight platform it is commonly used in training
Dear All, My name is Alfonso and two weeks ago i started my project to catamaran boat finalizated to hydrographic survey (first step only Single beam echo sounder and RTK Gps+datalogger) in lake and near shore. My configuration have only two motors a
If this is the wrong place to put this please redirect me to the proper board. My issue is trying to configure the control surfaces from the pixracer to the mission planner software (Qgroundcontrol). The servos are being hooked up to channels 1 a
Hello and thank you for allow me to share my experiences with you. I am selecting my components and it's my first quadcopter. After some research I have the following components:
Hello! I'm having some trouble detecting and calibrating the airspeed sensor for a fixed-wing UAV I'm building. I'm running a PixRacer flight controller.
When on the latest PX4 firmware (1.13.3), I get an error “[cal] calibration failed: airspeed” aft
I just recieved my copy of Unmanned Vehicles Handbook 2009 from the Shephard Group. Compared to the nearly $2000 Janes Defense wants for thiers, I think it is a good deal at $80.See pics below.
I think it should be possible to have one powerful motor in the center of the drone and distribute its power over the four rotors, the speed of every individual rotor could be varied via a tiny CVT
I think I could build the mechanical part all on my o
