I'm starting to build my own quadcopter. I'm a newbie in UAV world so I'm trying to understand all the concepts behind with this project.
I started from scratch building my own IMU and all the control (I don't have a RC system yet).
Here are my specs for now:
Control Board:
- Arduino Mega
- 3 LY530AL gyros
- 1 ADXL330 accelerometer
- 1 XBee Pro module
Mechanical parts:
- 4 AX 2308n 1100kv rotor
- 4 Flying 20A ESC with BEC
- 4 8x3.8 SF Regular props (well... I cannot found pusher props here so I will use the Jose Julio's idea to turn some degrees in front and rear rotors)
- 3000mAh 3S mystery battery
I'm sure I have miscalculated something but for now, if it hover with some stability and control I'll be happy.
Nothing is working for now, but I did some tests with rotors and ESCs (breaking one rotor in the process).
Here are some pics of the frame and mounting:
All the photos are posted on my profile and as soon as I get the other photos with my brother I'll upload than.
