I want to share my journey of designing a drone in India, start to finish, hopefully for cheap and mainly built from recycled items to keep the costs down.
I started this project as a free-time project, but I would like to carry it on as a mainstream project with help from you guys.
My aim is to keep the costs down as I am only 13 years old and its a bit difficult for me to spend a lot of money on shipping,etc.
Plans:
- Delta-Wing airplane with Depron (something like this http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1173701)
- DIY Autopilot based on Arduino Mega 2560 (ADK) -- FreePilot Autopilot
- DIY IMU with AHRS *
- GPS navigation,waypoints,etc.
- Basic
