How to Make a Drone / UAV - Lesson 1: Terminology

Let's Make Robots Tutorials

@Anand Certainly. Look up “Tandem rotor designs” and “Coaxial rotor designs”.

418

can you send the whole lesson on how to make a drone to my email address at adenirandavid [email protected]

im making a drone for a school project how do i do it landon

420

@Adeniran lDavid We do not have these lessons in PDF or ZIP format - they are only available online.

421

@landon If you want to design and build it yourself, this series of articles should help. If you don’t have the time to learn the principles, then opt for a kit.

422

Hi,are you able to sale drones that can be used for advertising?how much does it cost

423

@Zike soko We do not offer drones specifically for advertising, nor are there specific ways to do so. You would need to figure out how you would want to advertise considering large surfaces like a poster would cause the drone to be unstable in winds.

424

Hi very interesting courses, may we use them as a base for a creating course on building UAv’s translated in Dutch ?

425

@Marc Certainly, but it’s always good practice to pay tribute to the source.

426

I want to build a drone as my final year project in school,so I would want u to assist me please

427

@Vivian Unfortunately we cannot offer mentoring - you will need to learn as much as possible, and perhaps find someone locally like a teacher or even fellow student who can help.

428

Thanks for the reply concerning using this course, sure I will mention robotshop.com more than once as a reference and a shop to buy.
Regards,
Marc

I just want to build the simplest type of drone without a camera,just the one that can fly. i need your guide please. thanks

@Ogban Ethothi You need to determine if you want to build a kit or custom design one. If you want to assemble a kit, we offer many here: https://www.robotshop.com/en/uav-drone-kits.html If you want to design your own, that is beyond the services we offer.

Hi Sir,
Can we make drone with single actuator.if possible, What all the required parts and motor power, camera with HD quality.
this is my requirement. Is it possible to build a drone with this features.

432

@srinivas With just one actuator, you could have two counter-rotating propellers, but that does not give any control over direction in x and y. Normally you need at least one actuator per motion (x,y,z).

433

Hello Sir,
I am interested in making a motion controlled quadcopter with the MPU6050 in my hand. But I am facing a problem with how to transmit and receive data wirelessly .I have a APM 2.8 and a receiver on the quadcopter.

434

@Saikat You will likely need an external transmitter / receiver (or transceiver).The MPU6050 needs to be connected to a microcontroller and the microcontroller connected to the transmitter / receiver. The commands need to programmed to be in the same format expected by the APM flight controller.

435

Thank you Sir,
I also wanted to know about the transmitting and receiving of data. Will it like be sending 6/8 bit data and receiving…or something else??
Generally we use a 6 channel transmitter and receiver but what to use in this case??

436

@Saikat Das It’s not very likely that you will emulate a normal RC transmitter - you will need to use the flight controller’s serial port.
