Hi very interesting courses, may we use them as a base for a creating course on building UAv’s translated in Dutch ?
I want to build a drone as my final year project in school,so I would want u to assist me please
@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.
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.
@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).
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.
@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.
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??
@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.
i want to make a drone with targeting and hitting system.what are the strategies required to make a drone .i want to place a water gun and camera in the drone .can u guide me please.
@survenya Aside from an additional servo and a way to mount the water gun, there’s not a lot different from a normal drone. Keep in mind the following: the drone would need to lift a LOT more weight because of the water, and the downdraft from the propellers would likely affect the trajectory of the spray. You’d also likely need to choose a fairly water tight frame.
Drone by homemade things
Hello,Please can i have a reference for all this informatios pls
@AsmaD There may be books available, but the majority of information available currently regarding building a multirotor is from experience: reading through flight controller manuals, understanding the technology involved, sharing experiences, some trial and error etc.
Hello sir how are you. I want to make UAV drone this is my final year project and i’m doing engineering in mechatronics department sir i have no idea about controller and its programming as well sir it is humble request to you please suggest me the best, simple in programming and easy to operate the controller for making drone. and tell me how to program the controller for stability, move in any direction etc. i want to know the programming to controller for accurate stability
@INZAMAM These days you don’t actually have to do any programming for a flight controller - the computer software should guide you through the process of selecting a type of drone, the configuration and the flight characteristics. Lesson 4 is actually choosing a flight controller: https://www.robotshop.com/blog/en/how-to-make-a-drone-uav-lesson-4-flight-controller-15191
Different people will suggest different modes for beginners, but ANGLE and GPS / Position hold tend to be the most stable. You might want to purchase an inexpensive (~$30) mini drone to work on your flying skills.
