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

I am going to make a frame quadcopter but I don’t know what difference between x4 and +4, hope you explain for me more, thank

@Kuro X4 has two arms to the left and two arms to the right (“front” is between two arms), whereas +4 has one arm forward, one arm back, one to the left and one to the right (“front” is along one of the arms).

Wow, fantastic blog structure…The overall glance of your web site is wonderful, as well as the content material.

Great article, It’s one of the best content in your site. I really impressed the post. Good work keep it up. Thanks for sharing the wonderful post.

First off let me start by saying your tutorials are great. I am a newbee to all the UAV-stuff. My son (7) and me are planning a summer project of building a drone that can water our lawn (yeah we are lazy). Now I have been reading about UAV and all the parts. It could become very expensive even before you know it. What would you suggest, on how we should go about doing this? Our initial project is to build the drone, get it to fly and water the lawn, future enhancements would be mapping the lawn and making sure it drone stays with that map (grid). Any advice would be great.
Thanks

@Sav First objective should be to build and successfully fly the drone. Watering the lawn won’t be easy since it means either carrying water, or dragging a hose (which affects flight characteristics). Unless you are well versed in programming, mapping a lawn will take quite a lot of code.

Mr. Coleman Benson
This tutorial is the best source on internet and even very helpful.
Well i want to make an fully automated drone which can work on its own and have many plans on this and even have a good plane out so if you agree to help me out by my ideas please do contact me or mail me. I will be waiting for your mail.

@Crazy Sid If you’re looking to create an entirely custom drone, this is not something we can necessarily help with - it will be up to you to learn as much as you can before and during the build. If you’re new to drones, there is a lot to learn.

I want description all drone circuit instrument. please sand me.

@Polock Unfortunately we do not have a specific document to send which lists all electronics and shows the associated circuits (with or without explanations). You might take a look at the MultiWii or Pixhawk open-source multirotor project sites.

hellow sir i want to make a drone which has a camera in it, iwant to connect it with my laptop using bluetooth ,wifi , also use some sensor with it would you guide me plzzz

@chandni That is the objective of this series of articles. We cannot provide a step by step procedure though. If you need detailed instructions, you would be best to purchase a kit.

Hello sir,
Hope you are doing well…
Could you please let me know that Electronic components & what are the technologies used in Nano air vehicle(“Hummingbird air vehicle”)
Thank you in advance.

@vamsi We are not sure which drone you are referring to. If you mean a drone which has wings which create lift, you need high speed DC motors as well as the mechanical “flapping” system.

Sir, I am aware of the fact that robotshop delivers worldwide but I am seeking to know the exact town or state in which robotshop delivers in nigeria. Thank you

@malomo victor You can add the products to your cart, click “modify my cart” and enter your address to see delivery options.

sir my intrest is make a drone but i dont have much ideas so please give a best suggition

Sir you told me how to make drone

@mukhesh If you are not ready to do research and learn, and prefer to just build, we suggest starting with a complete quadcopter kit.

@gaurav That is the objective of this series. If you need more details, we strongly suggest purchasing a complete kit.
