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

@Pranav We need quite a bit more information - can you please post on the RobotShop Forum and provide details?

Dear sir, I want to make a drone to use for spraying the pesticide in our agriculture fields. So please guide me.

@Hariom You essentially need a normal UAV, but with a very high payload carrying capacity. If this is your first time buildign a drone, then start smaller and learn what is needed; don’t design and build something too big if this is your first time.

Sir please guide me I want to make a drone

@Abhi That is the objective of this series. If you need additional information, it’s best to purchase a complete drone kit.

Sir
I wanna make a Micro class UAV(not more than 1.5kg excl payload).Electric motor propulsion.With payload bay enclosed(5 inch * 1.5 inch *1.5inch). Hand toss launch and runway landing. Please guide accordingly.

@Shaggy You indicate “runway landing”, so you are looking to make an airplane rather than a multi-rotor? If you have never designed an airplane before, we suggest looking for a frame which is meant to carry heavier payloads: https://www.robotshop.com/en/airplanes.html

hii i am a student and i am working on a drone not a UAV , its an vehicle and i am getting problem while giving input to vehicle via bluetooth on my android phone , so help me how do i give input via bluetooth and what accessories do i need to use .

@prasad Although your question does not really relate to this aticle, you need an application on your Android which sends serial commands via Bluetooth. Your microcontroller needs to be connected to its own Bluetooth module and programmed to “understand” the serial commands being sent, at the right baud rate, and then take action. You also first need to pair your phone with the drone’s Bluetooth module. For more information, please create a new topic on the RobotShop Forum.

halo sir , main dron making sikhana chahata hu main kuchh karana chahata hu

Sir ! Please upload the drone making video ple… Sir

@yashwan kumar That is the objective of this series of articles.

@Abhinav yadav A video describing how to design and create a custom drone is not the easiest to make as it would require showing specific parts which may be outdated very quickly.

is it true less rpm motor gives high torque ? and 650KV motor, 14*6 propeller with 11.1v are able to give the 2.3 kg thrust if not plz suggest the material?

@Prashant You might be thinking about gearing for brushed DC motors where a higher gear ratio would result in lower RPM and higher torque. For non-geared BLDC motors, this is not necessarily the case. You should check thrust data for a motor given different propellers.

I cant get any almost all of the components are not available in my country please I need your help I really want to have one of this dron for my electronic project

@Johnnyson Dominic RobotShop ships worldwide, with very few restrictions on countries.

wanna build a drone for group and looking for more :slight_smile:

I want to know more about uav helicopter design which has max take off weight of 300 to 350 kg. help me with main rotor and tail rotor design for total length of 4 m. thankyu

@Augustine dsouza That’s an actual helicopter - you are well beyond the range of “drones”.
