Sorry , i cant find lesson 7

22

@Jack We are still working on lesson 7 at this time. We hope to release it in a few weeks.

23

Where does the microcontroller go on the drone? What is it used for? Are there wifi enabled microcontrollers from Arduino?

24

@Shaad Khamker The microcontroller is essentially within the flight controller (a flight controller is a microcontroller with a bunch of sensors onboard).

25

Outstanding job of taking something messy and confusing for newbies and making very comprehensible. Thanks!!

26

i have bought parts of symaX5c to make a custom drone.my model has 2 arms which carries 4 motors ( 2 facing up 2 facing down ) im using a flihht control of a helicopter which has only 2 connecting pins . im going to connect 2 motors to 1 pin. will it work??

27

Please release the last lesson soon. I am dying to get it. We have a science exhibition in school. And also we want to beat our friend who challenged us.

28

@aarya shah That will likely greatly reduce your control over the drone, to the point where you may not even be able to control it.

29

@Abhigyaan We are working hard to try to get the last lesson out ASAP, but note that the subject is FPV and long range, and these are not critical to making a custom drone but rather “useful additions”.

can you attached a download link

31

@abhishek sharma For the moment the blog articles do not have a download function. You can “save page as” to save it locally and use that file for printing (if that is what you would like to do).

32

it is very good lesson.we hope you continue lesson 7 very soon

33

This lesson is quite awesome. Looking forward to the next lesson. Hope it will release soon.

34

Can i build some drone using car battery as it power supply . Pls reply

35

@Will Anything is possible, but if you plan to have the battery onboard the UAV, a car battery is simply excessively heavy for a multi-rotor drone.

36

SIR,can i use a phone DTMF control for wide range of flight

37

@chinalu We are not aware of any systems which use DTMF - you would likely need to develop it.

38

Your Comment Here…i want to start to make the drone … so where i can get basic concept

39

@premdahal That is the purpose of this series.

can you please teach me how can i make a robot using logic gates or ICs?
