Project for Agriculture UAV

Hello dear friend,

I’m going to build UAV for agriculture applications and I want to know what equipment do you recommend to me?

What kind of your BLDC motor suitable for my project? And other equipment.

My UAV will be 15-20 kg.

Best regards,

Hi @Mechatronic

That is great! I suggest you read this tutorial, it will guide you through the process of building your own UAV using off-the shelf parts. This guide will try to cover common mistakes when assembling a UAV as well as list and explain the components that you are going to need, for example:

I hope you find this information helpful :grinning:

Also it would be great if you can share your project on the Robots section, there you can find some other UAVs too

Hi @geraldinebc15,

I appreciate for sharing tutorial. I’ve read it. but I don’t know Which type of BLDC is suitable for UAV with 15-20 kg?
How can I find it?

Hi @Mechatronic,

You have a lot of BLDCs offered here: https://www.robotshop.com/en/bldc-motors.html?dir=desc&order=price

For example, what I could suggest is this one:

It can lift up to 5.5kg, so you could use 4/6/8 of them to lift your UAV.

But have a look also by yourself, since there are a lot of UAV motors there.

That’s great @Mechatronic!

As @igor_X mentioned there are lots of options in the link he provided, the one he suggested is a nice option, you should check out this one too: T-Motor U-Power Professional 420KV Brushless Motor

Also, I found this guide that might help you choose the right motor for your multicopter drone.

Good luck with your project :grinning:

Hey @Mechatronic !

I see you’ve got everything you’re gonna need to build your UAV. I might recommend that you review this tutorial to get an intuition of how to put all this together step by step.

I hope this can help you and I hope you share your progress with us! Smile:

Hi @RoboCS !
Thank you so much for sharing tutorial.
Currently, I don’t want to build UAV, and I just want to evaluate what equipment and brands are suitable for a UAV with the specifications I mentioned (15-20 kg). specially, BLDC motor and flight control.
The construction phase will be after the evaluation.

Hey @Mechatronic , evaluation is a good first step.

You can also share here all things that you find out so we can have a look all together.
