Quadcopter

Developing complet quadcopter flight control-board.

h3> Components

• Teensy 3.1: more advanced and powerfull than arduino
• MPU 9150: 9-axis MotionTracking device
• Bluetooth: wireless communication between board and computer (or possibly android device)
• Diods: Visual feedback of the boards state
• RC receiver: User control of quadcopter
• Quadcopter:
  • Motors: SunnySky x2212
  • ESC: HobbyKing 20A
  • Prop: 8045

Communication

For communication between drone and GCS was used MAVLINK protocol (also used in the PIXHAWK and APM). This is very effective and lightweight protocol which covers transfer of the most important flight informations."

Specifications

• Flight Time: around 15-20min min on 4000mAh lipo
• Stability: Video on youtube is old and the newest software update and tuned PID constants results to very stable flight
• Controlling: Either through classic RC controller or pc joystick

Files

• CopterTeensy: software running on Teensy 3.1
• Python: few libraries which runns on RaspberryPi just for trials (GPS, Teensy usb communication) etc.)
