I would just like to announce that I making the Quadcopter a weekly (maybe twice a week) project that will probably last the whole semester.

• The stuff that I need help with:

  • Choosing an appropriate design that will carry a RaspberryPi, an Ardiuno , and the wires that will connect the circuitry.

  • Determining what sensors and equipment the quadcopter will need and programming them.
  • Making\programming the quadcopter to be stable and can stay level in the air when need be.
  • Making a decent User Interface.
  • Making a good control scheme for phones and pads.
  • Building a simple AI that adjusts the quad copter angle so it becomes stable if thrown.
  • Sending video feedback to the control device if it can receive it(desktop,laptop,phones,ipads,etc...)
  • Adding cool features to the quadcopter (such as lasers and nurf guns, GPS, person tracking, a small robotic arm, etc....)
  • Adding anything you can think of that can be added to make the quadcopter more awesome.
  • Help making the project wikipage better\ teaching me how to use the wikipage better

Quadcopter

• Sending and receiving video signals
• Controlled by laptop, smartphone, game controller
• Basic AI
• ...it's a quadcopter

Ahmed, will your homegrown copter fly this Saturday?

No, This Saturday (9/14) we will build the frame of the quadcopter then for each subsequent week adding components until we get a full grown quadcopter with whatever add-on we can. -Ahmed

We built the frame of the quadcopter. Here are some of the images we have taken during the assembly:
