= Most Recent Announcement=

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

People Involved

  • Ahmed Saif
  • Ayah Almousa
  • Matt Ebert


Ahmed, will your homegrown copter fly this Saturday?

Resource information at Drones project! - duncan

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


Sunday 9/14/2013:

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

  • quadcopter-frame-only-1.jpg

  • quadcopter-frame-only-2.jpg

  • quadcopter-frame-only-3.jpg

  • . Thanks Matt Ebert, Ian Wisher, Gautam Govardan, and Daniel Eckerson for helping out!
