RC Quadrotor Helicopter

It's a RC helicopter that uses 4 rotors. Watch it in 720p You need some pre-requisite skills: How to use Arduino, enough to get started Soldering, wiring, basic electronic skills Basic hand tool operation A quadrotor helicopter flies with 4 spinning propellers on a + shaped frame. When one rotor spins faster than the rotor on the opposing side, the faster side will have more lift, and thus the helicopter will tilt. The propellers also need to be in counter-rotating pairs, two spin clockwise and two spin counter-clockwise.

We will be building a flight controller circuit that contains an accelerometer and gyroscope sensor so that a microcontroller can detect undesired changes in the helicopter's angle, and adjust each rotor's speed accordingly to counter the variation. The flight controller is a completely open source circuit. This helicopter will use four brushless motors. Summary of Downloads: Overview. What is OpenPilot all about?

Overview

The project aims to create an Open Source Auto Pilot controller, of a very high quality, for unmanned aerial platforms. OpenPilot has an emphasis on ease of use and the project aims to offer a level of performance that means it can be adopted for both the hobbyist and also for more serious work. The OpenPilot project was founded in late 2009, and it is has grown rapidly since then with a multitude of contributors to the codebase and tens of thousands of users from all over the world.

The OpenPilot project has been the heart of flying robots that have been used for search and rescue missions along with numerous videography missions by TV shows and movies. On this page: This is a non-profit project of the OpenPilot Foundation This is a project using only volunteer personnel who have donated enormous amounts of time, money and effort.

The latest software also support additional multicopter configurations! Buy AeroQuad Parts HereDownload the AeroQuad Software AeroQuad hardware typically consists of the fully-featured STM32-based AeroQuad32 flight controller board or an Arduino microcontroller (Mega 2560 or Uno) as the flight controller board, and an AeroQuad shield with various sensors, such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer (heading), barometer (altitude hold) ultrasonic sensors and GPS. Below you'll find an overview of the features AeroQuad offers you: Multiple flight configurations are supported: Development: For information on the development of AeroQuad, see the AeroQuad GitHub Repository, the AeroQuad Developers Guide and our Wiki.
