Buy Crazyflie Nano by Bitcraze Like all quadrocopters, the Crazyflie is given life by advanced control theory algorithms that help it ‘think’. It arrives 100% pre-programmed but comes disassembled and requires minor soldering, but shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes for an experienced tinkerer to get everything up and running. Compared to the AR Drone 2.0 we featured a few months back, the Crazyflie may be identical in concept (four-rotor flying banshee), but is built for a very different purpose yet is still equally as fun. Learning to fly the Crazyflie takes a small dose of patience, so consider yourselves cautioned. Unlike most quadrocopters, the Crazyflie doesn’t come with a controller, instead it is bundled with a 2.4 GHz USB RF transceiver that receives commands and sends telemetry data back to a Windows/Linux computer host within an 80-meter range. The no-frills and open-source feel of the Crazyflie is immediately apparent when opening the box. Note: We’re offering both the 6-DOF and the 10-DOF.
The Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter The Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter The Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter is a miniature quadcopter that fits in your hand. It only weights about 19 grams and is 9 cm motor-to-motor. Aside from being fun to fly, it’s main purpose is to be a versatile development platform that can be used to experiment, develop and explore a lot of different areas of technology. How do I use the quadcopter? The quadcopter is flown by connecting a USB radio dongle and a controller to a host system, and then running the Crazyflie client software. For input a wide range of controllers can be used when connected to your PC. The Crazyflie platform The Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter is part of the Crazyflie platform. Quadcopter specifications Here’are the specifications of the Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter 6-DOF version: The specifications for the Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter 10-DOF are the same, but it has two added sensors: 3-axis magnetometer HMC5883L (compass)High precision altimeter MS5611-01BA03 What can I use the quadcopter for?
ArduCopter | Multirotor UAV Learn 3D Printed Robotics: MakerClub There's a Problem... Most people reading this at home on their laptops don't fully understand the technology behind this webpage: the hardware, the thousands of lines of code, and the man hours, that make it possible for it to be read all round the world. We rely so much on our smartphones, tablets and apps everyday, but very few people can create and invent this technology. So if we don't teach design, electronics and coding, who will make the next disruptive technologies like 3D printers, Hoverboards and biofuels? Where would we be without great inventors & innovators like Alexander Graham Bell and Tim Berners-Lee? Solution... We at @MakerClub believe that a love of technology is a love of invention, innovation and creativity. We have developed a better way to teach today’s learners tomorrow’s skills - by making engaging 3D printed robots that inspire creativity through hands on learning. No prior knowledge?

3D Printed Quadcopter This amazing looking device is a quadcopter that was designed by me and my team at the University of Victoria. The project built completely from scratch using 3D printed parts, some cheap electronics, and a modified version of the AeroQuad software. The purpose of the project was to create a DIY quadcopter for under $200 and push the limits of what the 3D printer in our laboratory can do. You can see the full project page here. Step 1: Components The goal of our design is to keep the parts relatively cheap (under $200) and light enough to allow 3D printed parts. Rotors - Brushless DC motors that can provide the necessary thrust to propel the craft. Frame - The structure that holds all the components together. Prop Guard - Styrofoam structure around the props to protect the device in the event of a collision. Microcontroller & Sensors - The Arduino microcontroller loaded with a 9 degree of freedom sensor from sparkfun. Step 2: Rotors Step 3: Frame Step 4: Prop Guard Assemble the parts Video
Ai.Frame: Age of Humanoid Robot by Ai.Frame Risks and challenges Body parts: We have begun beta tests among first users, and discovered that some parts were more susceptible to breakage during assembly, especially the fingers and toes of the wooden prototype. To deal with this issue, the parts will be reinforced for durability and spare parts for more fragile pieces will be included in the package. Servo: The torque of servos must match up with different joints, and if there is a mismatch, damage occasionally occurs. We advise you to read through the user guide before assembling an Ai.Frame, and please ensure that makers under 18 assemble and test the Ai.Frame under the supervision of parents or teachers. Once the project ends successfully and we enter mass production, we will make further improvements in safety and have the Ai.Frame certificated by a nationally recognized lab in the US. Software: The smartphone and tablet apps are new and we are still working on debugging. Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
