Quadric can hang in one place and keep a photo and video shooting, it is because of this, many photographers keep up with progress and buy quadcopters for video shooting.
Quadcopters broke into our lives together with technical progress. Today, order electronics for quadcopter from China is very cheap. Collect the Rama of the Quadrocopter with their own hands from the girlfriend and is not difficult at all. You can learn how to control with air simulators. So the main thing is the presence of a desire to make a quadrocopter with your own hands.
Electronics for quadcopter is best to buy ready.
Engines for quadcopter, 4 pcs - D2822 / 14 1450KV
Of course, an additional purchase of a small quadrocopter is a bit overly, but, flying on this you learn how to manage and fly on a large quadcopter with a camera without falls! And the small toy can always be given to the child.
Well, lastly, small video Flight on the quadcopter, recording from the camera.
In this article we satisfied the main programming of homemade quadcopters. If you want to learn more - see section
how to make a quadracopter so that it flew within 500 meters with a real-time camera that displays the image on the screen
Guys help!
I want to collect the Quarterrick on the Arduino Mega platform using this component items:
The first tests of the aircapter aircraft occurred in the 1922th, but only in the second decade of the XXI century. This type of layout began to gain popularity with an impressive pace. In comparison with other radio-controlled models, quadcopters are in great demand, probably because they have a practical purpose: at least shooting beautiful frames from the air.
Following the requests of consumers, manufacturers flood the market by an abundance of models of various configurations with a variety of characteristics. Many buyers prefer RTF (Ready-to-Fly, ready for flights) kits that are able to rise into the air after easy calibration.
But light paths are not needed to everyone. Special pleasure can be removed by collecting a quadrocopter with a zero on its own. The degree of complexity varies from the sets with all the necessary details for the assembly to independently selecting each component, check their compatibility, assembly and setting up their own BPL.
Collect the quadrocopter makes sense and in the presence of specific application scenarios, to which the factory models are not adapted. Or assemble the apparatus itself for flight training that will not mind will be broken. Detailed drawing This will not need enough sketch, which marks all the elements.
In order for the built apparatus to be able to rise into the air at least in theory, and the assembly of the quadrocopter delivered pleasure with his own hands, you need to purchase a number of relevant components:
Tools for assembly will need a little - a screwdriver for assembling a frame, a soldering iron and, of course, the skills of working with it.
The lack of the latter is easy to eliminate in the process of assembly, the benefit, the "highest pilot" of possession soldering station not needed. And it is better to use soldering tips with a thin stale.
The drawings of the quadcopters in the full sense of the word does not exist, but they are not needed. Assembly from modules eliminates such a need. FROM consumables Everything is a bit more difficult. To assemble the quadrocopter with your own hands you will need:
Nothing will prevent the necessary edits and refinement in the design in the process of assembly or flight tests. Maybe for the goals set, it is better to collect the okoxopter with your own hands. If there is care and caution, even the most technically illiterate lovers of devices will be able to build a flying drone. Moreover, flight tests will further reveal all the shortcomings that will be eliminated. As a result, the perfect personal drone will turn out. The main thing is to clearly present the scenario of its application.
There are a lot of layout options and the design of the multi-poctures, but the most common models with four screws are most common. Therefore, the assembly of such a quadcopter will serve as an example for a phased overview of the assembly process. In the process, you can rely on exemplary drawings of quadcopters from the network or compiled by themselves.
Regardless of the dimensions or destination, each drone must have a frame, a frame that is supported. Assembling ready-made frames should not cause difficulties in view of what they are supplied detailed instructions and all necessary fasteners.
And to assemble the frame yourself, you will have to show design abilities. Self-made frame of the quadcopter from metal, plastic, metalplastic or wood should be sufficiently strong. For example, the thickness of the wooden parts of the frame made with their own hands should be at least 30 mm. The assembly of its quadrocopter is not enough durable frame - empty efforts, because it will often break.
In any case, the output should be given the specified number of rays of the same length, which carry motors and are attached to the central carrier plate. It also installed landing supports or "legs". In some options, the layout of the legs "grow" from under the engines. It all depends on the features dictated by the drawing of the quadrocopter and its frame.
Engines, their controllers and propellers play a key role in speed, maneuverability and other flight characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the products of brands that work closely in the field of quadcopter construction, and not someone who found himself in this market segment by chance.
Motors for one project must be one model from one manufacturer.
Yes, the movement occurs due to the difference in the speed of their rotation, but it must be strictly controlled. Motor of engines would violate the balance. Mock with screws on the outer ends "rays".
After the engines on the plane, their supports are placed turnover controllers and fixed with screeds. The connection of the controllers with engines, as well as with a distribution board, is carried out by direct soldering and connector. If desired and budget opportunities, you can use the 4-B-1 controller, but then the quadcopter layout scheme will change slightly. As a result, it will turn out almost the prepared copter, which lacks only the flight controller.
The flight controller is typically mounted at the top of the device frame, over the distribution board and the battery compartment. The layout is permissible to change, but it is worth remembering that the lower the center of gravity, the steady the device.
To minimize the effect of vibrations to work the flight controller, its mounting site is often attached to rubber spacers or more cunning systems of vibrations are used. At the design stage, this is a good opportunity to shine with engineering smelting, without applying irreparable harm to the whole structure.
Only after the controller is installed, you can place the remaining nodes and modules: receiver from the control panel, GPS sensor, magnetic compass, chamber, suspension, etc.
And only place on the housing, the connection is permissible only after the primary calibration of the flight controller.
Various manufacturers produce different controllers, control panels and other components. Therefore, their calibration is a complex and variable process worthy of separate consideration.
In order to collect a quadrocopter with a camera with your own hands, you need to divide the assembly into two stages. The first stage is the assembly of the quadrocopter. The second is the connection to the camera.
So, the first stage.
To assemble the quadrocopter, we will need the following:
It all concerns mechanisms and management.
In order for our quadcopter to feel confident in flight, it needs to be provided with a certain skeleton on which all control mechanisms will be held. There are two approaches to solving this task:
To choose the most appropriate option for you, you need to understand some nuances. If you purchase a ready-made frame, then as a rule, you can already fasten everything to it and you can run in flight. But if, some detail will be damaged when dropping or inaccurate use, waiting for this item will take some time until it is delivered by courier services to your address.
As for the team of the frame, with their own hands from the remedies, then in this case it will be necessary to tinker to cut and attach everything. In the case of any incident, the broken part can be easily replaced.
The most common option for making frames from undergraduate means is plastic pipesthat are used in construction for wire wiring. Their properties are ideal for attaching everyone elements necessary Management, engines. To fasten them (engines), you can use fasteners, those that are used to fasten the pipes to the walls when wiring wiring.
With the help of such pipes, it turns out quite good designwhere you can securely fix all the details of the quadrocopter and the chamber. So, we are almost ready for a quadrocopter with a camera with your own hands, it remains to properly gather and go on test flights.
The whole process on the assembly of the quadrocopter is presented in this video. We look.
Below are the photos that I found on the Internet. They are represented by quadrocopters with a camera that were collected by their own hands from the remedies.
I could not find a Russified instruction, thanks to my friend who translated from English to Russian this instruction for you.
When connecting motors, you will have to extend the wires, the extension method. You can use any suitable wires, but preferably "silicone". This will allow them not to crack at low temperatures if you suddenly want to capture the New Year's Salute in the winter.
So we collected a quadrocopter with your own cameras, it remains to train our car to behave correctly in flight. For this you need to "train". How it's done? Very simple! You need to download the firmware on the board via USB. You can find this firmware on a specialized forum or on our website. When an article with firmware comes out, a clickable link to the firmware appears.
If you still do not know how to fly on the quadcopter and want to learn, it is especially for you I will write an article on this topic. The link will appear here. There I will tell about the features of the control of the quadrocopter and on what faster everything learning to fly as a professional.
As for the second stage, everything just needs to be attached to the camera, which you consider suitable for yourself for the price and quality. In video reviews, you will find a suitable camera, if not, then write to the chat, which is located in the lower left corner, other users will be prompted.
At the end of this article, I suggest you to see another video on the assembly of the quadrocopter with the camera with your own hands.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) are a high-tech costly technique. However, "drones" of the amateur level of execution are quite accessible. Not by chance recent years are rapidly gaining popularity among the townships, small drones, including those collected by their own hands. New, the so-called FPV technology (First Person View) is a first-person view, gives a unique flight experience to each wishes. Radio-controlled aircraft carrier always had the demand of youth society. The appearance of drones only spurd this demand, easily satisfied if you buy a ready-made flying machine, or collect drone with your own hands.
Quadcopter (DRON) is a constructive execution of an unmanned aircraft belonging to the number of the most popular projects of aircode model.
The easiest way to get a bp should be just taken and buy a quadrocopter (drone), the benefit of the market (including the Internet) freely provides such an opportunity.
However, for more interest and for the purpose of a better understanding - what is drone, more practical and more economical to collect a quadrocopter with their own hands (DIY - Do it Yourself), for example, from a set of finished parts. A more serious option is the assembly of the quadrocopter (drone) from scratch - using a minimum of finished components.
Before starting the drone assembly personally, it will be necessary to determine the components for creating a quadcopter (drone). Therefore, consider a list of basic components constituting (drone):
Rama drone (quadrocopter) is allowed to build using different materials:
If the choice fell on wooden frame Drone (as the simplest in terms of technology), you will need wooden plank Thickness of about 2.5-3.0 cm., 60-70 cm long.
The board is cut in such a way that two strips are 60 cm long and 3 cm wide. These two strips are the structure of the future quadrocopter quadrant.
The frame structure of the drone is built by the simple intersection of two wooden planks under the "X" frame. The resulting frame is enhanced by a rectangular detail - stitching, in the central part. The size of the rectangle is 6 × 15 cm, the thickness is 2 mm. The material is also a tree.
The classic configuration of the quadcopter frame (drone), which is used in most cases assembly with their own hands. The option with installed engines and controller is shown.
Other sizes of the quadrocopter frame (drone) are not excluded, which are different from the stated, but should not forget about compliance with proportions. The compound of parts of the frame is usually performed by nails and glue.
Instead of a tree, it is allowed to apply a metal or plastic of the same sizes. However, the methods of connecting planks will be different.
Below the list of ready-made carbon frames of quadcopters (drones) commercially available in the market:
Under the manufacture of classic quadcopter (drone) you must have 4 engines. Accordingly, if the coke-plant project was conceived, eight engines will be required.
One of the options for the manufacture of quadcopter motors propellers (drone). The material is chosen hard plastic, given the small dimensions of the design In Russian, the ESC (Electronic Speed \u200b\u200bControllers) module (Electronic Speed \u200b\u200bControllers) of the quadrocopter is called a speed controller. This is an equally important part of the unmanned aircraft than the electric motor.
ESC modules are responsible for the correct power transmission of drone motor. The number of quadcopter modules corresponds to the number of electric motors.
Propellers can buy metal 9-inch. These products are affordable price Freely purchased on the market.
Metal structures are durable, cannot be bend at high loads during the flight process. However, for higher screw performance - the best way Carbonic propellers. For example, these:
A set of flone \u200b\u200belectronics (quadcopters) traditionally consists of a flight controller and wireless system Control. This can also include the power module, since most feeding modules are endowed electronic system Monitoring AKB.
Battery charge status - important moment Flights. It is difficult to imagine that it will be with the apparatus if the battery is discharged, for example, during the flight above the reservoir.
The flight controller maintains the stability of the quadcopter flight, by processing data relative to the direction and strength of the wind, as well as many other parameters.
Flight controller on STM32F103C8T6: 1, 2 - Cook (+; -); 3 - stream; 4 - RCCI; 5 - case; 6 - 5 volts; 7 - battery; 8, 9 - UART TX, RX; 10 - Strip indicator; 11, 12, 13, 14 - motors; 15 - ppm. The controller, as a rule, is equipped with the so-called "firmware" - microcircuit of memory, where the basic information for the chip similar to the AVR microcontroller is recorded.
Flight controller can be bought in finished versionBut not excluded the assembly of the scheme with their own hands. True, for the second option, you must have an electronics skills and corresponding. Therefore, it's easier to take advantage of the finished solutions.
Examples of ready-made models of controllers drone control:
Arduupilot. - Qualitative controller (expensive), intended for airborne unmanned aircraft. The firmware is distinguished by the presence of fully automated flight modes. The system provides high technical characteristics.
OpenPilot CC3D. - System based on Digital Motion Processor, endowed with a whole family of flight organization sensors. Includes a three-thread accelerometer and gyroscope. The project is easy enough to configure and sets. There is a user manual.
Naze32. - Also a fairly flexible and powerful system, but seems somewhat complicated in terms of settings. Equipped with an advanced firmware program.
KK2. - One of the popular solutions, which often choose beginners, as the controller is relatively inexpensive and equipped with an LCD display. The basis of the scheme is the AVR microcontroller of one of the latest modifications. The circuit provides for connecting the MPU6050 sensors. However, the setting is only manual.
The wireless remote control system consists of a transmitter and receiver radio signals. Through the system of the BU, not only the flight control is carried out, but also the management of the position installed on the drone.
Drone control panel (quadrocopter) in the classic variation of the radio signal transmitter with the ability to monitor via LCD Display Here, as a rule, used exclusively ready solutions. For example, any of the systems doors in the list below:
Electric motors are installed on the frame created. Perhaps you will have to calculate the locations of the motors and drill in the frame of the fastening hole, if there are no other options.
About such mechanical scheme It is recommended to fix the electromotors on the frame of the quadcopter (drone). True, much in the mount depends on the frame material Then mounted speed controllers. Traditionally, these modules are installed on the bottom plane of the frame. Speed \u200b\u200bcontrollers through ribbon cables are connected directly to the engines.
A landing module is added on the frame - part of the structure, designed to organize the "soft" landing of the drone. Execution of this constructive element It should provide for mitigating strikes when landing on solid soil. Designs are possible different plan.
The next step is mounted by the flight controller. The location of this module is not critical. The main thing is to ensure the protection of electronics and uninterrupted work.
Drone flights are connected by the attached scheme to the module (receiver) of the remote control panel and to the electronic speed control electron. All connections are made by means of reliable connectors, and the most important points "sit" on the tin soldering.
In principle, the main assembly on this is completed. But it is not worth a hurry to hurry to close the drone. All systems must be tested - sensors and other quadcopter components using a special OpenPilot GCS software (CC3D and GCS) for this. True, the release of the program is quite old and new developments may not be supported.
After the test, the assembled apparatus - the unmanned quadcopter is ready for flight. In the future, DRON is easy to upgrade - equipped with a video camera and other devices that expand functionality.
Due to the development of technical progress, photographers, videographers and bloggers are increasingly using quadcopters in their arsenal. At the same time, the prices for a normal model begins from 30,000 rubles. In addition, users often wish to install their camera on it, and not all the suspensions of popular models allow it. Therefore, the question remains up to you how to construct the quadrocopter with your own hands. Do it easy if you have at least basic knowledge in the electrician, but you need to know certain nuances and subtleties. Step-by-step instructions By assembling the quadrocopter, do your own hands further in the article.
Microcontroller Arduino Uno.
Today, the word Arduino is often found among the modellers. What does this mean, and what does it take to the quadrocopter with your own hands? Arduino Uno microcontroller is a small electronic device that controls the accelerometer, gyroscope and other sensors, transmitting and receiving information, etc. It consists of their systems that are responsible for a specific function. "Brain" Arduino is a microcontroller. It has memory and is able to perform uncomplicated tasks. It is possible to compare it with a one-year minicomputer. The next component is the electrical conclusions that are around the perimeter of the board. They perform the role of hands for Adruino. Included there are analog or digital conclusions required for control.
So, you need to make a quadrocopter with your own hands and provide it with a base that will allow the Copter to take off into the air and perform the necessary tasks. It becomes the Arduino Uno controller for a quadcopter, which will ensure stability and control in flight. Collecting the quadrocopter do it yourself, you will save up to 15,000 rubles, while creating a completely functional drone.

A accelerometer and gyroscope are needed to control the quadcopter. This will be enough if you are standing with a simple design for flights for a short distance. To build a complex machine with a multitude of modules, functions, GPS support will have to install additional sensors. For the first model, we recommend choosing the MPU-6050 fee - it contains all the necessary sensors.
Details for assembling the quadcopter with your own hands on Aliexpress, or print some of them on a 3D printer. Basic components:
If 4 identical fans left from the old computer, the motors are suitable for assembling a copter. When you first experience it is better to abandon the assembly of the quadcopter with the camera with your own hands. First, deal with the control, and only then fasten the camera so that you do not lose the quadrocopter and cameras at the same time. When assembling it is recommended to make a wide base between the rays of the drone. Then it will be possible to hang the camera without excess work. Simple option Also is a quadcopter on a 3D printer with your own hands. To do this, it is also necessary to print, downloading the necessary details.
When assembling the quadcopter, select suitable size apparatus. There are such:
Wiring diagram. Click to enlarge
The model of the quadrocopter assembled with his own hands requires the correct connection of the wiring, otherwise the device is unlikely to fly into the air. First, make a parallel connection of four power wires. You will need detachable connections in the battery connection location to the wires. All other places need to make a spike. Details will need to be tightened with the help of a heat shrinkage, otherwise, in the future, due to the vibration during the flight, they will be disconnected.
Next, deal with the control board, connect the wires of the drivers. From this point on, proceed to check the flight controller to eliminate possible problems.
First of all, we prepare and connect the rays and frame. If there is no possibility to print a frame on a 3D printer, then instead, use the usual fane. In place of connecting frame parts, install the power fee. To secure it downstairs in the central part. To the body, fasten it on both sides by plastic straps, which adjust the length. In this case, the board can move, shifted, but, nevertheless, it will fulfill its purpose, and to worry about what she flies, it is not worth it.
Next, set the flight controller from above. It is very important that it was placed exactly in the center, so it is best to measure the place where it will be. Fix this detail stands self-drawing desired size. Then secure the receiver and the transmitter, for this superstar. Also prepare the platforms at the ends of the rays. They are needed to install engines and propellers. Connect the engines can be three power wires. The direction of rotation of the screws depends on their location.
The next step is to install the battery. Use two Zippy Compact batteries for 3700 mAh. It is necessary to fix them diagonally immediately to two rays. Use a wide plastic strap and scotch for this. Cross in the central part is also suitable for installing batteries. There is space between the cross and control panel, we have a strap for fastening batteries. Batteries put on each other, put the sponge that is used for the transportation of beating items. Secure them with a strap, and on top of the tape so that the batteries do not slide.
At the end we collect and install screws at the ends of the rays for special platforms. It remains only to connect the wires and can be proceeded with the first flights. It is best for the beginning to throw the flight time to have time to make a soft landing. This is especially important if the drone was not attached to their own hands, the chassis was not attached.
Homemade quadcopters need to configure the firmware. Download and install the program. Next will need to execute the proposed instructions for proper setting programs. Now proceed to fly. For beginners, drone drone is not as simple as it seems at first glance. However, if you wish and patience, you will quickly learn. Install the quadrocopter at a distance of 10-12 meters from yourself. To take off the gas lever tilt down and right. Your drone takes off. Next is the case of technology and training.
