Make Drones
Today, we are going to find out how to make a homemade Drone ;). Keep up, and at the end, it's 80% that you'll know how to make it. So let's do it, shall we?
Steps
Ingredients
- Acquire 4 small servo-motors, that can spin in both directions.
- Acquire some material for the base (Anything you can work with, except it has to be as lightweight as possible).
- Acquire spindle.
- Acquire controller:For eg. you can use raspberry pi's gpio functions. But any kind of controller will work. One with a wireless functionality would be better.(wifi, bluetooth)
- Acquire Power Source. (Depending on the controller)
Building
- Build the base, exposing 4 legs for the drone. Drill holes with the diameter of the motors, and glue in place. solder wires, if it has speed control solder those as well. (Again depending on the controller). Make sure everything is symmetric.
- Put the controller and the power source in the center under each other.
Telling it what to do
- Program your controller, so that you can control it by an input device such as a joystick or anything (preferably wireless). For instance, if the left button is pressed, then the right motor should slow down a bit and the left should speed up, that's all you need to know!
Tips
- It's very important, to use the same kind of motors tho, since the speed and the diameters probably aren't the same, so be aware.
