Well, this is a story about how Raspberry Pi Zero got Ardupilot, hopefully flies away and gets back safely 🙂 I wanted to make this a professional looking PCB, with smd components, everything crammed on it, but for that, I might as well get a PXFMINI. I changed my thinking, and built a flight FC …
I had a couple of spare sets of motors and ESCs.. It was only logical to buy a new frame. I also wanted to move the APM to another multi, that I could carry around. I eventually decided on Quanum Venture FPV quadcopter with APM flight controller fitted onto it. The package arrived a couple of days …
Ever wanted to add PosHold or RTH to cleanflight? If you have a CC3D, I can help you. Enter CC3D barometer, compass, gps, OLED addon board. Barometer, magnetometer, GPS and I2C breakout board for CC3D on Cleanflight.You can also plug in an OLED display and GPS. Board size is the same as CC3D (36x36mm), and …
If you’re like me, you don like buying stuff that’s ready-to-go, but rather build one yourself. We usually spend more money, but it’s way more satisfying 🙂 I really didn’t want to buy an overly expensive 32ch FPV LCD receiver, so I made my own DIY 32ch FPV 5.8ghz LCD, that is compatible with EVERY transmitter on …
Awhile back I got an Asus EEEpc 1005p. Those tiny laptops were all the hype back then. It sports 1.66 ghz Atom processor, 2Gb ram, 160gb HDD… same as my Sony “smart” phone, perfect for android. What am I going to make with it? Eeepc, android x86, external GPS… get it? 😀 There exists an android image for that …
If you have an APM (or compatible) flight controller, and Telemetry set, chances are, you’ve hooked it to your smart phone. You need a special USB cable, called usb OTG cable. It convinces your phone’s usb controller to read other peripherals. But cables break, right? Well, mine did… I couldn’t bother fixing it, so I …
I have a few parts laying around, and I didnt want them to do to waste. Is there a better use for them? No, I dont think so 🙂 So, I want a spider quad. I cloned a TBS disco once , but I crashed it.. in the middle of the road… right in front of a …
We all have them… or have at least heard of them: The tiny, yet mighty wifi module, the ESP8266. Have you ever trid to flash ESP8266 with Nodemcu in terminal? read on They come in various shapes and sizes, but they’re basically all the same.. plus, minus some GPIO ports. I still have the v.01, that came flashed …
Heavy Aerial Lift… ta quadcopter sem sicer ze imel doma, ampak sem ga parkat dal narazen, pa enkrat razbil. Zdj sem se pa odlocil da ga popravim. Enega od ALU boomov sem skrivil, zato sem narocil nove… 3cm daljse, karbonske. ESCje so moji najljubsi Hobbyking F30a. Nisem se se odlocil med SimonK ali BlHeli, zato …
Ker je bil pocen, sem se odlocil kupit komplet telemetrije za APM. Dobil sem en Air modul, Ground modul, dve anteni in kable. Pri ceni okol 10e, se splaca pogledat kako stvar sploh skupaj stoji… No, “stoji”… cudn da sploh stoji skup. Kvalitetna spajka se sveti, ta se ne… niti slucajno. Antene so zaspajkane …
Zadnic sem napisal, da bom naredil voltmeter za multiwiija. No, pa gremo… EDIT: TO JE ZA 3CELICNE BATERIJE! V config.h je odsek za voltage monitoring. Najprej ga je treba vklopit (ODkomentirat je treba #define VBAT) /********************************************************************/ /**** battery voltage monitoring ****/ /********************************************************************/ /* for V BAT monitoring after the resistor divisor we should get [0V;5V]->[0;1023] on …
Vsak taprav geek rabi en normaln napajalnik. Predelan ATX napajalnik mi ni všeč, sploh zato ker je switching… pomoje mi je zarad tega shodu napajalnik za lipo baterije. Pa če maš čas, ga je itak najbolj narest sam. DIY all the way hehe. Na tej spletni strani sm najdu napajalnik, ki mi je všeč. Nastavljiv …
Ker bo to “delavski” flight controller, ne bom investiral v drage GPS module, ampak bom uporabil kar imam doma. Torej… imam en cheap bluetooth modul, kateregea bi povezal na DIY MWC. Problem je, ker je serijski in prepocasen. Ta serial signal je treba spremenit v i2C. Poleg tega bi pa dodal se lcd 🙂 Tole …
Prejsnji prototip MultiWiija je sicer prestal test, ampak sama ploscica je bila odprta, pa nic kaj posebej lepa. Pa tudi Aruino Pro Minija bi rad uporabljal za kj drugega heh 🙂 Zacel sm risat novo ploscico, tako, ki ne bo uporabljala Arduino Pro minija, ampak samo Atmega328. Poleg tega hocem Bluetooth, 10DOF (GY80), buzzer, AUX1, …
Odkar imam stirikopter, sm si zelel narest MultiWii. Za zacetek bo…khm.. modularni 😀 kasnej bom pa dal delat pcb, da bo tko kot se zagre. Narocil sm si torej 10DOF aka 10 degrees of freedom z accelerometrom, barometrom, gyro senzorjem in magnetometron za kompas. Sama povezava z Arduinotom je lahka, SDA na SDA, SCL na …
aka The actual making of Celotn partlist se exporta iz Eagla, cas vzame iskanje po Farnellu. Da bojo ja vse komponente pasale…pa da ne bojo predrage… pa da ni 25eur dodatne postnine iz Amerike….BOORING…. EDIT: no pa sj gre. Najvec problemov sem imel s trim potenciometri. Kolicnik za narocilo je 5, rabim jih 9, torej …
Vcasih si mislim da sm kitajc. Oni klonirajo avte, mopede, racunalnike… jst pa kontrolerje za multikopterje 🙂 Zravn mutilkopterja sm dobil tale kontroler. Gotta give credit, where credit is due -> http://www.kkmulticopter.com/ Original by Rolf R. Bakke. Seveda ga nisem znal takoj nastavit, pa sm po intermrezi iskal navodila -> KKmulticontroller v.5.5 Na zadnji strani je shema …

Najdu sm eno 3celicno LiPo baterijo.. pokvarjeno. pa ker ni bla ravno poceni, sm se jo odlocil pospravt v skatlo. Pa mi je kmal prisla prou. Dal sem jo narazn, dve celici sta bli dobri, ampak jih nimam moznosti napolnit. Kaj naredi geek? polnilc ane 🙂 Leva je napihnjena, ostali dve sta dobri Ta dva konektorja …
Direkt to kar pise, ATMEGA-powered-flickery-leds-for-fire-and-jesus-light-and-fire-in-the-barn haha. Direkt Torej, par 3mm oranznih migetajocih ledic za “bakle”, eno 5mm belo za jesus light, eno oranzno iz led lucke iz KIKa, 4 oranzne na NPN za ogenj v hlevu. Evo, platka zjedkana, zvrtana in z elemetni, vsaj vecino Tale top film je kar dobro uspel ok, narjena …
