![]() Then I went on vacation for a few weeks, and also school just started. I originally finished building "version 1" in November, and wrote the Instructable in November. This project was originally named "PalmQuad" since it's small enough to fit in your palm, so if you might see some mention of this name in the code or pictures. This Instructable documents "version 2", but you may see pictures of "version 1" in some places. The first one worked well and I'm extremely proud of it, but it did have several flaws, enough flaws to justify a remake. This is actually the 2nd such tiny quadrotor helicopter I've built. Heavy use of Arduino and Zigduino involved. Two layer 1.6mm thick FR4 PCB used (this is the default for a lot of PCB manufactures), the components are all on a single side (easy to assemble)Īll open source project, schematics + PCB + code all available. The "arms" and "body" are connected by locking slots, making them easy to build and repair This particular ATmega has a built-in 2.4GHz transceiver, 16 possible channels, 250kbit/s or 2mbit/s max depending on the standard being used. Uses ATmega128RFA1 microcontroller for both copter and transmitter Motors are supposedly "X-Twin" spare motors, they come with the propellersįlight battery is a single Li-poly cell, 3.7V, 350mAH, 20CĬontroller battery is a single Li-ion cell, 3.7V, 1000mAH Running a modified MultiWii firmware, which is open source, written with Arduino and Processingĭiagonal motor to motor distance is 110mm When the copter plugs into the transmitter, the user can synchronize to a random radio frequencyĬontrolled using a Wii Classic Controller, which plugs into the transmitter ![]() ![]() USB battery recharging on the transmitter, the copter plugs into the transmitter to recharge MPU-6000 gyro & accelerometer sensor for flight stabilization My design files are meant for 5.11 so use that instead. Update Feb 25 2012: Warning, I may have discovered a bug inside the CadSoft EAGLE 6.1.0 software that may make the PCB look slightly different. ![]()
