Quad-Rotor Configuration #1
2014
Over the period of Summer semester in Georgia Institute of Technology I have built and sucessfully flown a quad-rotor aircraft, a.k.a. quad-copter. This is a radio-controlled aerial vehicle whole lift of which is provided by 4 vertically mounted electric motors. Differentiation of RPM/thrust in each of the motors provides possibility of maneuvers due to change in the direction of lift vector.
This is only first part of the long-term project. In the nearest future I am planning to introduce an Autopilot system to this vehicle.
Quad-Rotor Configuration #2
2014
As planned, after a few succesful flights with KK2 controller board in fully manual mode I decided to start working on implementation of the autopiloting system. HK Pilot Mega 2.7 was chosen as a perfect candidate for such an idea.
