How to assemble a copter (flying platform) in 2 hours

    imageRecently, videos about flying robots, or as they are also called - drones, copters, drones, have gained unprecedented popularity. These nimble ATVs controlled by a computer perform acrobatic stunts, play ping pong, can fly along GPS coordinates and conduct aerial photography.

    At the heart of such devices is a multi-rotor flying platform. The most common option is with four rotors rotating diagonally in opposite directions. The rotor is controlled by a processor that collects data from three gyroscopes, which allow to determine and fix the position in space in all three planes. The accelerometer allows the processor to set an absolutely horizontal position. The baroder can fix the device at the desired height. The displacement of the apparatus in space occurs due to a change in the rotation speed of a particular pair of motors. The platform is tilting and moving.

    From the outside, it seems terribly complicated, in fact, any office employee reading a few hours of aircraft modeling forum, armed with a control board, engines, regulators and other components, can build such an apparatus in just a couple of hours. In the studio of the Internet TV channel about technologies and software SLTV.RU, such a copter was made of improvised materials in just two hours. Watch the video .
