First, you need to bind your transmitter to your receiver, which enables your transmitter to control the receiver and hence the drone. Radio transmitter requires some settings/configurations to control the drone. If you wish to change the radio transmitter or receiver then you will need to bind them first. Radio transmitter and receiverįlySky FS-CT6B transmitter and receiver set is used in this project. To get adequate amount of thrust from these propellers, we will need higher Kv rating, such as 2000Kv, motors. In case a smaller drone frame like QAV250 is used with smaller 12.7cm propellers, the same motors will not be able to lift of the drone. Since Kv rating is low, we need at least 25.4cm propeller to lift the F450 drone body easily. In this project, 1000Kv brushless motors are used along with 30A electronic speed controllers. With higher Kv rating of the motors, smaller propellers can be used. This means a longer propeller would be required to get sufficient thrust to lift the drone. Low Kv rating means a lower rpm of the motor. The Kv rating of motors refers to the constant velocity of a motor (it is not kV for kilo-volt).
DRONE STATION PROJECT FULL
Suppose your motor is going to consume 20 amperes on full throttle, then the ESC should be rated 30A or more. Each ESC module must be rated at least 10A more than the motor. The quadcopter’s flight controller sends information to the motors via ESC. 2: Quadcopter Drone motors’ configuration Electronic speed controllerĮach motor in quadcopter is attached to a circuit called electronic speed controller (ESC).
DRONE STATION PROJECT INSTALL
So, we need to install the motors and propellers accordingly as shown in Fig. Rear right motor should rotate clockwise (CW).Rear left motor should rotate counter-clockwise (CCW).Front right motor should rotate counter-clockwise (CCW).Front left motor should rotate clockwise (CW).
To achieve this, the motors need to be setup in the following manner: A suitable propeller is attached to each of the motor.įor the quadcopter to fly, each propeller’s rotation should provide sufficient thrust to lift the drone. In a quadcopter drone, two DC motors are required for clockwise rotation and two for anti-clockwise rotation. So, you need to maintain the right balance between motor and propeller configurations. But that requires higher torque from the motor.
With increase in pitch, the thrust provided by the propeller also increases. In this project, two propellers are for clockwise rotation and two for anti-clockwise. If the number on propeller starts with L, it of course means the propeller is meant for anti-clockwise rotation. The next two digits (45) indicate the pitch (4.5-inch or 11.43cm) the propeller cuts through the air per revolution. If the number following R is 1045 (like R1045), the first two digits (10) indicate length of the propeller in inches (10-inch or 25.4cm in this case). If the number starts with R, it means right or clockwise rotation. The propellers come with numbers marked on them, starting with either R or L letter and, sometimes, without any letter. Before jumping to construction and assembly of the project, you need to know some basic things about the drone including its propellers, motor rotation, transmitter, and receiver.
