Spectacular project and video!

[fredylg]

Great project what control strategy are you using , is the control done on board or are you using a separate pc for that?

once again you guys have done a great job

[haider5555]

Excellent work using restricted available resources

We want to make a documentary can, you inform me the contact

Great work.

NUST,EME Pakistan is really progressing well.

AMAZING work! everything is very well done!

i'm curious though, what program did you use for the CFD and dynamics simulation? is it done with Pro/E ?

[saadtiwana]

We used "CFDesign 9.0" for CFD and "Visual Nastran v4nd" for dynamics simulations. The model was built in pro-E and was then linked to these two softwares and Matlab/Simulink.

@ AhmedAsim: yes these are brushless motors. We used towerpro 3520-6t BLDC motors. As far as sensors are concerned, we used ADIS16350 from analog devices. it's a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyro in one package. Then we did kalman filtering for attitude estimation.

great project , are these brushless motors ?

what sensors did you used ?

[fadtiwana]

you also asked where to buy these motors from in Pakistan. well you can buy them from "Hobby lobby" in Lahore or u can buy them from "Fly and spy" in Rawalpindi. i dont have their contact numbers right now, but if u cant find them tell me and i will try to get them for you.

Good luck!

I like tri rotors too, I built one too...Goodluck...

You guys have done really a good job. I am also working in this domain but i am looking from aerodynamic perspective. Keep it up guys. Future is of autonomous platforms. GoodLuck!!!!!
