Hi i am still in High school And me and my friend would like to make a QuadRotor/QuadCopter But are not really sure how to start.Could you let me know that parts you used for this project.Thanks
Well its easy, you just lean your quadrotor on the left or on the right side by differentiating the speed of the props (i.e. motors) but...
In order to keep the quadrotor on a certain angle you have to control the motors using a PID control algorithm or else ther is not a chance that you will be able to keep that angle. Its an easy algorithm if you get the hang of it.
Google it. There is alot of info out there about the quads!
you can do battery powered. we are doing it for our senior project using 2 11.1 lipo batteries. flies fine with them. but we still have to integrate the on-board camera so it can be autonomous. just using PD with pitch, yaw, roll, altitude, and x,y position.
That's very neat. I was considering building a quad-rotor with control algorithm, and was surprised to find yours on YouTube.
What is the PID controller controlling? Just pitch and roll? Or is it supposed to maintain an x-y position as well?
Also, how much power is yours drawing? I was planning on making mine battery powered but that might not be possible! Anyhow, nice job--thanks for showing it off!
About the PID control its PD control proportional and derivative not integral (due to the absence of a constant load) and it is controlling only the pitch and roll angles not the x-y position.
Now about the power i think the consumption was 3 Amps x 8 volts x 4 motors = 96 watts.
It can easily be battery powered but you can't avoid the cables in the programming period because of the many hours that you must spend perfecting your control.

Hi
I am looking at making one of these to but I am having trouble knowing how fast my microcontroller has to be. Any ideas guys?
Much appreciated

Hi there.
Well it depends on what tasks you are planning to accomplish with your micro.
4 -- 8 MHz should be ok.
You should choose all your parts first and then decide.

I will be happy to give you any code or algorithm help.
Tell me if you want me to add more videos about it.
Sorry for the late reply.
