Title
Designing Arduino controlled self -leveled Quadcopter using flight controller
ABSTRACT: In today modern technology is arriving so fast and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is one amongst the fastest Technology emerging. Quadcopter which is additionally referred to as Quadrotor is one among the UAV which basically have four motor and 4 propellers in comparison to other RC flying vehicles the quad in addition as multi rotors comes with most stable plat form. I have got used Arduino uno board for controlling the drone in flight mode instead of pre-programmed flight controller board to scale back cost efficiently. INTRODUCTION Technological advancements in fields of rescue operations similarly in remote package delivering systems has led us to the event of a quadcopter. The quadcopter’s flight controller is an Arduino microcontroller and its flight movements can be controlled using a transmitter- receiver setup. The quadcopter can be used for the purpose of search & rescue operations as well as for remote package delivering operations. In the early development of the drones, they were used mainly in military issues like spying the enemy zone and surveillance but due to great advancement in today drones are used in many areas like filming, construction, guiding, traffic jam control, surveillance. Therefore, studying and designing cost effective drone helps you to get versatile advantages. Quadcopter unlike traditional helicopter it relays on the four rotors to generate uplifting thrust by working together. Each rotor lifts quarter of the overall weight which allows us to use less expensive and smaller motors. We control the movement of quad by the changing the amount of power delivers each rotor to its propellers. In order for the balance to be maintained, the quad relies on the info it gathers from internal sensors, and adjusts the power it sends to every motor in order that the complete drone is leveled. To stay balanced all of the time the quad uses a sophisticated system, which usually makes the adjustments autonomously, and this is often where I am designing the Arduino board and its programming to really balance itself all of the time. this sort of self-stabilization will make the drone quite accessible to fly, as you I won’t have to constantly worry about losing control and damaging the quad. Problem statement Basically, the drone doesn’t balance in the air. indeed, in sentimental physics we would tend to believe that if we run the engines at the same speed that is enough to keep the drone at a stable altitude. but in reality, the motors generate vibrations reflected on the cabin, the propellers generate turbulences, the drone is never perfectly balanced, the wind blows in an archaic manner. in short, the drone will inevitably tilt one side or the other side after a while. therefore, a what system should be designed to take a correction while the drone is flying? Mechanics of Displacement of the drone It is the propellers by their rotation which allow the drone to raise in the air. First of all, lets define the three-axis movement of the drone 1, x Roll – movement from left to right 2 y pitch – movement of back ward and forward 3 z yaw – the rotation on its self
It is the propellers by their rotation which allow
the drone to raise in to the air, when they are parallel to the ground, they generate a perpendicular force. in order for the drone to be able to move in one direction it must be tilted in that direction. Materials required 1) Frame Frame is the Skelton of the drone where it is all elements will be fixed. it can be different shapes and be built in from different materials. Frame is both light and rigid and have a power bus for connecting the battery to speed controllers.
2) Brushless Dc motors Brushless motors spin at a higher speed and take a less power. They have KV rating which specifies the RPM of the motor with no load. 3) ESC (electronic speed controller)
ESC regulates the electric motor speed according to the control signal applied. the control signal is typically a PWM signal whose pulse width varies from 1ms to 2ms. A 1ms will turn off the motor and 2ms pulse will affect its full speed.
