PROJECT: Scratch Building a FPV DRONE (Quadcopter)
I first discovered the First Person View (FPV) Racing Drones (Quads) back in 2014. The technology was just getting started and most of the quads had to be built from a frame kits and many of the parts such as motors, props, ESC’s supplied by yourself. I wanted to describe the technology changes and some of the design choices we had to consider as the drone technology mature from the infant stage.
WORK IN PROGRESS —————————-
Website --- http://www.laporkette.fr/fr/accueil.html Compilation de 3 sessions du midi avec Bewweb et Le Baron Rouge... Temps de vol moyen pour moi : 36 secondes... ;-)) Costaud ces bestioles!! 3 noon session compilation with Bewweb and Le Baron Rouge... Mean flight time for me : 36sec ;-) Happy cryptonit frame!!
If you are interested in trying it out check out the CHARPU QAV210 racing quad: http://www.getfpv.com/qav210-carbon-fiber-fpv-quadcopter.html See it in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fNwZToLHgA I finally had time to edit a video from this amazing abandon hospital in Spain. Follow me here: http://www.charpu.com/ or here: https://instagram.com/charpu_fpv/ I want to thank Lumenier, immersionRC and Fatshark for my sponsorship.
In part 1 of the low-cost racing miniquad drone build video I look at the "bill of materials" needed to construct your own FPV racing mini quadcopter based on the ZMR250 frame.
In part 2 of the low-cost ZMR250 miniquad racing FPV drone build I show you how to prepare the arms by mounting the motors and wiring the ESCs. To avoid having overly-long videos, I've had to break the build up into several parts, part three follows shortly.
In this part of the ZMR250 low cost mini quadcopter racing drone build we add the arms to the main frame and do most of the wiring. Two options are demonstrated -- simply joining the wires directly and using a very simple and cheap home-made power distribution board.
In this part of the low-cost FPV mini quadcopter drone racer build series I look at the Naze32 board and how it is installed/programmed.
Build your own low-cost racing miniquad using the ZMR250 frame and, in part 5 of this build-series, we install and configure the FPV equipment including the camera and the video transmitter. If you have questions or comments about this video, please leave them in the comments section.
