OK so just as promised from the previous post that i will provide some info on what exactly it is i am building, in the previous post you had seen a picture of a drone produced by the company that makes the flight controller i chose to use. i could of gone the easy way.
I am sorry let me be straight, not the easy way, but the way Every Single Person who i have ever spoke to who is involved into the Aerial RC world has recommended i go. What is this way you might ask. Well anyone who has Little to Zero experience with any physical flying object that you pilot with a remote control, and no video games do not count (my mistake), it is highly recommended that you do not start out as a builder. There was a book i read and it said that there are a couple of different types of people who are into RC. There is the Pilots and Builders/Pilots. The general rule is that you start out as a Pilot, due to the fact that when you build a one of a kind air craft it requires a one of a kind tuning and configuring job. Unfortunately if one does not understand even the basic concepts of how 6 channel remote control operates then you are in for a world of constant obstacles trying to get your craft to actually stay in the air.
Well i said what ever, you as a community do no know what you are talking about, and i am going to build a kick a&& drone, and then figure out how to configure it properly, and once i am done i will figure out how to fly it.
I have to say, that for the task that i tackled i did not do so bad. its just once you build it, then the step two and three repeat itself hundreds of time until you get it right. What i think is great about doing it this way, is yes it takes a hell of a lot longer to actually have a working machine that does what it suppose to but it allows you to understand the whole concept, physics, and technology behind it. Where if you go the usual way, where you go out and buy a cheap little quad-copter for 30$ and mess around with it then u figure out what it can do and you just buy a bigger more powerfully version. i wanted to understand things from a mathematical point, how does each motor actually work to make the craft do one thing or another, once i understood that figuring out the remote control was a walk in the park because virtually each stick responds to one or two motors. ill go more into those details later.
Well i was hoping to provide you with the list of parts in this post but it seems like it took on project approach theory instead.
So next post will be the bill of materials i promise
So for that i will show you what version one of the drone looked like.
and since we are on theory.
Let me tell you one golden rule that i have seemed to have broken when i started out with this project. DO NOT CHEAP OUT.
90% of all the issues i have had is because i went cheap and purchased all the cheapest products i could find thinking that in this field it didn't really matter.
SLAP IN THE FACE
It does not matter what it is that you are into, if you cheap out, guess what kind of result you will have????
(more on results later, enjoy the pictures)
