# Idea final project

## Introduction
I wanted to combine 2 random objects that interest me into one project. A drone and a jumbotron. So im gonna make a drone with multiple screens on it that could for example be used for traffic control or entertainment purposes.

## What does the drone do?
The drone needs to be able to fly for at least 20 minutes. It needs 2 screens on both side so it can display images or video. I wanna program the drone myself so I know how drones work and how they keep themselves upright.

## Drone Requirements
### basic requirements
* 2 screens
* Speakers
* 20 min flight time
* custom microcontroller pcb that controls the drones and screens
* 50 meter range from controller

### Sensors
* GPS
* IMU/rotation sensor
* Read voltage from battery know battery percentage

### Requirements when far ahead
* Docking station
* Automatic docking
* Automatic pathing 
* Design own electronic speed controllers

## Drawing the drone

I have a few concept images above and this is the result my drawings.

In the second picture you can see that I wanted to make the drone 30 cm in length. But then I looked at the prices for bigger batteries and it started to get super expansive real fast. So I decided to make it smaller. So now im planning on making a drone 10 cm in length. Im still going for the design in the third image. You can also kinda see that I got my inspiration from the third concept art image. And im giving my on twist on it.

## Designing the drone
When designing the drone I wanted to do everything parametric. So im going to try to use as much variables as possible and make everything depend on each other so everything automatically scales when I change one parameter.

### Designing the drone parametrically
Designing parametrically is very hard because every constraint needs to be perfect. Otherwise when changing lengths the design will fold into itself like this.

I've spend one day getting the constraints perfect for the sketch so it scales well with everything. And this is the result of that. When I change one parameter in the variable menu the entire body scales with it. This is the final result of my design. I've made the body myself and I've imported the components from grabcad. So I had more time for blender and Onshape and so I could visualize it better.

### Rendering 
I've also made a render of the drone to visualize it for other people. Making this was kind of a pain because blender is a gigantic program. You can see my [docs](../Assignments/week_2_computer_aided_design_(cad)/drone_designing.md) to see where I struggled. This is my final result of the render. I've wished it looked nicer but I didn't have enough time to dive deeper into blender.

## Feedback from Bas and Henk
I've gotten some feedback on my design and about the use of screens. Maybe I should only use speakers or use LED matrixes. After thinking about it I think im going to give LED matrixes a spin.
