# 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 atleast 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 ## Images ![](../assets/result.jpg) ![](../assets/result2.jpg) ![](../assets/result1.jpg) [last image credits](https://gareth-morrison.squarespace.com/drg) ## Drawing the drone I have a few concept images above and this is the result my drawings. ![alt text](IMG_7688.jpg) ![alt text](IMG_7686-min.jpg) ![alt text](IMG_7712-min.jpg) ![alt text](IMG_7711-min.jpg) 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 thirth image. ## Designing the drone When desigining 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 automaticly scales when I change one parameter. ## Designing paramemtricly Designing parametricly is very hard because every constraint needs to be perfect. Otherwise when changing lengths the design will fold into itself like this. ![alt text](image.png) I've spend one day getting the constraints perfect for the sketch so it scales well with everything.
