# 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
|
|
|

## 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 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.
|
|

|
|
I've spend one day getting the constraints perfect for the sketch so it scales well with everything. |
