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
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.
