Build log
- 2013-11-20 put AeroQuad in case and played around with it a bit Mac and Linux version of AeroQuad Configurator lack a bit
- 2013-11-23 assembled body, screwed motors on with 16x M3 (~6mm) will need some more of those
- 2013-11-26 charged batteries, added battery strap and receiver and wired it up with 10 wire Dupont cable
- 2013-11-27 battery monitor leads (and header for LEDs) added drilled/routed a hole in top of case for jumper leads
- 2013-12-04 XT60 wired and soldered to power distribution board
- 2013-12-07 soldered and wired 8x 3.5mm gold bullet connectors, installed ESCs, soldered 6 pin micro JST to GPS
- 2013-12-11 added 4 pin micro JST to XRF module and added 2 front and 2 rear LEDs
- 2013-12-15 inserted TX installed props for first time, created case for XRF
- 2013-12-21 new rear end frame upgraded fixation of LEDs
- 2013-12-22 more zip-ties and some housing tests
- 2013-12-26 replaced some motors, started 3D printing first leg
- 2013-12-27 printing 2 more legs, bought 20mm M4s RVS nuts and bolts have to saw/dremel a bit off added battery wire containment strap
- 2013-12-28 switched blue LED with a green one + 22K Ohm resistor in RX. finished quad legs, changed two arms and printed a non-fitting FPV thing
- 2013-12-29 replaced another arm, those Firefly ones are flimsy this one broke after I killed throttle to not fly into myself at max 70 cm up
Flight log
- 2013-12-15 maiden flight .. second flight went too high, crashed from 6m and broke frame
- 2013-12-22 small flight test in the dark, too windy to check at altitude but all controls seem to work fine :)
- 2013-12-26 major imbalance on first two test flights, second and third night flight went mostly great though . .
- 2013-12-27 indoor flight tests worked like a charm very stable .. battery empty indication problematic
- 2013-12-28 crash on first attempt, stable flight indoor still .. might have to reconfig on ground instead of in space
- 2013-12-29 emptied one battery indoor by doing a simple parcour .. broke another Firefly arm after falling ~60 cm on carpet :/
T B A
FPV cam mount http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:77814 based or just something simple?
Outer shell to make it more crashworthy (probably not necessary)
Ultrasonic Range Finder (LV EZ-0)
Bigger, better and at-least less fragile in the arms department
Brushless Gimbal thing and Camera
GSM/4G stuff for long range?
Links
Some more useful reading
Other local flying projects
Social
Useful
Lessons learned
Check all your screws between all flights
- lost 4 on maiden flight and 2 later on
- possibly lost a prop that way (first crash)
Flame Wheel clones have pretty fragile arms don't buy the Firefly ones!
Overcompensation is a bitch
Being in a zen state helps
I can do this
Flying is fun
