Let’s Build an Open Source Quadcopter – Part 1

[tps_title]CONCLUSIONS[/tps_title]

Well, for now we will stop here: in the next installment we will finish the discussion on the subject by explaining the commands and by completing the quadcopter’s hardware, in addition to dealing with the test and the maiden flight. We will end then by talking about the management modes from smartphone.

 

Flight glossary

 

fig a

 

PITCH: it represents the pitching, that is to say the oscillation on the transverse axis.

ROLL: also said rolling, it is the term used to define the rotation of the model on its longitudinal axis.

YAW: the movement around the yaw axis, that is to say the rotation of the model on its vertical axis.

BLADE PITCH: it indicates the inclination of the propeller’s blade with respect to the rotation plane.

CLASS: it indicates the category the quadcopter belongs to, that is identified from the transverse distance between two engines (expressed in millimeters).

ESC: the acronym of electronic speed controller, that is to say the power driver for the brushless engines.

BEC: the acronym of battery eliminator circuit, it indicates that the ESC is supplied with an internal voltage regulator.

PDB: the acronym of power distribution board, that is to say the printed circuit board that is used for bringing the battery power to all the ESCs.

MODE2: the remote control’s usage mode, with gas and yaw and the left and pitch and roll on the right.

MODE1: the remote control’s usage mode, with gas and yaw and the right and pitch and roll on the left.

BIND: it indicates the association between the remote control and the receiver as in the RC radio equipment.

PID: it indicates the triad formed by the proportional, integrative and derivative parameters of a control.
