History

13/03/2013

  • X525 arrived at hackerspace.gr
  • Soldered motor contacts

TODO List

Mods

  • Add more nuts on suspension legs
  • Add rubber bumpers on suspension legs

Spare Hardware

Electrical

Mechanical


Weight target is 500g, Payload 250g, Lift 250g

  • Arduino 27g
  • esc 22g
  • motor 38g (spec)
  • propeller 7g

27+4*(22+38+7)= 295? (268 for motor + ESC)


~30/01/2013

  • Link -> WIFI
  • no gps
  • Beaglebone/linux + arduino
  • motor load ~ 7 amps @ ~ 250g lift
  • safety/testing -> glasses, net
  • regular workshop schedule -> every wednesday 7-9
  • next meetup -> 6/2
  • -> smaller quadcopter
  • budget -> ?

~Tasks

  • Beaglebone linux distribution, rt-linux & related stuff
  • Investigate existing open source DoF/quadcopter platforms
  • Investigate propeller mounts and/or motors
  • Look at quadcopter kit prices

~Ideas
