RC Quadcopter

The popularity of quadcopters is increasing rapidly due to the betterment of technology in the 21st century, there are many commercial quadcopters available in the market today, but they are not user-friendly or best suited for every use. Thus, the objective of this group project is to design and manufacture a remote-controlled quadcopter which is not only user friendly but can also be used as a base for various purposes and designs. The building process includes examining older designs, designing and testing different components, configuring a blackboard flight controller chip, and finishing the final product. The team was dedicated to innovate and create this project with the most advanced features thus bringing forward a revolutionary design. After the selection of initial design there were various steps to make it a reality. First, we had to figure out how to program and control the blackboard flight controller chip using a desktop interface. Next, we designed and printed the different 3-D parts using Solidworks. Next, the assembly process was started in which various dimensional and other errors were fixed. Following the assembly, the testing process was started during which numerous test flights were made, some of which resulted in various parts failing and being redesigned. Thus, the whole process was repeatedly followed which assured the betterment of the design in each cycle. The final product is an ideal drone designed for freight purposes and can be modified for various other uses.
