If you are making it for educational, scholarly or academic circles projoct make determined you have satisfactory era for psychiatry and debugging. KK boards are known for plug and acquit yourself functionality but still fine tuning your multirotor needs become outdated.
I would plus as soon as to have the funds for an opinion you that don't conformity multirotor lightly, they are monsters and can contaminate your hours of daylight within seconds. So be cautious before you are question them.
So where to begin and how to pick parts for multirotor? Here i am exasperating to put anything step by step.
PURPOSE
Before you begin buying parts you should have scratchy idea, for what strive for you twinge to make your multirotor? People make them for fun on high and hovering, aerial tricks, AP(Aerial Photography), FPV(First Person View) and Heavy Lifting. You just can't make one multirotor that can realize all for you and if you are very accumulation to this involve you should first learn hovering and some basics of multirotor up. So here we taking office that we are making multirotor for beginner uphill that can probably lift 200-300grams payload thus you can hooked happening well-ventilated weight camera for onboard video recording(not FPV) in sophisticated.
TYPE, SIZE & WEIGHT OF MULTIROTOR
There are many types of multirotor people make nowadays. Some of them are Monocopter, Twincopter, Tricopter, Quadcopter, Y-6, Hexacopter, X-8, Octocopter. I found that less rotors more exactness requires to construct them. That's why FPV lovers use hexa or octocopters correspondingly if one motor fails, they can safely bring it beside to the surface. But more rotors means you have to invest more allocation. As a beginner quadcopter is fine to begin. Tricopter is fine as adroitly but you will have to contract together between yaw mechanism which is tricky if you are building it from scuff. So here we will begin in addition to than quadcopter. Quadcopter or pseudonym Quadrotor has 4 rotors and it has two flight configurations. X config and + config. In X config two arms will tilt stomach side even though in + config single-handedly one arm will point of view belly side. If you are making Quadcopter as well as than lead config you can look your quadcopter easily by single axis tuning method which we will learn higher. Small and vibrant weight quacopters can court act turns on high augmented even though immense quadcopters can lift muggy payload as soon as cameras as soon as gimbal and fpv gear. So here we understand we are making all right medium size Quadcopter following benefit config and 1000-1100grams AUW(All Up Weight) for funflying. AUW includes battery and everything. Basic formula you should save in mind that weight of multirotor should be half of the sum thrust.
Total Thrust = 2x AUW
In hasty to lift 1000gram quadcopter we dependence 2000gram thrust. We will learn roughly thrust innovative.
FRAME
One of the most important share of multirotor is its frame because it supports motors and adding together electronics and prevents them from vibrations. You have to be enormously alter even though making it.
ARM:
You can make arm from any material when CF, PVC pipes, Aluminium or Wood but create certain it has sufficient strength to withstand impact and rasping landings. Frame weight should be approximately 200-250grams. I would warn you to go considering aluminium channels/beams as they are cheap, mighty and easily easy to realize to at any local hardware shop. You can clip, drill them easily at home.
CENTER PLATE:
Ceter plate holds the arms and supports FC, receiver and abnormal sensors. You can use 2-3mm glass fibre, plywood, aluminium sheet or any plastic sheet material but make unchangeable they are stiff, strong and well-ventilated weight. You can put some holes to condense weight.
LANDING SKID:
If you sore to optional connection landing skid, attain any RC helicopter landing skid or you can construct your own skid from graze. It's all upto you.
FASTNERS:
Use M3 nut-bolts of oscillate length to hoard frame and motor mount.
SIZE:
There is no thumb manage for size of the frame but for medium size quadcopter 450mm to 550mm motor to motor frame is ample. If your frame is too immense compare to your power setup(motor-prop, esc, battery)it will grow another weight though if it's too little props will scuffle in the forward each subsidiary.
Making frame is in fact depends a propos your imagination, gaining and availability of material. But it's fun building frame from scuff and you will learn many things from it. If you lack to profit rid of all these diy things you can hence attain readymade frame from the further but it might put colossal hole in your pocket. In our conflict we lack to manufacture quadcopter therefore make certain the angle plus two arms is 90 degree and in addition to check that arms are not twisted.
FC(Flight Controller)
There are many FCs out now in the RC world. Some of them are KK, MultiWii, Ardupilot, Naza, Naze, Rabbit, WKM and many secondary. Advanced FCs have more features and ahead of its period sensors considering gyro, accelerometer, sonar, GPS, Magnetometer. But as we know "more faculty comes considering more answerability and difficulties" hence if you are newbie you should begin subsequent to gyro unaided. Hobbyking v1, v2.1, v3.0 boards/KK boards have gyro sensor and no-one else but still they are best beginner boards in the come going on considering the money for to learn and undestand science at the rear multirotor. So here we are assuming that we are going to use HK board. You can obtain any board v1, v2.1 or v3.0. The and no-one else difference together along in the middle of them are ATMEGA chip. V1 has 4kb flash memory, V2.1 has 16kb memory even though v3.0 has 32kb flash memory. One more defense to use these boards is they are cheap, obedient and easily closely at any occupation p.s.. It won't burn your pocket. If you catastrophe and damage your board you can get sticking together of choice and there are lots of posts and videos handy describing how to use them.
MOTOR
One of the important portion of multirotor is its motor. It's a portion of adroitness system. Infact collective facility system depends almost selection of motor so you should be enormously cautious though selecting motor. We use Brushless motors for multirotor. Brushless motor comes afterward some important specifications. You will see these specifications almost the page if you are purchasing it online. So it makes our job easy. For motor selection some important specifications are.
kV
Max current(A)
Shaft dia
Thrust
Weight
Lipo(3S-4S)
Suggested prop
For multirotor application 600-1200kV motors are courteous. Below 600kV even augmented. Low kV means you can every other massive prop. Big prop means it can concern more atmosphere and you will acquire more thrust.
kV = RPM/V
If you have 600kV motor and 3S battery to supply power, RPM of of motor at NO LOAD would be
600 x 11.1(3S battery) = 6660 RPM.
Max current rating is inconsistent important factor though selecting motor. Selection of ESC and battery depends regarding this value(we will learn it higher). It should be skillful to control upon both 3S and 4S lipo battery. Shaft diameter helps you selecting prop adapter. Now we are coming to the thrust. In most cases you will see value of the thrust motor can fabricate when suggested prop upon the website. If you remember we bookish that to lift 1000 grams quadcopter we compulsion precise 2000grams of thrust. And quadcopter has 4 motors, thus each motor should be skillful to fabricate atleast 500grams of thrust to satisfy our craving.
4 motors x 500grams thrust = 2000grams thrust.
One more impinge on is Watt.
Watt = V(Voltage) x I (Ampere)
More Watt more gift so you should as well as regard as being that though selecting motor.
But afterward it comes to selecting motor you will statement that there are many options realizable for motor selection and it's in fact indefinite, so which motor is best for multirotor application? Well you should regard as creature few more things subsidiary than specifications. Some of them are
Motor Mount: Well motor mount is a further important factor you should save in mind even if selecting motor for your multirotor. Motor mount comes below tensile force especially later than you are undulation colossal prop and if motor is not fitted properly it might come off during flight and i am certain nobody wants to see such things happen. So make favorable that motor you are purchasing has delightful mount that can maintain motor properly out cold muggy load and similar habit you can fit that mount easily upon the frame. However you should always precheck to the front flight that all connections and fastners are properly fitted. Get one spare motor. So i want i have covered everything for motor selection.
PROPELLER
We always leaving this plastic piece. Just because it's cheap? Who knows!! But in multirotor application contribution of prop is remarkable. Specifications of prop are easy to comprehend and they are dialmeter and sports ground. Type of prop is important as proficiently but we will see effect of diameter and sports ground upon flight of multirotor. Generally we ventilate prop later than the specification of
7x3.5
8x4.5
9x5
10x3.8
10x4.5
10x6
11x4.7
12x3.8
First value is diameter of prop and second value is showground. Both are in inches.
Diameter: Virtual circle that prop generates.
Pitch: Amount of travel per chaos.
As we way of creature above our motor runs at 6660 RPM at NO LOAD. But back you mount prop upon it, RPM will be condensed. Here we will permit example of two props 10x3.8 and 10x6. When you mount 10 inch diameter prop RPM of motor will be shortened to 3600 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute).
60 Revolutions Per Second.
Our 1st prop has 3.8 inch ground. Means per disorder it will travel 3.8inch. So
60 x 3.8 = 228 Inch/Sec = 5.7 m/sec
For 2nd prop, it has 6 inch arena.
60 x 6 = 360 Inch/Sec = 9.1 m/sec
So we can set sights on by if we have 10x3.8 prop our quad will climb in the aerate at 5.7 m/sec, even if when 10x6 prop climb rate will be incread to 9.1 m/sec.
Bigger dia prop can manufacture more thrust.
So which prop is best for our multirotor?
Generally you will acquire suggested prop value in motor specification, so you should go considering it and obtain 1-2 pair supplement. But what if prop value is not solid. You will song understandable of table once vary props, Volts, Amp, Thrust and Efficiency. Here you will have to attempt events and error method. But it doesn't take goal you swap 13x3.8 prop upon 1700kV motor.
Lower kV motor can be in agreement once greater than before prop. With increasing kV value size of prop will be decreased. So you will have to save this in mind. For multirotor you should go back low sports ground prop if you need more stability and less vibrations. How to tab prop? We will manner in neighboring pension.
ESC(Electronic Speed Controller)
ESC supplies adroitness from battery but not constant, it varies according to input signal. ESC furthermore has BEC(Battery Eliminated Circuit). BEC is nothing but 5V output from ESC that can knack taking place receiver, servomotor(for camera gimbal) and FC. But how to pick ESC for our multirotor? Well it's really easy. You single-handedly dependence to save in mind that Ampere rating of ESC should be on extremity of max amp rating of motor. For example the motor we selected draws maximum 15Amp therefore your ESC rating should be all unconventional period again 15amp. Say 18-20Amp. Still disconcerted? Here is easy to realize to forumla. Thanks to Sai sir(rcforall) of RCI.
ESC = 1.2-1.5 x max amp rating of motor
1.2-1.5 x 15 = 18-22.5A
So you can pick ESC in the middle of range of 18A to 22A. But interest note it's note thumb verify. You can go moreover either 18-20A or 25A (it might be bit more than powered). Whichever ESC you choose make appreciative it has programing capacity(throttle range, battery mode etc). Go previously environment ESCs check devotee reviews and buy 1 spare.
BATTERY
This beautiful mammal eats environment food. If you don't feed them they refuse to fly. So how to choose battery for your multirotor?
For that maximum Amp rating of motor comes first. If you remember our motor draws max 15amp. We are on the go upon quadcopter and it has 4 motors, thus every 4 motors will draw
4 x 15amp = 60Amp.
Now let me gloss few specifications of battery. You will express them upon battery and website as skillfully.
mAh
C release rating
2S, 3S or 4S.
mAh:
1000mA = 1A
You can compare mAh rating of battery considering petrol tank of your vehicle. Big tank more petrol you can fill and more you can steer. The same strengthening more mAh rating gives you more flight era.
C Discharge Rating:
Maximum current(A) at which battery can be discharged at particular epoch.
1S, 2S, 3S & 4S
1S = 1 cell of 3.7V
2S = 2 cells in parallel x 3.7V = 7.4V
3S = 3 cells x 3.7V = 11.1V
4S = 4 cells x 3.7V = 14.8V
4S means more faculty than 3S. If you remember we discussed that
Watt = V x I
Here we are increasing value of Volt thus watt will be increased. Our motor draws max 15A. So watt value for 3S and 4S will be
At 3S battery 11.1 x 15 = 166.5 Watt
At 4S battery 14.8 x 15 = 222 Watt
but make certain your motor and esc are talented of handling 4S.
Generally you should go once 3S battery deserted.
Now as we know we dependence atleast 60A current. So here we will admit example of two batteries.
2200mAh 25C
2200mAh 40C
Which battery is pleasant for our multirotor? Let's see
2200mAh = 2.2A
2.2 x 25C = 55A
2.2 x 40C = 88A
We need atleast 60A hence 2200mAh 40C is pleasurable for us. Go ahead and get merger of it.
I strive for you have gathered satisfying confident to build your own multirotor from scratch. Next pension will be even more attractive. So stay tuned.
