Learn the principles behind building and flying drones, using components like BLDC motors and speed controllers, AeroGCS ground software, Ardupilot and PX4 open-source flight stacks, along with examples and best practicesKey FeaturesExplore multicopter physics (roll, pitch, and yaw) and 3D dynamics for defining a drone's flightOptimize drone performance with powerful propulsion systems such as BLDS motors, lipo batteries, and ESCsBuild a custom survey drone to learn vital aspects of drone assembly, configuration, testing, and maiden flightPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook Description
Unlock opportunities in the growing UAV market where drones are revolutionizing diverse sectors like agriculture, surveying, and the military. This book walks you through the complete drone development life cycle, from concept to pilot stage, prototyping, and ultimately, a market-ready product, with domain-specific applications.
Starting with an introduction to unmanned systems, principles of drone flight, and it's motion in 3D space, this book shows you how to design a propulsion system tailored to your drone's needs. You'll then get hands on with the entire drone assembly process, covering airframe, components, and wiring. Next, you'll enhance drone connectivity and navigation with communication devices, such as RFD900, Herelink, and H-16 Pro GCS and hardware protocols like I2C, and UART. The book also guides you in using the open-source flight software Ardupilot and PX4, along with firmware architecture and PID tuning for advanced control. Additionally, you'll go learn about AeroGCS, Mission Planner, and UGCS ground control stations, tips for maiden flight and log analysis for optimizing performance while building a custom survey drone with a 60-min endurance, 10km range, live video feed, and photography options.
By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with all you need to build and fly your own drones and UAVs.What you will learnExplore the design principles for multicopter flight and its physics of motionGrasp terminologies associated with UAV flight systemsGain an in-depth understanding of power trail, communication, and propulsion of a droneStudy IMUs and sensors in flight controllers, and protocols like I2C, SPI, and MAvlinkFamiliarize yourself with open-source drone flight stacks and ground control station softwareUnderstand the control law used in multicopter and the basics of PIDsDelve into modes of flying with remote controllers and analysis of flight logsWho this book is for
