Communicating Between Raspberry Pi, Tensorflow, Flight Controller and with Mavlink, Pi cam2

Today, I am adding features to my autonomous drone from the last video. I am adding image recognition for the purpose of controlling the drone via what it sees. I still had my raspberry pi zero, but it wasn’t powerful enough nor could it accommodate the raspberry pi module camera. So, I used a raspberry pi 4 to operate tensorflow object recognition with the camera. For this current phase, I am still using my old raspberry pi 0 which has mavlink installed, so it could communicate to the flight controller. Of course, later, I will only be using the raspberry pi 4 for both image recognition and mavlink.
It works as follows. There are two programs running. Program 1 is on the pi 4, running ten...

docs.google.com/document/d/1ljtCwWoEDmQeklmko9HgdAS6F-bylm6ssP7pVqEuffw/edit?usp=sharing Hello everyone. In this video, I made great progress on my fully autonomous computer controlled drone. In my last video, I explained how I was having trouble with my propeller orientation. I figured out that problem and had to re-configure all of my motors. I followed this post on the ardupilot forums about...

Hello everyone. In this video, I will be showing you a more advanced version of my claw. Last video, I used a breadboard as well as an external power source. In this video, I soldered everything onto a proto board. This is because a breadboard is not very robust: the wires are simply hand placed in and can simply fall out, especially on a drone that vibrates. A proto board on the other hand has...

Hello everyone, today, I will show you how I can control a claw using a flight controller and a raspberry pi. This video will show you what I can do. I did this by repurposing the buzzer pin on my flight controller. I soldered on 2 wires and I configured my flight controller using betaflight to let me control the signal leaving the buzzer. I attached the 2 wires coming out of my flight controll...

Overpowered drone breaks arm off lifting 2kg payload, and other useful information (speedybee f405)

Hello everyone, today I will talk about the following topics. First, what is the maximum payload that my drones can lift? Second, what are the payload attachment considerations. Third, flight mode considerations. First: maximum payload. My first flight consisted of testing the payload capacity of my drone using a rope and a 2 kilogram load. THe load made one of the arms snap likely because the ...

Troubleshooting your ESC using multimeter (testing if ESC is broken)

Hello everyone. In this video, I will explain one way to tell if your ESC is broken. For this, you are going to need a multimeter. First, unplug all power to the ESC and FC. Second, set the multimeter to the continuity function. It is the one with the volume symbol. Then you are going to place one probe tip on the power entrance pad and the other one on one of your engine pads. Then, you are go...

It’s been a while since I last flew my drone because when I was trying to connect a new drone to my remote control, I messed up my settings and I lost control of my old drone. Eventually I got them both connected and ready to fly again. On screen are the settings I used to flash my elrs receiver or transmitter. I didn’t fly my drones outside because they would have exceeded the weight limit wit...

Hello everyone. Making this video, I learned a lot. The frame of a drone has to be something to think about. My old frames had a shape that wasn’t perfect. It was a x shape with the flight controller’s “forward side” lined up to an arm. I think the positions of the motors relative to the Flight controller led the FC to get confused and be unbalanced. This new frame looks the same except that I ...

First real flight of quadcopter drone

Просмотров 103Год назад

Hello everyone. This is the first time I have flown a drone outside. I had to go to a park far from airports and heliports in order to comply with federal law. Since it’s under 250g, I didn't need to register it. In between my last video and now, I have built a new drone because my old one sustained too much damage. It doesn't have many changes except that it has a battery holder. I bought long...

Hello everyone. This is the third video of my drone building. There were improvements in many disciplines. Mechanical, electrical and software. On the mechanical side, first I increased the diameter of my 4 central mounting holes to provide clearance for the M2 mounting screws used to attach the speedy f405 stack (flight controller and electronic speed controller). Second, I followed the recomm...

Hello everyone. This is the second step in building my drone. First I had to build a bigger frame to accommodate the wiring. I designed the frame on tinkercad. The set of four holes at the tip of each arm are used to attach the motors. Velocity is the name of the drone but the letters serve to reduce weight. This is a video of the frame being printed.

Hello. This is the first step in building my drone. This drone uses brushless motors from e-max and the f405 v3 flight controller and ESC stack from speedy bee. I had to solder on the 4 motors onto the ESC. Once that was done, I had to download the appropriate firmware and program the flight controller using Betaflight Configurator. I designed this frame using tinkercad and had it 3D printed. I...

Hello everyone, this is the 5th version of my calculator. This is the same calculator with the 2 character 7 segment LED display and 16 key keypad shown previously but it has an improvement. This calculator can operate while disconnected from the computer. In order to accomplish this, I had to do 2 things. First, I had to supply external power because I disconnected the USB. I connected 3.3V to...
