Drone Work #5 Soldering

We began to put the pieces together

the propeller may need some reprinting

attached wires

 were the board would be

attaching wires to the board

when flipped, is the missing piece from last post

problems when building:
mistakes were made when attaching wires. During the attempt at rectify the problem, the board began to smoke, it is possible but unlikely that the board may not work. more info to come soon

Drone Work #4

 New things to look at:

 the controller for the drone

A bit of confusion:
We come across a roadblock to our project, it turns out that we are missing the Power distribution board. We looked at a tutorial to see how it was built, and noticed the missing part

Drone Work #3 - More Stuff

A closer look at the motors...

...acquired new soldering iron...

 ...and how the drone would look like

Drone Work #2

The parts have been 3D printed again

 Now that the parts are the right size, we went to Ace to buy screws.

A few more parts have tto be 3D printed though

drone work #1

 The Group was not satisfied with the design

 Used parts for 3d printer's new measurements

 propellers

Post update

Quite a dew things happened since the last post but at the same time not much.

Drone Parts Received
Last week the last piece to the drone(the motor) finally came through the mail, Assembling starts today


Ty Surprise
Ty has 3d printed a small miniature skeleton for the drone,

Welcome!

          Hello! This blog is going to be following and documenting the design and building process of creating a drone from scratch. Our group is composed of students from Cardinal Stritch's S.T.E.A.M. Club (Science, technology, engineering, art, and math club).

          We have backgrounds in 3-D modeling and printing, creating apps, robotics, and general coding. This is why we wanted to create a drone! A drone is something physical that we can print and incorporate robotics, coding, design, and more.

          Who are we?
Brooke Simonson - Junior, Computer Science and Digital Media major
Ty Carpenter - Junior, Computer Science and Digital Media major
Ceasar Vidal-Rosas - Senior, Computer Science major

          Right now we are in the process of ordering the parts (Brushless motors, ESC's (electronic speed controls), controllers, etc.). Hopefully, we will have more to show soon!
