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
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

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

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!
