Inverters are high-power electronic devices that adapt the frequency of a voltage as desired, in fractions of a second. Today a wide variety of very specialized small inverters are used for specific application areas. This might soon be a thing of the past, thanks to Tapas, a new universal inverter that was developed by experts…
Annular Innovation has just launched a Kickstarter campaign for its innovative Whisper Drone. This new kind of machine, instead of the typical hive-like sound of drones, produces the whoosh of air passing through a vent. “Hello Kickstarter community. My name is Derek Schwartz, founder of Annular Innovation, and I believe I have built a small…
If you enjoy flying quadcopters, for sure you’ll appreciate this project. Andi2345 has shared the guidelines to build a drone that streams 3D video and thanks to goggles you can feel like you are actually in the cockpit. This small and lowcost drone is perfect for indoor exploring. The quadcopter uses two cameras kept in sync with a sync separator IC…
The mashup of toy and hobby grade components is giving rise to the concept of “frankendrones” that combine the low cost of toy hardware with key upgrades from the hobby realm. Quadcopter blogger garagedrone has posted a roundup of modifications made to the Bayangtoys X16, a $99 quadcopter which is becoming popular in the scene….
Let’s complete the construction of our aircraft and test it. Now that you have physically created the quadcopter – according to the indications supplied in the first installment of this article (published here) – you may move on to the operational stages, and see as a first thing the commands available for our…
A high performance multirotor copter that may be created by starting from a premade base and an Arduino Mega based board, that may receive the commands from a model aircraft’s remote control, and that supports telemetry via smartphones. Nowadays most people call “drone” something that is, actually, a multicopter whose most common form…
A custom, affordable, open source quadcopter for the masses! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY4Q3tGOv-o “The idea all started when we were trying to get into the hobby of quadcoptering (I made that up!). Our problem was that there were no affordable quadcopters that were open source or easy to fly. There was the DJI Phantom (easy to fly…
