Documentation¶
The internet is full of resources, but they can be rather overwhelming. Therefore, here is a collection of interesting resources:
- How to make a Drone: Presentation by Evert, given during the workshop. 54 slides.
- The Beginner’s Guide to Multicopters (Polakium Engineering): pdf, 19 pages. Ignore all the stuff about flight controllers.
- Arducopter wiki: Contains some generic info about drones too.
- Navio2 wiki: Specifically about the Navio2. Sometimes confusing. The forums are rather responsive.
Shops¶
There are a lot of shops to get spare parts. Here are some of more popular ones, and comments for each one:
- Hobbyking: Cheapest of them all. Has a number of different warehouses around the world. If you wait long enough while looking at a product, they may suggest an even lower price (with a warning that it won’t appear again – it will).
- Altigator: Rather expensive, but based in Belgium so shipping is cheaper/faster.
- MHM Modellbau: Random shop in Germany, where the frame and landing gear is bought.
Apart from this, Raspberry Pi’s and Navio stuff is bought from the usual places.
