List of parts¶
The list of parts is splitted in 4 categories:
- Heavy electronics: Parts dealing with high amounts of electricity, usually driving a mechanical process.
- Fine electronics: Parts dealing with low amounts of electricity, driving computational or sensing processes.
- The rest: Frame parts, landing gear, ...
- Ground equipment (not on the drone itself): Transmitter, battery bag, charger, ...
Summarized, the parts of the drone are: a DJI F450 frame, a DJI E305 (800kV) propulsion kit, a Raspberry Pi 3B and a Navio2 on top of it, all driven by a 4000mAh 4S battery.
Heavy electronics¶
- Battery: 2 x ZIPPY Compact 4000mAh 4S 25C Lipo Pack]
- ESC’s, motors, propellors: DJI E305 quadcopter propulsion set
- props are 9.4x5.0
Fine electronics¶
- Raspberry Pi 3 B for the computing part (and an microSD of 8GB)
- Flight controller (kinda): Navio2, from Emlid
- GPS/GNSS antenna: from Emlid
- Navio2 wire pack: from Emlid
- Power module: from Emlid
- RC reveicer: Quanum i8
- Some servo cables: http://mikrokopter.altigator.com/servo-extension-cable-5-cm-male-p-42072.html
Basically, we bought this combination from Emlid: https://emlid.com/shop/navio2/
Additionally, there may be an air quality sensor on the drone. The cables are kind of custom made, but the sensor itself is from Groove. The cables can be reused to get input from any analog Groove sensor.
The rest¶
- Frame: F450 (the real one, not a fake one. Also just the frame, not the full kit)
- Landing gear: F450/F550 landing gear (be advised, on a F550 this is rather bad).
- GPS mount: http://mikrokopter.altigator.com/gps-folding-mount-p-42006.html
Ground equipment¶
- Charger: IMAC B6AC V2
- LiPo bag
- RC transmitter: Quanum i8 (same as receiver)
