QuadCop: Final Construction Pics

Here are a few more final construction pics, the rest will just be installing sensors.  Ill post a final pic pointing out the various parts used from the kit.

In the morning I will be posting my github, code, and flow charts.

 

I am working on a bug with the 3 axis magnometer before I can take another test flight.

 

PiCam installed in the bottom head with raspberry PI model B hot glued to the side.  This allows the head to rotate without twisting the cable.  A power cable will go to the Pi but it will be long and thin enough to allow the rotation.

A small foam bearing (bottom) was put in place to stop the wobble.

Needs a bit of adjusting, the Raspberry PI pulls it down to one side so I need some weight to balance it.

A video of much better head movement!

    Hi John, just like the heli video. This movement seems perfect. A note I though about the possible issue of the antenna... Seeing the final proportions of the object it seems that the external antenna…

    Hi John,

     

    just like the heli video. This movement seems perfect.

     

    A note I though about the possible issue of the antenna... Seeing the final proportions of the object it seems that the external antenna position maybe not so problematic as though.
