Mini Quadcopter

carmelito

I have been part of RC hobby for many years, flying RC planes to start with, and now mostly flying racing FPV (first person view) quadcopter. So, when I saw the "Month of Robots" theme, and looked at my parts bin, I found an old broken quadcopter, with one of the ESCs (electronic speed controllers) fried, a burnt out flight controller and a broken frame, which meant I had to design a 3D printed frame. For this build I am using the STM32F303 based flight Controller, also called the Emax F3 Femto in RC lingo.

Here are the steps to follow to complete the build

 

3D print the Frame:

For the frame I used Autodesk Fusion 360  to design it. The frame design is inspired by all the Alien frames out there. The old frame was a true X, which means after mounting the flight controller on this frame I have put a new PID(proportional integral derivative) tune on the quadcopter, which you can find in the dump file and the screen shots below.

image

For 3D printing, I used eSUN PLA + 1.75 mm filament. A suggestion here is to use atleast 60% infill with a hexagonal infill pattern to give the frame required strength to withstand crashes..

For the top, there are two versions , one for line of sight flight and the other one to install an FPV camera (first person view)

Solder the ESCs to the Motors

For the motors, I am using 1104 5250kv Brushless Motor, and 6A BLHeli 2S Plug-In ESCs, these do not come soldered to each other as you see in the picture below, you will have to solder the motor wires to one end of the ESC and the other end to connect to the flight controller. Don’t worry about the motor direction for now , as we can change the motor direction in a software called BLHeli – Configurator , more details below

Flashing the Flight Controller using Betaflight

Before you start with soldering the ESC to the flight controller it is a good idea to check if you have Betaflight/Cleanflight  is flashed on your board, the  STM32F303 based flight Controller comes with an old version of Cleanflight, which means we need to flash a newer version of Betaflight, in my case I am using 3.3.2, the HEX file is attached below. So once you install Betaflight using the Chrome app extension, you can go to the Firmware flasher section , solder/short the boot pads on the flight controller which put the board in DFU mode and hit the Flash firmware button as you see in the screenshot below.

image

What is Betaflight? - Betaflight - Configurator  is a crossplatform configuration tool for Betaflight flight control system which allows you to configure your aircraft via a GUI. For more info check out - https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator

 

Once you have successfully flashed the board, reconnect the board and you should see quadcopter move, as you move your board, as you see in the picture below.

Here are the features and specs of the STM32F303 based flight Controller

  • STM32F303 CPU
  • MPU9250 accelerometer/gyro/compass (connected via SPI)
  • 2-6S LiPo battery
  • Integrated 5V/3A BEC
  • Dedicated Sbus and serial RX with 5v ,Spektrum 1024/2048, SBUS, XBUS, SumD and SumH RX with built-in inverter
  • 6Supports direct connection of 3.3v Spektrum Satellite receivers
  • Telemetry support (frsky telemetry, smartport, and HoTT telemetry)
  • Dedicated PPM receiver input
  • Buzzer support
  • Dedicated output for programmable LEDs - great for orientation, racing and night flying. (Currently mutually exclusive with the Transponder)
  • BLHeli Passthrough ready（connect BLheli suite）
  • 2.0 mm pin headers
  • 80A Current tolerance (PDB)
  • Integrated Battery monitoring
  • Use all the features all the time; e.g. Connect your USB + SmartPort + SBus + LED Strip + Battery Monitoring + 4 motors - all at the same time!
  • 20x20mm board
  • Weight 2.2 grams
  • UART3 （RX3）-Use for Spektrum Satellite RX, Spektrum 1024/2048, SBUS, XBUS, SumD and SumH RX, etc.
  • UART2/PPM - Serial RX or PPM RX + Telemetry
  • Use RX2 as PPM receiver. Use TX2 as telemetry output when using PPM.
  • Info from - https://emax-usa.com/emx-fc-1710-f3-femto-flight-controller.html

 

Connecting the  ESCs to the Flight controller

Solder ESC to the flight controller, and before you solder make a note of +ve and –ve on the board, a good idea if you don’t see the marking on the board is to do a continuity test using the battery pads to figure out which pads on the board are +ve and –ve.

image

Also solder a an XT30 male connector to the power pad, note depending on where you buy the flight controller it should come with a red JST RCY male connector, but I would not use it because after some use of connector, you can plug the battery in the opposite direction unknowingly and short your flight controller, I did this a couple of times and have now moved all my RC things to the XT30 connectors..

 

Here it the pin out diagram for the connections

Solder a RC receiver

In my case for radio control I am using FrSky, which mean I had to use a FrSky XM SBUS micro receiver, thi is an ultra-light receiver with 16 channels, and as the controller I am using a Taranis qx7, the yellow wire going to the FC here is the SBUS wire, here are some features of the receiver

  • Number of Channels: Up to 16CH from SBUS(CH1~CH15 for PWM, CH16 RSSI for FC
  • Operating Voltage Range:3.5~10V
  • Operating Current:20mA@5V
  • Operating Range:>600m

image

Once done bind the receiver to the transmitter aka the radio, all radio’s has different steps to bind and setup receiver. For Frsky you have a bind option in the transmitter menu, as you see in the picture below..

image

Check the Motor direction

Using Betaflight go to the motor pad and turn up each motor to check if the directions of rotation.

image

 

If the direction of the motors is wrong you will have to either de-solder  two motor wires and swap them to change the direction, of if your soldering iron is already switched off, download and install BLHeli – Configurator which is another chrome app, that reads the setup of your ESC’s and then reverse the direction if required, as you see in the screenshot below.

image

What is BLHeli – Configurator , chrome cross-platform configuration tool for BLHeli-based electronic speed controllers, for more info check out - https://github.com/blheli-configurator/blheli-configurator

 

Adding the Top plate

Now using M3 Nylon hardware pack screw the top plate to the base as you see in the picture below, also tape the ESCs to the arms and also add zip ties to secure the receiver antenna.

image

Also another suggestion is to hot glue parts that you think can vibrate and fall off , like screws/standoffs after your first few flights.. Also to secure the lipo battery to the bottom use double sided velcro and a rubber band..

 

 

Setting up switches

Now setup the switches which correspond to your radio in Betaflight to Arm the quadcopter , and to fly the quadcopter in various modes like self-stabilization, Acro. In my case, I have AUX1 which corresponds to the left most switch on the radio - Taranis qx7 setup to Arm the quadcopter and AUX2 for stabilization and Air mode. You can also setup a beeper with the quadcopter to warn you when the battery is running low and act lost model finder alarm in case the quadcopter gets stuck in tall grass.

PID tuning

Here is my PID tune from Betaflight, and this is a complex topic to explain, which could be a future blog. And also added a dump from the Betaflight CLI. Note, PIDs vary from person to person, I have set these up for a beginner for this frame design.

image

Here is the dump file, using the Betaflight CLI.

Adding an FPV camera

Now if you have observed, there is a spot in the front of the quad for a micro FPV camera system, in my case I am Caddx Beetle micro AIO FPV camera, since this is an AIO(all in one) the setup comes with the VTX attached to the camera, and we just need to provide the camera voltage.  Here are the spec of the camera I am using –

Here is a picture, of the video feed from the FPV camera, on a small FPV screen.

Here is a video of the FPV flight, after putting a new PID tune on the quadcopter
