Quadcopter with Raspberry Pi Camera

Former Member over 12 years ago

I just finished my new Quadcopter and on the first flight I tested the Raspberry Pi Camera (1080p @ 30fps) vs my old 808 keychain cam.

( Sorry for the shaky video! The quad is not "PID tuned" yet. (My first flight with this quad). )

Congatulations! The video with Rasberry Pi is much better.

Very cool. Are you using the Pi for the camera module only or does it have other responsibilities on the copter? Also, is this a kit or did you design the copter from the ground up? I really like your project and the comparative video! Thanks for sharing this with us!

Well done.
Fairly brave flying in that field ..it would be rather hard to find if it didn't return as planned.

I have to stop watching because I was all set to buy a multi-rotor and something else came up ....
Pi is a perfect platform to record and do downlinking of realtime video..

You have a point there ;-) crops are a little high right now. :-)

For the same reason I have equipped my quad with a 433 MHz telemetry link that sends GPS coordinates and other data back to my computer during the flight.
I'm using the following telemetry hardware http://www.rctimer.com/product_832.html

Good idea Jorgen.
I'll have to remember that if I ever manage to getting one.

Thanks
