Project Development
Assignment:
Complete your final project & tracking your progress.
Project Overview
My Final project is to make a an RC flying car which is a combination of a drone and a RC Car, the idea is to use the remote to switch between them, once is in the drone mode and the switch to the RC car mode. the project will have two sections top and bottom, the top section will be made of a lasercut plywood X - configuration drone, and the bottom side is the RC Car one, will contain a compartment holding the flying car components, such as the battery, the wheels and the PCB. What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?
Completed Tasks
Laser cutting for the top side3D printing of the bottom side
electronics Design
soldering ESCs to the board
soldering the Motors to ESCs
switching mechanism between drone and rc mode
Remaining Tasks
Testing the Mechanism with RelayRemanufacturing the Board
Laser Cutting the gears
Assembling everything together
Multiwii software setup and Configuration
What has worked? What hasn’t?
What is working
The Board is workingDrone mode working seperatly
RC Mode working Seperatlly
What is not working
The switching mechanism between drone and RC mode.What questions need to be resolved?
Will the drone would be able to fly with all the weight?
will it be able to move fast?
Does it have the Ability to steer?
How long can it operate?
Will it be able switch modes ?
What have you learned?
How to rapidly prototype a project from an Idea to design to manufacturing and finally testing. the idea being having something novel or something that i want to do, using the gained knowledge in Electronics design, 2D and 3D design and other aspects into the manufacturing stage, whether its laser cutting, cnc machining or 3d printing to manufacture the product. Wire management and keeping everything organized can save you a lot of time, especially when we are testing.
