The Drone Build Process
Building a drone capable of autonomous package delivery was an exciting challenge. The process involved careful planning and research, facing challenges building the drone and finally testing the drone.
Flight Controller & ESC
The Flight Controller (FC) and Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) are in a stack, and it is responsible for controlling the motors and acts as the brain of the drone.
Motors
Brushless motors which provide the thrust needed for the drone's flight.
Camera
Used for real-time monitoring during flights, essential for navigation.
Receiver & Video Transmitter
The receiver communicates with the controller to receive inputs and the Video Transmitter (VTX) transmits the live video from the camera.
GPS Module
Handles autonomous navigation, allowing the drone to fly from its starting point to its destination autonomously.
Action Camera
Captures high-quality video footage during the flight for documentation and visual analysis.
Package Carrying System
Designed to securely hold and transport packages during the drone's package delivery, securely attached to the drone frame.
