• Project overview• Block diagram• Design challenges• Individual contributions• Project demonstration• Questions / discussion
Project Overview• Android controlled quadcopter• Bluetooth connection (~300 foot range)• GPS, compass, ultrasonic, battery monitor• Brushless DC motors with speed controllers• PWM input flight controller board for
stabilization• Waypoint navigation & auto take-off/land
Design Challenges• Stabilization• Flight controller mounting• Weight distribution• Interference• Battery management
Individual Contributions• Team Leader – Dennis Lazar• Team Member 2 – Andrew Kasha• Team Member 3 – Camille Chang• Team Member 4 – Andrew Boldt
Team Leader – Dennis Lazar• Component selection (microcontroller &
sensors)• Packaging (CAD drawings)• Software
– A/D conversions for battery voltage measurements
– Assisted Camille Chang and Andrew Boldt with other portions of code
– Debugging
Member 2 – Andrew Kasha• Component selection• Schematic design• PCB layout• PCB population• Frame construction
Member 3 – Camille Chang• Software
– Created entire Android application– Development board programming– UART Bluetooth communication with
Android device– GPS communication and data parsing– Debugging
Member 4 – Andrew Boldt• Avionics
– PWM signal for flight controller– Flight controller configuration
• Software– Ultrasonic proximity sensor– Magnetometer– PWM– Debugging
• Hardware interfacing
Project Demonstration1. An ability to determine the position of the
quadcopter using GPS2. An ability to control the copter using an Android
device over a Bluetooth interface3. An ability to automatically take-off and land4. An ability to fly-by-waypoint using GPS
coordinates5. An ability to monitor the state of battery charge
and relay back to user
