Terminology

 UAV: unmanned aerial vehicle


 "powered, aerial vehicle that does not carry a
human operator, uses aerodynamic forces to
provide vehicle lift" (Wikipedia)
 This include: Remote Controlled (RC) planes,
helicopters, multicopters (4, 6, 8 or more motors)
and others
 Drone
 It’s an UAV with an AutoPilot Artificial Intelligence
module added
Practice toys

 Hubsan X4  Blade Inductrix: 60€


 H107L (no camera,  Spektrum radio protocol
240mAh battery): 30€ compatible
 H107C (camera, 380mAh  FPV camera (37€) and
battery): 45€ customized 3D printed c
amera support
 Add: batteries &
 Accro mode
propellers pack
History

 RC planes/helicopter are old, why such popularity


today regarding RC mulicotpers ?
1. Flight stabilization is computer-assisted on a
multicopter: very easy to use
 Human didn’t directly control vehicle: The flight controler
board using sensors manage the vehicle level and follows
human’s instructions
2. Size and cost reduction of flight controler board and
sensors
 Arduino pro miniboard : small size cost computer
 Gyroscope: Extracted from Wii motion plus, small size and
small cost giroscope
Sensors
 Gyroscopes (3 axes)
 Mandatory sensors: Give relative level
 Used for "Acro"  flying mode
 Accelerometers (3 axes)
 Used for "angle / horizon" flying mode
 Barometer (estimate altitude)
 Used for "Keep altitude" flying mode
 Sonar
 Highly precise (centimeters) obstacle detector (smooth landing)
 Compass / magnetometer
 Used for "head free" flying mode
 GPS
 mainly useful for drone only: Allow to follow a path
 Used for "Keep position / Return to launch / Geofence/etc."  flying mode

Step 1: Fixing motors to ZMR
frame arms

 Easy way: Use the existing holes and don’t


care about cable alignment with the arm
 Hard way: Drill/expand holes for a perfectly
aligned motor’s cable with the arm
Step 1 (hard way): Make 16
bigger holes
 You need:
 4 motors and their screws (3mm diameter)
 4 frame’s arms: 4 bigger holes per arm
 Expand oblong holes to 4mm and fix motors
Once fixed,
screws
MUST NOT
touch the
motor’s
Long motor internal part
screws: can short motor
be too long screws:
should be ok
Step 1bis: Motor mount

 WARNING:
 Motors central axis NEEDS to be perfectly
centered!
If not perfectly
centered: During
rotation clip will touch
borders and be
ejected!
Step 2: Think about FC
direction
 There are multiples ways for FC direction:
Standard: 90° rotated:
USB on the back (not USB on the side (easy to
easy to access) access)
Step 2bis: Think about ESC
control wires connectors
1th option: 2th options: 3th option:
90 degrees pin 90 degrees pin Straight pin header
header outward header inward

If FC is rotated, Perfect with all Too high: wires


connectors can be rotation and not compressed by top
too long too high

4th option: No pin header but direct wire soldering


Just only 4 wires to solder!
Step 3:Mandatory Soldering
Only white

is mandatory

5V only for FC
(no more!)

Check « optional » wire


soldering for:
• Battery (1 wire only)
• Buzzer (2 wires)
Step 3:Mandatory Soldering
Step 4: FC and PCB install

Short spacer

Warning: carbon

Step 5: Motor cables

1. Put heat shrinkable around each ESC first!
2. Motors 1 and 4: Straight cable

Taranis basic setup

1. Country code: Europe


2. Default channel order
1. AETR for mode 1
2. TAER for mode 2
3. Create a new model:
1. Binding Radio receiver
1. Select Bind and let the radio generate beep
2. Press bind button on radio RX during power on, LED should blink red & green
3. Press exit on taranis and remove power on radio RX
4. Power on radio RX and check for RSSI level icon:

2. Failsafe mode: No pulse


Taranis switches to channel

By default radio is configured for basic 4 channels,


we need to configure a minimum of 2 or 3 others
auxiliary channels triggerred by radio switches:
1. Into model configuration, mixer screen, edit
channel 5 and configure switch SF as source.
2. Same for CH6 (switch SG as source), and
CH7 (switch SH as source)

TAER example
Connecting FC to PC
1. Install USB-Serial drivers
2. Connect FC and check correct serial port detection by your PC
3. DISCONNECT the FC
4. Install & start BetaFlight
5. Click on Firmware flasher
6. Select board: SPRACINGF3 (for Emax F3) or NAZE (for naze32)
7. Firmware: 3.0.1
8. Enable:
1. Full chip erase
2. Manual baud rate: 256000
9. Click on: Load Firmware [Online]
10. CONNECT the FC
11. Click on: Flash Firmware
Calibration

 Put your quadcopter on a leveled surface

Setup: Set the horizon “level”


Failsafe: Default value
1. Failsafe tab: A racer is designed for being
“droped”

2. Save
Flight controller alignment

 If flight controller installed in a non-default


alignment (presenting USB port on a side)

+90° -90°

1. Configuration tab 1. Put a 90° or -90°

2. Save
Flight controller alignment

2. Setup tab: Check correct alignment by


moving your frame along each axes
Receiver setup: SBUS

Ports tab: Configure the serial port


connected to radio RX as a “Serial Receiver”
NAZE32 (2015-2016 FC board): UART2
F3 (2016-2017 FC board): UART3
Configuration tab: Set Receiver mode
to Serial based and serial protocol to
SBUS
WARNING

 Next steps require to plug your LIPO for


power on the radio RX
REMOVE Propellers FIRST !!!
Channel mapping

 Power on your radio TX


 Plug LiPo battery for power on radio RX
 Check channel mapping correspond to your
radio channel map (AETR1234 or TAER1234):

Change it if doesn’t match


your radio

Radio stick move should


modify these values
Taranis level fine tunning

 Notice that minimum and maximum channel


value send by Radio are not perfect (1000 or
2000) by default

987, but should be


1000
 Edit your Radio model, Outputs section, and change min
and max coefficient for the 4 channels until the value
displayed are exactly 1000 for minimum and 2000 for
maximum
Arming

 Model needs to be ARMED before use


 Motors will SPIN once armed by default!
 It’s a big visual/behavior alert
 You need to:
 RAPIDLY be able to DISARM your model
 Pushing Throttle to minimum value is not enought
 Avoid to ARM it by accident !

With a Taranis, using switch SF for ARM seems a good compromise:


• SF DOWN: ARMED
• SF UP: DISARMED
Arming

 Configure ARM mode to use channel AUX 1

 Configure Taranis model for checking that


default position for switch SF is UP (and no
more down)
Flight Modes

 Default (un-configured) is ACRO mode


 Good for FPV racing or acrobatic: No self-leveling!
 Mandatory for testing the model
 Angle mode
 Always keeps horizontal level (maximum angle of 50°)
 Horizon mode
 Keeps horizontal level but switch into ACRO if you push
sticks to maximum
 Air mode (advanced)
 Used for “no gravity” flight (need to master ACRO before
to try this mode)
Flight Mode example

 Switch down: ANGLE


 Switch middle: HORIZON (learning looping)
 Switch up (unconfigured): ACRO
Flight Mode example: Mixing
ARM and mode in one channel
 Need a 3 positions switch
 Switch down: DISARMED
 Switch middle: ARMED + ANGLE
 Switch up : ARMED + HORIZON
Buzzer & battery monitor

 FC board can use a 3-5V piezo buzzer


 Generate beep when: ARMed, flight mode
change, low power alarm, lost quadricopter.
 Flight Controller needs to have its integrated
voltmeter (BATT pin) directly connected to
lipo for being able to monitor lipo Cell
voltage.
 For “lost” mode, assign a radio channel:

col-TX-Module
 Module support 2 communication protocols for
speaking to the remote:
 PPM, default mode. Need to use the rotary switch
on the module for selecting protocol
 Serial (2 bridges to solder). Needs to upgrade radio
firmware, but it’s the most powerfull mode.
 Need to buy:
 Multiprotocol TX Module for FrSky Taranis
 (optionnal): programmer for firmware upgrade
Multiprotocol module
1. Modify module for serial mode and install upgrade pin connectors

Solder 2 bridges
(TX and RX) for Solder 6 pins

upgrade only)

2. (optionnal) upgrade module firmware


3. Taranis firmware NEEDS to use OpenTX 2.2 minimum

Adding bluetooth (Complex!)
1. Why? Allow to configure PIDs from a smartphone
2. Needs:
1. Bluetooth Serial HC-05 adapter (4€ on banggood)
2. Arduino uno clone (for configuring HC-05 adapter) about 10€
3. Some cables
4. Optional: USB/TTL converter for checking correct TX/RX pins
5. Optional: Small switch for power off Bluetooth when not needed
3. Using your Arduino: Configure HC-05 at 115200 baud (because default 9600
is too slow) and change its name and PIN code
4. Connect it to the Flight Controller Serial/UART port
1. VCC => VCC
2. GND => GND
3. TX => RX
4. RX => TX
5. Limitation: ESC calibration and ESC firmware upgrade/setup are not
supported across bluetooth module
