Quadrocopter - Part 4 - Spinning out of Control
In the previous post i mentioned that i needed gyroscopic sensors and accelerometers to stabilize the quadrocopter.For more detail on these sensors visit Gyroscope and Accelerometer . Basically what i'll be doing is using these sensors find out the orientation of the quadrocopter relative to the ground. With this data i can adjust the speed of the various motors (using something called as PID Controller ) to stabilize the quadrocopter in a particular orientation. Now to move the quadrocopter in any direction you adjust the speed of any one (or all) the motors so as to get the proper direction of motion. For more info on how a quadrocopter actually flys go here. There are two ways (that i have thought of) to obtain these sensors: 1) Buy it off the self 2) Salvage it from any commercially avail...
