This is my work (together with two other team members) during the third year, 2nd semester control systems class. The main objectives of this project were:
- To learn how control systems by actually designing, implementing and testing a project.
- To appreciate the control system principles/concepts taught in theoritical class.
- To earn academic credits for our efforts in this work.
- Acquiring component and implementing basic tests on them.
- Designing the copter mounting shaft.
- Controlling the brushless motor with a power source.
- Designing an arduino code to control the rising of the propeller.
- Arduino Uno
- Brushless motor
- Propellor
- Motor driver
- Jumper cables (mostly male-female and male-male)
- Breadboard
- Power supply Module
- Toggle switch
- LEDs (1 red, 1 blue, 1 yellow, 1 green)
- Potentiometer
- Using feedback to control how high the copter gets.
