Introduction What is Project X-Fly? Project goals and motivation
Block Diagram
Quadcopter Specs. (4) Motors / (4)ESCs Carbon Fiber Propellers 3S LiPo /(4) AA NiMh batteries Flight Controller Board H-Frame Chassis
Manual Mode Transmitter / Receiver Pulse Width Modulation
Autonomous Mode Raspberry Pi & Camera Transmitter PWM “mimic”
Mode Switching A Unique Problem MUX 8-Pin DIP MCU Printed Circuit Board
Motor Control PWM -> FCB -> ESC -> Motors
Embedded Linux Raspbian Overclocking/Heatsinks Startup scripts
Computer Vision Color Filtering and Tracking RaspiCam Interface
3D Printing Ball Joint / Socket Motor Mounts
Conclusion Project X-Fly Outcomes What We Learned
