How a Quadcopter Works - Flight Mechanics, Components, & Sensors (2)

Build a Camera Drone - Episode 02 - How a Quadcopter Works - Flight Mechanics, Components, and Sensors
Series for Beginners by Engineers Escape
In this series I teach you step by step how to build, configure, and fly your own drone from the ground up. In this episode, we take a look at how a quadcopter works. It is best to have a basic understanding of how something works before fixing or building it. Flight mechanics, components, and sensors are explained. Basic movements such as hovering, roll, pitch, and yaw are examined.

    Thanks for a very informative video. I got here because my drone had a minor accident after which it does not hover in one place. It tends to move in circles while hovering (no yaw). Any thoughts on what's messed up? I changed the propellers to be sure there isn't a weight imbalance. Thanks!

  • @grzesiek1x
    @grzesiek1x3 жыл бұрын

    actually it is all about regulation of voltage that motors receive at the output of the circuit of controller right? And also balancing the current for all motors. Because if I try to do so without any volatage/current regulator , one motor takes too much current than others and drone just jump into any direction possible. Also i noticed that people don't respect the direction of propellers and i see sometimes on video of yt that their drones just spin arround. I am trying to figure out how to build my own drone controller and circuit (as my project for electronics).

    So if the the CW motors were completely dead (not spinning) and the CCW motors were the only ones still spinning, will the drone still turn CW or would it switch the CCW direction instead before crashing?

  • @EngineersEscape

    @EngineersEscape

    3 жыл бұрын

    On paper, assuming it still had enough lift to not fall, the drone body would start spinning CW because of the imbalance in torque. (Only the CCW props are spinning) In real life, you probably wouldn't lose two motors simultaneously. You would land (or crash most likely) when you lose one. I haven't seen quads IRL that would automatically change motor direction to try to maintain stability. Even if it did, it would be producing lift in the wrong direction. This would cause a crash. I did see some interesting experiments though where a drone can recover when losing a motor by spinning the body quickly. For hexacopters, I have seen people lose one motor and keep flying.

    To let the copter stay in a height at a Position, i need a Barometer and a GPS Modul right ?

  • @MadDragon75

    I believe all quadcopters have a gyro and accelerometer. Both of those are necessary to keep the quadcopter level. Without them. It won't even lift off the ground. GPS on the other hand, is required to keep your quadcopter in one fixed position at all times.

    I don't use autolevel. I fly in acro or "Air mode". The barometer is cancelled in this mode. I am in full control of my aircraft.
