70$ Quadcopter

I made this project mostly because I like quadcopters, but as well to prove you don't need a +800$ quadcopter to enjoy the hobby. There are already lots of components online to build what you need, and now-a-days there's no need to spend around 1.200$ for known, big-name quadcopters.

Here is a short video about what I will use.

PART 1

The video is Part 1 and the project under process, stay tuned for part 2 in the future:

You may have already seen the components that I will use, their price and the final approx. weight of the quadcopter from the video.

Here is a short list of what I will use:

• 2212 1000Kv brusless motors, motor mounts

• 10x4.5 Props, prop adaptors

• nRF24L01 PA 2db SMA

• Atmega328 stand alone on homemade circuit

• I will use 2200mA 11.1v LiPo battery

• 30A ESC / BEC 2A 5V (really handy to power up the ATmega)

• Wood and Copper plates as frame.

Total weight 1100g. It may be less in the final build because I added extra weight to be sure. More info and build soon.

PART 2

29th of March, 2017

In this video we will see how I:

• Create a power distribution board PCB

• PCB Etching

• Quadcopter frame using the PCB as frame and circuits / wood

• Fly controller board / PCB

...etc.

Everything is homemade.

Just received the VR-Remote which I will use on the quadcopter

Here is a short video of what's inside it. I'm still planning the circuit and designs: how they're going to be and which components will be used.

In a future video I will post the VR-Remote working with the designed circuits for the quadcopter.
