Meet Kestrel a mapping drone design study in BotSims The drone collection

also offers a cargo hexacopter a guarded inspection quad a coaxial octocopter

00:00:10.505 --> 00:00:14.965
an agricultural layout and a winged vertical takeoff concept Their shapes are

4
00:00:14.965 --> 00:00:19.860
different because their packaging questions are different Open Kestrel's saved project to

5
00:00:19.860 --> 00:00:21.695
follow this walkthrough

6
00:00:21.795 --> 00:00:25.920
Orbit the grounded X frame and inspect the four booms landing skids

navigation receiver illustrate sensor placement Select components to review dimensions and mass

9
00:00:36.795 --> 00:00:40.655
The navigation receiver is a placement part and the rotor geometry does

10
00:00:40.655 --> 00:00:46.240
not generate lift This simulator does not currently implement flight dynamics

11
00:00:46.340 --> 00:00:51.370
The project groups the airframe propulsion layout and avionics Enter a group

12
00:00:51.370 --> 00:00:55.270
to work on a smaller subsystem then return to the full robot

13
00:00:55.270 --> 00:01:00.130
Right click a part to inspect available actions including compatible model replacement

14
00:01:00.130 --> 00:01:04.920
where supported Review retained and dropped wiring whenever you change a model

15
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.255
A visually similar component can have different electrical interfaces

00:01:09.355 --> 00:01:14.395
Open Wiring The four cell battery feeds the distribution board Its positive

00:01:14.395 --> 00:01:18.175

00:01:23.150 --> 00:01:27.560
from each speed controller to its motor The distribution board provides ideal

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:33.475

22
00:01:34.900 --> 00:01:38.955
The included program deliberately keeps the drone stationary and logs the model

23
00:01:38.955 --> 00:01:42.740
scope It does not pretend that a ground robot drive command can

24
00:01:42.740 --> 00:01:47.100
fly an aircraft You can inspect the supported powered camera and inertial

25
00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:52.130
sensor observations while studying component mass and packaging The design is useful

26
00:01:52.130 --> 00:01:56.090
for assembly and wiring planning it does not prove flight stability lift

00:01:56.090 --> 00:01:59.880

00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:05.265
Export the project to preserve the airframe wiring groups and program Compare
