The drone is almost fully automatically, you don't have to control it, because follows
your phone that is usually in your bike, The ultrasonic sensor helps to bypass
trees, buildings and other obstacles and the GPS gives a very accurate position
data, but let's see what do we have in total:
1000mAh battery, enough for 16-18 minutes of continous flying
ultrasonic sensor to avoid obstacles in the air
Bluetooth module to recieve data from the phone WowWee - Chip, juguete perro robóti...
Arduino based microcontroller 3
build-in gyroscope 239,92 €
Descúbrelo
regulated maximum height (5 meters)
when battery is low automatically lands on the phone (hopefully in your
hands)
costs about $100 to build
can be programmed to anything
with the help of the GPS you can send the drone to any coordinates
quadcopter desing
equipped with a 2MP 720p HQ videocamera
weighs 109 grams (3.84 ounces)
So that is all that the first version can do, of course I want to develop it. During the
summer I want to hack my bigger drone with this software.
I asked two good friends of me to walk in the front of the drone, while I was under
the drone, to save it if falls down. But the test succeeded, and as you can see the
drone still is not very stable, but worked. The left guy in a yellow T-shirt held the
phone, that transmitted the GPS data. The video quality with this camera is not the
best, but I didn't find low weight 1080p cameras.

For this project you need some new and unusual parts. I designed from low wieght
and recycled parts to reduce the cost, and succeded I got very good materials for
the frame. But let's see what we need! I bought the Crius brand of the flight
controller from Amazon.com and worked

I bought these proppellers with motors from the Amazon.com for 18 bucks, they are
spare parts for the Syma S5X drone, but they seemed useful so I ordered them,
and worked fine. You just have to put the motor in its hole, and attach the props to
the gearing.
Always look at the schemantic while working and be careful with the connections.

Now you have to solder all cables from the motors to the L293D motor driver IC.
Look at the pictures, they say much more, you have to connect black and blue
wires to the GND and positive wires to the Outputs 1-4, just like me. The L293D can
drive these motors, but I recommend to use some power transistors because this
chip cannot handle all the four motors at high power (more than 2 Ampers). After
this cut 15 cm straws these will hold the motors in place. I used extra strong straws
that I got from a local bakery and cafe. Put these straws gently on the motors's
gearings.

(/file/FRYIQHVIPMVD7YR/)
Take four female-female jumper wires and cut the in half. Then solder them to
remaining pins of the IC. This will help to connect the pins to the Arduino's I/O pins.
Now it is time to build the circuit.
(/file/F53ZT7JIPMVD81K/) (/file/FNYAOPCIPMVD81T/)
All modules are included with the flight controller kit that I odered, so you just have
to connect them together. The Bluetooth goes to the Serial port, the GPS first in the
I2C converter then in the I2C port. Now you can equip this on your drone.
(/file/FRFIJ43IPMVD80Q/)
(/file/FSGVFOAIPMVD7DP/) (/file/F54AC01IPMVD7DS/)
(/file/FPKSH7PIPMVD7DY/)
Use some double sided tape and add the GPS first. This sponge-tape holds
everything in place, so glue every module one by one on the plastic piece. If you're
done with this you can connect the motor driver's pins to the MultiWii.
(/file/FBTVDETIPMVD7E7/) (/file/FMKAFC8IPMVD7EG/)
(/file/FBTR895IPMVD7FN/) (/file/FTHDSG0IPMVD7EB/)
The Input pins goes to the D3, D9, D10, D11 the others should be connected to the
VCC+ and GND- pins. Schemantic will be uploaded tomorrow.

I used some rubberbands to fix my battery to the bottom of the drone, and holds
there pretty strongly. I plugged in and worked, just how I imagined.

The sonar sensor is fixed on the drone with a rubberband, and connected to the D7
and D6 pins of the MultiWii controller.
(/file/FSI82V5IPMVD7II/) (/file/FOE0DY2IPMVD7LZ/)
You have to use a Serial FTDI module to program the chip. The kit also includes the
programmer module.

After this you can make your own hacked drone if you can program Arduino or
follow my instructions and make it a "follow me" drone.

I bought a very cheap chinese 720p keychain camera and had a great quality. I
suited on the bottom of the drone with doulble sided tape. This camera was used in
many of my projects and always is good to use it, weighs 15 grams and can make
a very good video.

(/file/FC3QO44IPOC2VWS/) (/file/FSH07NUIPMVD7M8/)
The drone is still insatble because is not a proffesional project, but works fine . I am
very happy with the results. The connection distance was about 8 meters that is
more than enough for a drone like this. The video is coming soon and I hope you'll
like it. It is not a racing drone, but it's also pretty fast.

I really hope you liked my Instuctable, and if yes, please give me a kindly vote in
the Make It Fly Contest. If you have questions feel free to ask. Don't forget to share
and give a heart if you think deserves it. Thanks again for watching!
Cheers, Imetomi
Awesome

I'm really confused because I've read everywhere that the L293D is supposed to
be used with two motors. How is it used for four motors?
Flag
Flag
How are you controlling the drone ? I mean the height and directions.
Flag
again no video
i see a quad in the air, with the props NOT spinning
WHY?

Code does not seem to work. It is the default code you uploaded, not the correct
code for it to follow your phone. Would appreciate it a lot if you could share it

I am working on this project could you please share your code with me.

would it be useful to add two ultrasonic sensors for a wider field of view

Interested in building this drone. I have one question, might be stupid but, how do
you recharge the drone after use with that battery? I'm assuming its like a phone
and you just plug it in the wall right?

Totally amazing! I would love to have something like this to follow my autistic son
around... Get this to the Shark Tank.

Hey, well done on the instructable... If you had a choice, what motor driver would
you use if you were to do it again?

Hello Imetomi. Thank you for this project! I bought the TIP122
from amazon which looks like this image:
(http://i0.wp.com/henrysbench.capnfatz.com/wp-
content/uploads/2015/08/TIP122-Pin-Outs.png) I don't see anything in
common with the L293D. How do I sold motors to GND and positive wires to
Outputs on TIP122? I will appreciate much provided details as I am new on
this. :D

Excellent. I see a different use... keep away. As a Quidditch player, I could see this
idea develop into one with another pair of sensors to tell it to keep away from
people and use the GPS to tell it to stay within certain boundries and certain
heights for seekers to try to capture - with some light protective shell of some sort
around it and a much smaller span - viola, a golden snitch.

NICE!! =D

I think ill make this with a heat camera on it and have it transmit a live view of the
heat signatures to a raspberry pi.

Im not entirely sure. Ive never been hunting myself, but if i could
make it discreet and quiet enough, maybe there are some applications for
that.

Excellent!

I'm not sure how much this will help, but a way I've found to "stabilize" input
measurements is run a subroutine where you take for example 5 measurements in
about 2 seconds. You then take the average of those measurements and that is
the resulting "stable" measurement that you would use for calculating position. Eg
code:
data1a= incomingDataA;
Delay(200);
data2a= incomingDataA;
data1a +data2a = dataTotalA; //data A being the X, Y, or Z coordinate
dataTotalA / 2= PositionA; //use position A for measurement
Hope you get this thing working perfect,
best of luck!

I already have the drone can I adapt this fantastic instructable to it?

Nice work!

Thank you!

Congrats for nice project and thank you for sharing your experience with us.
However, you wrote "Li-Ion" for battery. But it seems a LiPo. Could you confirm
that?

How can I get in contact with you?, I have a similar proyect that I will love to consult
