Description
A hover craft that uses the drone sensors to stabilise and maintain ground autonomy. Its smooth and extremely agile on all terrains .
The hover cradt uses two motors for thrust on the X and Y axis while four motors use thrust on the Z axis to maintain a smooth and table
hover.
Details
A basic 3D printed hovercraft frame that I designed on a 3d modelling software .
I put 7 mm DC brushed motors as the actuators with 55 mm bi-blade props.
The setup is a 1s 3.7v setup that used a 600 Mah battery with a disharge rating of 45C. Its an agile setup thats extremely fun to handle .
I used the Primus X flight controller to mimic the drone stabilising features to easily control the craft.
I added two extra motors that I used on the ports supporting H bridge to get the reverse function by reversing the prop spin .
I used the simple API based SDK that was offered with Primus X called Cygnus IDE .
To open drone experimentation to the world, Drona Aviation are crowdfunding for PlutoX on Indiegogo. Support them and help them bring it to life: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/plutox-turn-your-drone-ideas-into-innovations/reft/18075774/tinkerers
Build instructions
Step 1
Ideate and draw out design. 3D model the design to perfect scale.
Step 2
Print out the design and mount the flight controller , motors , propellers and battery.
Step 3
Use Cygnus IDE to code in the simple changes in the firmware and flash the new firmware.
Step 4
Connect in your phone application through wi-fi and watch your creations come to life.
