The assembling procedure of the quadcopter
includes the assembling of the frame,
mounting of motors, connecting the motors
to the ESC, connecting the power module and
the ESC to the power distribution board by
soldering; accompanied with the mounting
and connecting of the flight controller,
receiver and the GPS module. Last but not
the least the assembling procedure is
completed by the attachment of the battery
and the Wi-Fi camera.
So firstly let's start off with the attachment of
the motors to the arms of the Quadcopter.
For that we require an allen key set and the
mounting screws which are either given with
the motors or with the frame. While mounting
it is advised to not to overtight which might
hamper the free rotation of the motors. After
mounting the motors to the frame, the wires
are to be lead under the arms so that it is
easier to attach them with the ESC's and
further to the Power Distribution Board.After the complete installation of the motors,
identify the points to be soldered on the
Power Distribution Board. After identifying
that, add solder to the points so that it
becomes easy to solder the ESC's and the
power module output wires to the Power
Distribution board.
Next, we shall solder all the ESC connections
to the Power Distribution Board by soldering.
We shall note that the soldering shall be neat
and proper otherwise it may cause damage
to the Power Distribution Board or even shotAfter soldering of the ESC’s, the arms and the
Legs of the frame should be mounted on the
Board as there is a single mounting point for
both the arms and it's legs. While mounting
each arm and the legs together to the Board,
it should be ensured that both the arms and
the legs are properly alligned otherwise it
might cause damage to the board or any part.
After mounting the legs and the arms to the
frame we shall connect the ESC's to the
motors. The connection is dependent on the
direction of rotation of the motors. A detailed
explaination to the connection is given in
Chapter XX .
After completion of the ESC connections, thetop board of the frame shall be mounted by
the mounting screws provided with the
frame. The mounting of the Top board is very
necessary because the Flight controller, GPS
attachment and module as well as the
Receiver is mounted / attached to the board
itself.
Next, we shall attach the Flight controller to
the Top board by using a 3M Double sided
tape. After this we shall initialise all the
connections of the flight controller and the
receiver. The proper detailed description of
the connections is given in Chapter XX
(Layout and Designs). After all the
connections, all the calibrations are to be
made which is again given in detail in Chapter
XX (Calibration).
Now for a smooth and safe landing of the
Quadcopter, we have attached sponge balls
to the Legs so that the landing reaction force
is absorbed by the ball itself not damaging
any component of the Quadcopter. It isattached via glues and tapes.
After completing all this attach propellers to
the Motor heads and make the Quadcopter
