57. A quad rotor, also called a quad rotor helicopter or
quadro copter, is an aircraft that is lifted and
propelled by four rotors.
What are Quadcopter?
59. o Quad rotors are classified as rotorcraft, as opposed to
fixed-wing aircraft, because their lift is derived from
four rotors.
o They can also be classified as helicopters, though
unlike standard helicopters, quad rotors use fixed-
pitch blades, whose rotor pitch does not vary as the
blades rotate.

History of Quadcopter
61. In this quad rotor there are 6 rotors.
• 4 rotors – Lift
• 2 rotors –Thrust and yaw Control.
They tested it 100 times and max
altitude it flew was 5m.

Types of DC Motors
81. DC Brush Motors
o A “commutator” brings current to the moving element
(the rotor).
o As the rotor moves, the polarity changes, which keeps
the magnets pulling the right way.
o Highly controllable, most common DC motor.

DC Brushed Motor
82. DC Brush Motors
o At fixed load, speed of rotation is proportional to applied
voltage.
o Changing polarity reverses rotation.
o To first order, torque is proportional to current.
o Load curve:
o Motors which
approximate thisvia
ideal well are
called DC servo
motors.

86. How It Works
o When electric current passes through a
coil in a magnetic field, the magnetic
force produces a torque which turns
the motor.
o Force in Motor:
F=ILB
F = Force
B = Magnetic Field
L = Length of Conductor
I = Current in Conductor
o Torque in Motor:
T = IBA sin θ
A = LW
L = Length of Winding
W = Width of Winding

How to select battery?

o Motor current draw
o Required Endurance / Time of flight
o Weight
o Total No of cycles
prepared by An engineer : Hemyar Nasser
AL-harazi
Parameters to be considered
100. o Total no of motors - 4
o Peak current rating per motor - 12amps
o Motor to be selected so that it has atleast 250%
thrust of the total weight
prepared by An engineer : Hemyar Nasser
AL-harazi
Endurance Calculation
101. o For example max vehicle weight (AUM) is 600gms
o Loading per motor - 600/4 = 150 gms
o Each motor should have minimum peak thrust of
150*2.5 = 375gms
102. o The vehicle should hover at 25 - 30% throttle.
o Hover current = 12 * 0.3 = 3.6amps round off to 4amps
o Total current for vehicle to hover and operate in
continuous state is 4 * 4 = 16amps
103. o Now the battery selected is 3300mAh , 20c rated
o So peak current discharge is 3.3 * 20 = 66 Amps
o Flight time = 3.3Ah/16 = 0.20625 hr or 12.375mins
o This is the lowest possible flight time. But there
are further considerations needed like flight type
and total weight considered into calculation.

What is Control
Theory?
116. prepared by An engineer : Hemyar Nasser
AL-harazi
Why to use it?
117. The usual objective of a control theory is to calculate
solutions for the proper corrective action from the
controller that result in system stability, that is, the
system will hold the set point and not oscillate
around it.

A Simple Controller
119. A process variable, process value or process
parameter is the current status of a process under
control. An example of this would be the
temperature of a furnace. The current temperature
is called the process variable, while the desired
temperature is known as the set-point.

Difference between P
& PI controllers
123. o Estimating the desired position/ response and the
settling time using feedback from the sensors
o It is a closed loop feedback system
o The equation for a PID controller is as follows:
o u = p+i+d
o e(t) = ed(t) – ea(t)

PID Controller
124. o A PID controller has proportional, integral and
derivative terms that can be represented in
transfer
o Function form as
prepared by An engineer : Hemyar Nasser
AL-harazi
126. Proportional Term
o The proportional component depends only on the
difference between the set point and the process
variable.
o This difference is referred to as the Error term.
o The proportional gain (Kc)determines the ratio of
output response to the error signal.
prepared by An engineer : Hemyar Nasser
AL-harazi
Proportional Term
127. o For instance, if the error term has a magnitude of
10, a proportional gain of 5 would produce a
proportional response of 50
o In general, increasing the proportional gain will
increase the speed of the control system response.
prepared by An engineer : Hemyar Nasser
AL-harazi
128. o However, if the proportional gain is too large, the
process variable will begin to oscillate.
o If Kc is increased further, the oscillations will
become larger and the system will become
unstable and may even oscillate out of control.
prepared by An engineer : Hemyar Nasser
AL-harazi
129. o Ki is proportional to both magnitude of the error
and duration
o When added to kp it accelerates the movement of
the process towards the set point
prepared by An engineer : Hemyar Nasser
AL-harazi
130. The integral component sums the error term over
time. The result is that even a small error term will
cause the integral component to increase slowly.
prepared by An engineer : Hemyar Nasser
AL-harazi
Integral Term
131. The derivative component causes the output to
decrease if the process variable is increasing
rapidly.

142. How do you use these satellites to calculate your position?
The Global Positioning System is a constellation
of 31 satellites that is used to calculate your
position.
144. When Radon’s GPS receiver gets the signal, he
compares the time on the signal with the time
on his clock.
So, a GPS signal tells you how far you are from the transmitter.
Time Difference (in seconds) * 2.99792458 108
meters/second =
Distance (in meters)
145. If the distance from the GPS transmitter is 250 miles, that means you
are somewhere on a circle of radius 250 miles.
147. And a third transmitter in Pueblo
Radon is at the intersection of
the 3 circles
148. This only works if:
• You know where the transmitters are.
• GPS signals also transmit the satellite locations.
• Everyone has good clocks.
• The GPS satellites have very good clocks. A GPS user
can use a 4th signal to piggy-back onto the GPS
satellite clocks.
• And you can tell the transmitters apart.
• The signals are made in a way so that you can tell
which transmitter sent them.
• For real problems, we use the intersection of three
spheres, not three circles.
150. o It compares that signal with all the known codes (there
are currently 37).
o The receiver determines which satellite it is.
o It decodes the timing information, multiplies by the
speed of light to find the radius of the sphere.
o Once it has done that for 3 satellites, it can determine the
location.
When GPS receives a signal

o Remove propellers and store it box
o Cover the control board
o Remove battery, charge it fully and store it in lipo
safe bag
o Cover the motors to avoid dust
o Do not keep the quad upright on the wall. Always
keep the quad on flat surface or nail it on the wall
