The basics of quadcopter anatomy

Abstract

Variations of un-maned vehicles or drones are widely used in diverse fields, including monitoring or manipulation with dangerous substances. One of the best drone construction, which can be used in these fields is an X-copter. This paper serves as an introduction to basics of quadcopter anatomy and advice to choose components based on their properties. In addition, it shown variants of connection between microcontroller and motors for test purpose and an example of programming. This information can be used in education process or for those who want to use a microcontroller Raspberry in their work. © 2018 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
