Project Phoenix (mini drone)

  • Motors/batteries/props

    • list of options to select from

    • document outlying decision matrix for selecting products

    • 8:15 meeting today to select final choices

  • we are going with 4 in 1 ESC design with 20x20 or 30x30

  • we do want prop guards

    • possibly out of wire

  • can use CNC or mill for creating the main part of the design

  • motivation is to have reliably made parts with little variation between them

Motors/Props Discussion

  • 3S batteries

  • smaller kV (range of 1800-2300) means more efficiency

  • decision: cheaper motors that might be a little less reliable is ok because they will be tested hard anyways

  • ESC not important for motor specs

  • ESC probably won’t change depending on motor selection

  • Either the 2206s or A2212s

  • Depending on motor recommendations, probably will be 5” props

  • batteries: 5800 mAh??

  • purchase motors, props, batteries

    • decide how many of each to purchase initially

  • add any materials to the wishlist that you want for the term

  • finalize the size of the body and arms after prop/motor selection is finished

  • get pvc pipe of largest diameter possible (3” might be biggest you can find)

  • Megan - create a laser printable plate for mounting electronics

  • more plywood for prototyping

GrabCAD Organization

 

  • Megan - make template for 2D drawings using the

3D printer

  • Not fixed yet but in the process.
