Beginning
When I was in high school, I was introduced to flight controls and multirotors.
I learned what a MultiWii is, and the famous Ardupilot.
I’d be thinking about how to get MultiWii’s complicated code to run in the Atmel 328p that I could afford at the time.
Followed by Ardupilot running in Atmega2560. I tuned it all the day.
Then there’s the revamped pixhawk 2.4.8.
It also does some weird stuff in between, like the Y3 craft that relies on rudder control of the third axis tension vector angle to counteract spin.
And the giant eight-axle, with a wheelbase of 1200mm.
During my university years, I once again became involved with drones. This time, I won the national second prize of the TI Cup, the highest level of electronic competitions for university students, by designing the X4 copter myself.
This project ended up being my final year project, and it earned the title of outstanding thesis.
