We are currently looking into 3D reconstruction from drone outputs. Was originally used in the. Project, to generate pointclouds of the two case studies in Lima, Peru. The innovative use of drones to capture the city on the spot and the instant generation of accurate 3D models through relevant applications, opened up new pathways in the mapping of rapidly changing urban environments. Here are some tips for taking photos:. Make sure to have plenty of overlaps. Make sure the light in consistent. There are ...

Hackney University Extension Year 12 Masterclass | drones@casaucl
http://casaucldrones.blogspot.com/2016/12/hackney-university-extension-year-12.html
Hackney University Extension Year 12 Masterclass. Why do I keep seeing micro drones hitting walls and smashing into a million pieces when I close my eyes? Oh, now I remember, we did another Drone Masterclass. This one was for Hackney University Extension Year 12 (16-17 years), so we stepped up the science a bit. That which remains. after a Drone Masterclass. UCL STEM: https:/ twitter.com/UCLEngEdu. Http:/ www.bsix.ac.uk/bseven/raisingaspirations.htm. 2 December 2016 at 08:17. Im going straight to 1080p i...

First Flight: Great White | drones@casaucl
http://casaucldrones.blogspot.com/2016/02/first-flight-great-white.html
First Flight: Great White. This is the first flight of the CASA 3D printed quadcopter which we will be using for the Royal Institution Coding for Year 9 project. The frame was designed by en-topia. And 3D printed in PLA by @d igitalurban. Using his MakerBot printer. I'm just glad it actually flies and that I didn't hit anything. All in all, I think that's quite a successful test and we're now going to build some more frames with different designs. 3D printing: @d igitalurban. Frame design and modelling.

Royal Institution Coding for Year 9s | drones@casaucl

Royal Institution Coding for Year 9s. On Saturday we ran the Royal Institution. Coding for Year 9 Master Class #dronesforgood. Thank you to Martin. Nathan, Anouchka, Ollie, Flora. Richard and Elpida, not forgetting Andy. Our Director who spent a lot of his time trying to persuade the 3D printer to make the quadcopter frames. It all starting off with a quick presentation about drones, their uses and the #dronesforgood. Examples of their use in the ReMap Lima. We even managed to do some filming with the un...

UK Drone Show University Agility Competition | drones@casaucl
http://casaucldrones.blogspot.com/2015/12/uk-drone-show-university-agility.html
UK Drone Show University Agility Competition. CASA took part in the first ever University Agility competition. At the UK Drone Show. Over the weekend. The venue was the NEC in Birmingham, which was the ideal place to show the new extension to the RemapLima. The CASA stand is behind the blue #ukdroneshow logo, while the agility course is behind the "Parrot" logo. The tunnel and XFlight gates on the main FPV Racing course. Getting the blade guards off is quite a fiddly operation. The first part of the comp...

Post Flight | drones@casaucl
http://casaucldrones.blogspot.com/2015/12/post-flight.html
It has been a week since the UK Drone Show agility competition and I've been going through the post flight analysis. The competition saw flights 6, 7 and 8 of the Diatone 250 Ghost Frame. And the first three flights of it with the Taranis X9D transmitter, X8R receiver and Fat Shark FPV kit. The picture above shows the nine props that I broke in the course of the competition, mainly while trying to land on the top of the box and missing completely. Which I flew though on the agility course. This wasn'...

Frame design and modelling | drones@casaucl
http://casaucldrones.blogspot.com/2015/12/3d-printed-frames.html
Frame design and modelling. Racing Drones don't tend to remain in a horizontal state when they race. Instead they race with approximately a 15 degree slope as shown in the image below:. That led us in designing the edges of the frame not entirely round, but with a tear shaped section in the front and a upside down tear in the back. Thus leaving the sides perfectly round. Below are the blueprints of the design. Milton is a senior researcher at CASA UCL, a micro electronics expert and an all weathers progr...

Building a Micro Quadcopter, Part 0 | drones@casaucl
http://casaucldrones.blogspot.com/2016/01/building-micro-quadcopter-part-0.html
Building a Micro Quadcopter, Part 0. We had a requirement to build a micro quadcopter for a workshop in March, so I needed to get all the hardware together and see that it's possible. I've labelled this as "part 0" because I really just want to assess the feasibility at this stage. Any subsequent parts will be the actual building. OK, I'm going to build a 10cm quadcopter weighing around 35g, so I had a root around the house for some bits. My design is as follows:. 4 x HubSan X4 replacement motors 15g.

Use the Force Anakin | drones@casaucl
http://casaucldrones.blogspot.com/2016/02/use-force-anakin.html
Use the Force Anakin. Here's a quick video of the current state of the quadsim simulator. We're running a Royal Institution coding for year 9s session in about a month's time and the idea is to let them have a play with the simulator. It's written in Unity, so it's fairly easy to import objects and build your own course. Note the CASA cube pyramid at the end of the video and the eBee drone from the ReMapLima project ( http:/ remaplima.blogspot.co.uk/. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

3D Printed Micro Quadcopter. A 3D printed frame designed by en-topia. And printed by CASA's Director ( digitalurban. On its own, this weighs 12g. The HubSan X4 props are 55mm diameter and the ruler gives a sense of scale. The diagonals are 100mm. The four replacement HubSan X4 motors are a push fit in the holes, using sellotape around the motor cans where necessary to ensure a tight fit. The connectors are 0.1 in pitch PCB pins soldered directly to the motor wires with heat shrink tubing added. Roumpani ...
