This book walks you through the complete drone development life cycle, from concept to pilot stage, prototyping, and ultimately, a market-ready product, with domain-specific applications.\n\u003cbr\u003eStarting with an introduction to unmanned systems, principles of drone flight, and it's motion in 3D space, this book shows you how to design a propulsion system tailored to your drone's needs. You'll then get hands on with the entire drone assembly process, covering airframe, components, and wiring. Next, you'll enhance drone connectivity and navigation with communication devices, such as RFD900, Herelink, and H-16 Pro GCS and hardware protocols like I2C, and UART. The book also guides you in using the open-source flight software ArduPilot and PX4, along with firmware architecture and PID tuning for advanced control. Additionally, you'll go learn about AeroGCS, Mission Planner, and UGCS ground control stations, tips for maiden flight and log analysis for optimizing performance while building a custom survey drone with a 60-min endurance, 10km range, live video feed, and photography options.\n\u003cbr\u003eBy the end of this book, you'll be equipped with all you need to build and fly your own drones and UAVs.What you will learn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExplore the design principles for multicopter flight and its physics of motion\n\u003cbr\u003eGrasp terminologies associated with UAV flight systems\n\u003cbr\u003eImplement power trail, communication, and propulsion conceptsin drone design\n\u003cbr\u003eUse IMUs and sensors in flight controllers, and protocols like I2C, SPI, and MAvlink\n\u003cbr\u003eFamiliarize yourself with open-source drone flight stacks and ground control station software\n\u003cbr\u003eApply the control law used in multicopter and the basics of PIDs\n\u003cbr\u003eDelve into modes of flying with remote controllers and analysis of flight logs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho this book is forThis book is for beginner-level drone engineers, robotics engineers, hardware and design engineers, and hobbyists who want to enter the drone industry and enhance their knowledge of the physics, mechanics, avionics, and programming of drones, multicopters, and UAVs.
