Multi Rotors

I have long been fascinated by multirotors and have created and programmed a few.

My latest multi-rotor is a hexacopter designed for heavy-lift operations. It utilizes 13" propellers and two six-cell lipos enabling 30 minutes of flight while carrying a 20 lb payload. I am planning on using this hexacopter for drop testing payloads for rocket projects, and as a camera and tracking platform to record rocket launches.

This was an attempt to design and create a controller for a quadcopter. The control board uses a STM32 Microcontroller, along with a 9-axis IMU to stabilize and control the craft.

This was my entry to the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in 2016. This quadcopter was capable of locating and irrigating plants, using a combination of image processing and flight control software.

3D Printers

In high school I designed, created, and programmed a series of 3D Printers as a personal project. The first generation was made using wood and crude electronics wired on a breadboard.

Later generations used previous 3D Printers to print parts for the mechanics, and the design evolved over time. The electronics also grew in capability, from being controlled by an Arduino to a Raspberry Pi, enabling remote control of the printers.
