Going in depth again
(internal components)
Where to start, there's a lot to cover! I guess I'll start with listing all the components on board.
RC components
- Servos-Tiny low powered motors, that turn a control arm. (used to move surface controls)
- ESC-Electronic Speed Control.(Used to control, increase, or decrease motor speed)
- 7ch/8ch Receiver-Receives commands from transmitter(allows UAV to talk to Adrupilot)
- Lipo battery-Lithium Polymer battery(Higher discharge, greater charge capacity)
- Brushless motor-Main motor, supplies lift and acceleration(brushless offers greater efficacy, compared to standard motor)
- Adrupilot-CPU, gives the receiver commands using info from GPS.
- GPS-Global Position System(Recording Lat, and Lang. coordinates, Adrupilot can use this info to direct the UAV to the designated way point)
- FMA Co-Pilot-Stabilizes aircraft (using four sensors to detect inferred signature between earth, and carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere)
Well that covers most all of the internal components. This list may change, depending when Adrupilot Pro is available for consumer release. AdruPilot Pro combines the nav. system, with the stabilizing system already with the board. Which means less bugs, faster processing, and cheaper price, rather than buying all three components separate.
