| Summary: | This research focused on the development of
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) of a dodecacopter system. The
dodecacopter is controlled through a Pixhawk 2.4.8 firmware�based flight controller. The communication between the
dodecacopter and flight controller is connected through wireless
communication system. The dodecacopter is well equipped with
latest technology from Pixhawk flight controller for efficient
and smooth controlling system. The dodecacopter balancing
system is using the technology of barometer MS5611 and
magnetometer IST8310 sensors. The developed dodecacopter is
equipped with 12 Tarot 4006 brushless motors to increase the
payload capability. Based on the results, the experiment shows
that the dodecacopter can hover and maintain its position with
optimum stability. Observation shows that the dodecacopter
performances can be increased by using high-powered motors,
lighter batteries. |
