FPV QUADCOPTER

flying robots are a thing too

I wanted to make something fun and somewhat useful, so there’s actually a video transceiver and a camera on this quadcopter. The video transceiver talks directly to FPV Goggles so you can see in first-person through the camera while this drone is flying.

Part selection took the longest actually, the soldering job wasn’t too difficult but had to be re-done a couple of times when I added heat-shrink. I also accidentally blew out my first flight controller so that wasn’t very fun but you live and learn, make sure all your solder connections are properly separated.

This project was mostly assembly, but also honed my soldering skills because I was soldering on super small circuit boards so I learned that a fine-tipped soldering iron can work wonders.
