I decided rather than attempting to design and build a larger quadcopter, I’d start small and use the components from the Hubsan motors, LEDs, and receiver, since they were rather inexpensive and I could use the hand held transmitter I already had. The frame is injection molded with an upper and lower shell designed to separate upon strong impacts to keep from breaking. It’s also quite sturdy, as I found by crashing it numerous times. If you are not looking to add things to the frame, and just want to have a remote-controlled quadcopter, get whatever frame you like, otherwise be mindful of your options.The X4 shown in Figure 1 is loads of fun to fly, and a remarkable little machine. I have gone with the slightly fatter/longer frame in order to fit the Raspberry Pi + Grove Pi onboard, as you can see stuffed in there: As you can see, one is fatter, and longer than the other overall, despite both being called 250 frames The top 2 are 525, the bottom two are size 250 Costs are also ~ the same, so it really does not matter beyond personal preference. The actual needed materials and build process is the same.

In this tutorial, we'll wind up building a 250, but feel free to build whatever size you want. A 500 is not double the size of a 250, it is more like 4x the size, so keep this in mind. The 250 size is a total blast to fly, much easier to do very quick maneuvers with, and doesn't need as much space to fly safely.
It does more damage if it does crash, and requires a bit more space to safely fly around. At first, I chose to go with a 525, but the 525 is quite large, and not as much fun to fly in my opinion.
The number corresponds to the distance, diagonally between the motors. There are various sizes, but the most popular size is the 250 for custom quadcopters, and then 500ish for the commercial drones.
The first choice you have to make is what size of quadcopter / drone you want to make. If you're like me when I first started, you don't know that not all motors spin in the same direction, for example.
QUAD COPTER BUILDING HOW TO
Also, as you decide to change things, if you have custom built your quadcopter, you can switch out motors, propellers, a frame, and all sorts of things easily with a custom build.ĭespite it likely being a better choice to build a quadcopter, it can be quite the hurdle to figure out all of the things you need and how to put one together. What this really means usually is that the company has a monopoly on those specific parts and they charge as such. First, when tinkering with things, you're more likely to break it, fry it, or, in our case: crash it! The issue here is that commercially available drones tend to come with a lot of proprietary parts. To start, why might you want to custom build a quadcopter or drone as opposed to simply going to the store and buying one. Even if you do not have any interest in putting a Raspberry Pi computer on your quadcopter, the first few tutorials are purely aimed at putting together a quadcopter and flying it with a transmitter. First, we'll be going over the parts and putting together a quadcopter/multicopter, and then we will be talking about using a Raspberry Pi with various sensors and peripherals on the quadcopter.
