SYSTEM DESIGN AND CIRCUITS ANALYSIS

This chapter contains the system design, circuits, diagrams, discussion, computations and components.

     Fig. 4.1 shows the flow of the project from input to output. The transmitter board gives the command that will be received by the receiver board. The receiver board will give the received command to the APM flight controller, it will be read by the flight controller and it will distinguish where that command is for, if for the GPS, Camera gimbal or Electronic Speed Controller. If the command is for the DC motors the flight controller will send the command to the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) to regulate the speed of the motors to make it move sideways, forward, backward and turn. If the command is for the Camera gimbal the APM will send it to Camera Gimbal that will make it to tilt and be balanced. The GPS feeds information, like coordinates and more to the APM flight controller.
