Fixed Wiring schematic and Updated readme.md and BOM

  • Fixed the outdated wiring schematic with some of the new parts and replaced the non-specific ones with specific parts
  • Simplified and cleaned up the README.md
  • Fixed the links in BOM.CSV to not be the incorrect copied hyperlinks from the google sheet
  • Added a BOM.MD with clickable links

Hello! There are a few changes that need to be made:

- Please create the drone body by yourself! In the lapse, you simply took an online 3d model of the drone body, meaning that the CAD isn't your work.

- You didn't upload the schematic.. Please upload the schematic to the repo.

- Your ReadMe comes out as 50% AI-Generated in an AI detector - Please write the ReadMe yourself. We have a 30% threshold.

- Some of the buying links in your BOM don't work - you have parts with buying links, such as https://www.aliexpress.us/item and https://www.amazon.com/Acxico-Lithium (Not a real link)

- We do NOT fund the controller that you are saying is $3700. I would recommend that you make the controller yourself.

- You mention that you own some of the parts that are needed for this project - Can you mention those parts in the BOM?

Once you make corrections to these concerns, we will take another look, and if everything is good, we will approve!

Set up a working drone simulator connected to ArduPilot for testing and showcasing.

  • Initially tried using Gabezo Harmonic but decided not to as it was not working very well
  • Switched to NVIDIA Omniverse IssacSim + Pegasus simulator for Ardupilot
  • Had to change versions 4 different times as Pegasus was not compatible with many
  • Downgraded NVIDIA driver for compatibility
  • Imported drone frame as baseline
  • Tested with Iris drone
