a RC(kinda) airplane that uses a BLDC motor with 2 ESP32’s one as a flight controller and the other one as the receiver
Hello! Great work with this project, however, you need to follow the following file structure: https://stardance.hackclub.com/resources/shipping-hardware
In addition, you are also missing the hardware aspect for your project! If you are wiring, make a schematic, but I would recommend using a PCB in most cases if you can! :D
Once you make these changes, we will take another look, and if everything is good, we will approve! :D
Hi there! This is looking good but we have a few things before we can approve:
Please attempt a full CAD model! Not just wings. I want to see where electronics go, the full shape, everything. That way we can actually know what you are building and potentially recreate it! That's the whole point of open source - others being able to build it.
Please optimize your BOM by using Aliexpress instead of Amazon! It will save a lot of money.
Your repository needs a CAD, code, and production folder. The CAD folder should hold the step files, the code folder should hold the code, and the production folder should hold the code and stl files. Additionally, it seems that you didn't format your BOM correctly. It should be a .csv, not .CSV. They should be values separated by commas. Fix the format and convert it to a dropdown as well, to put in your README. Your project's idea is super cool, though! Finish it up and reship for funding (:
Hiya, nice idea! Please polish your README, this is a great guide: https://stardance.hackclub.com/resources/great_readme and make sure to have the correct folder structure and upload your 3d models as .step files before submitting. Here's a guide on that: https://stardance.hackclub.com/resources/shipping-hardware
Additionally, regarding your BOM, we don't fund 3D printers, but you can get your model printed by other hackclubbers in #printing-legion, which we fund! Please be more specific with the other items in your BOM, cite individual links, prices, and justifications per component! Thanks!
Today I created a assembly on fusion to show to a college later. Im requesting that they 3D print a part for me. I also fixed some measurement issues and made the parts more simple.
Today, I made a fusion assembly of the 3 parts needed for a wing structure for my aircraft. I also sent out Emails to 2 local colleges (Saint Louis University and Washington University) If they would 3D print these parts for me because i do not have a 3D printer. I also attempted for a 72nd time to get my BLDC motor to work with my ESC and Arduino Uno. I also ran a couple more servo tests with my ESP32 that will be inside of the Airframe. When I am able to get the BLDC Motor working, I will connect it to the ESP32 and integrate it into my Servo testing code so that I can run everything with the ESP32. Below is the code that is uploaded to my Arduino to run the motor. I have the ESC speed pin connected to Pin 9, and I have the ground and 5V pins plugged into the Arduino with the Lipo battery connected to the ESC. It has not worked and if you have any advice please help me! Thank you
Here is a image of the Airframe with the addition of another servo to control Yaw. Please ignore the mess on my desk lol!!
