Discussion about collected components (all)

frame
- Buy complete frame or 3d-print one? CAD data available online (Rose Hulman Beagle Bone Quadcopter)
- Many libraries for stabilization available online (bachelor topics still okay?)
- estimating 170€ including motors and rotors
positioning
- triangulation
  - - triangulation means no real autonomy
- pulse generators as "checkpoints"
  - possible?
  - how accurate? where to fly
- QUESTION: What shall the quadcopter do?
- accelerometer & gyroscope for positioning
board
- Arduino Due
  - power consumption not available
- Beagle Bone Black
  - Beagle Bone perhaps more extendable in the future
  - power consumption may be too much
- maybe use an existing Arduino to upgrade later
- estimating up to 60€
batteries
- power consumption not available
- two batteries for each, the motor and the microcontroller
- estimating 50€
Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Compass
- estimating 20€
i2cbus
- Beagle Bone Black has three i2cbusse
proximity sensors
- min. 3 ultrasonic sensors, better: 6 depending on costs
- cheap copy from china 2$, quality product 30$
