Hardware designs for first-generation HovAR image-projecting AR drone. NOTE: This page is currently a WIP, and contains incomplete information. Please star this repo, and check back in a few days.
Here's what you'll need to build your own HovAR MK1.
All of the CAD files can be found in the /CAD directory. Workable versions of the parts are in the /step sub-directory, and .stl files are in the /stl sub-directory. All .stl files are in mm, and should play nice with most CAM software and slicers. Warning: The .stp files may use different units, so be cautious if you're trying to edit a part. We'll try to fix this in an upcoming rebuild.
Here's what we used to build the MK1.
- 1 x M3x20 Screws & Locknuts Pack
- 1 x KK2 Flight Control Board
- 1 x 4s Turnigy 3000mAh LiPo Battery
- 1 x Mini Projector
- 1 x Raspberry Pi 3 B;
- 1 x micro-SD Card (We used a 16GB card)
- 1 x HDMI to Mini-HDMI Cable (to connect the Pi to the Projector)
- 1 x Battery Strap
- 1 x Power Breakout Cable
- 1 x External Battery w/ Cable (Although we used this to power the Pi in our original design,
we'd recommend using a power distribution board and running everything off of the main LiPo batteryinstead to simplify to a central power source. See the optional parts section for recommendations.) - 1 x 4-Piece Propeller Set
- 1 x Digital Servo
- 3 x DT750 Brushless Motors
- 3 x F20A Motor Controllers
Since the original build, we've made some optional adjustments to the designs to experiment and address issues we've found. The following are optional parts that should still fit well into the MK1 build. We'll list the differences between the substitute part and the original. Note: These parts are merely recommendations, and may not have been tested on an actual build
Put things together Some engineering and stuff You made a cool drone!
Whoo! You've completed your HovAR drone! Head on over to our code repository to get the latest libraries and learn how to start working with the drone and start programming applications.
