Mechanical, electrical, and software package for a custom quadcopter drone.
Mechanical
Designed using Fusion 360 and 3D printed on a Prusa MK3 printer.
Electrical
Custom PCBs designed in KiCad for the brain, power distribution, and signal indication.
- Flight Controller
- Power Distribution Board
- Lights
Software
C++ and custom libraries for controlling and stabilizing the UAV. Compiled with PlatformIO.
Future Ideas
Electrical
- Design ESCs
- 3.3 V flight controller (8 MHz suffcient?)
- Polyfuses on outputs
- PDB also ESC (active cooling?) - Have regulated outputs
- PDB is part of frame (1 Oz copper)
- More powerful chip - RPi / STM32 / 2560 - Internet connection?
Software
- Test the crystal: How much time are we loosing? Try different caps.

Questions
How big is the Power PCB?
It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Power use?
12 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Power KiCad files?
From the MarkSherstan/Drone repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCBs/Power/Power.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Power design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
