Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

This project aims for students to research, design, and develop an integrated quadcopter system, encompassing both the drone and its remote controller. The objective is to apply electronics engineering principles to create a reliable quadcopter platform that demonstrates effective communication and EMI mitigation. By the end of the project, students will have learned critical aspects of PCB design, EMI mitigation techniques, and communication protocols, showcasing their ability to overcome challenges related to electronic systems interference.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

Electronics Engineering Foundation

  • Objective: To understand the foundational electronics engineering principles required for quadcopter system development.
  • Deliverable: A report on the principles of electronics engineering relevant to the project.
  • Filename for Deliverable: Electronics_Engineering_Foundations_DD_MM_YYYY.

PCB Design and Development

  • Objective: To design PCBs for the quadcopter's flight controller and remote controller using appropriate software and techniques.
  • Deliverable: PCB designs, schematics, and layout files.
  • Filename for Deliverable: PCB_Designs_DD_MM_YYYY.

EMI Mitigation Strategies

  • Objective: To understand and apply EMI mitigation techniques to ensure the reliability of the quadcopter's electronics.
  • Deliverable: An EMI mitigation strategy report including testing and compliance documentation.
  • Filename for Deliverable: EMI_Mitigation_Strategies_DD_MM_YYYY.

Communication Protocol Analysis

  • Objective: To study and select appropriate communication protocols for drone-to-controller communication.
  • Deliverable: A comparative analysis of potential communication protocols and final implementation documentation.
  • Filename for Deliverable: Communication_Protocol_Analysis_DD_MM_YYYY.
