Rapid prototyping equipment, such as 3D printers and laser cutters, have become increasingly more common in the past few years, but few quality solutions exist that can serve both purposes at a low cost. A decent hobby laser cutter may cost thousands of dollars. Even few sub-$1000 3D printers are both durable and capable of […]

Through my research at the Marshall Space Flight Center and continued development as part of my undergraduate honors thesis, I have chosen to publish my PX4 Development Kit for Simulink. This toolkit includes a configurable dynamic model for a wide range of multicopter configurations, as well as a more complex position control system using a Kalman […]
Through my research at the Marshall Space Flight Center and continued development as part of my undergraduate honors thesis, I have chosen to publish what I call the APM Multicopter Development Kit for Simulink. This toolkit includes a configurable dynamic model for a wide range of multicopter configurations, as well as a simple PID attitude […]
I often get asked many of the same questions from individuals seeking to build their first multicopter; therefore, I thought that it would be a great resource to offer a manual that accounts for the very basics of multicopters and remote control equipment. Here I will host the manual and keep it updated with the […]
