The goal of the project is to develop a laser game between flying drones, one of which autonomous and the other remotely controlled.

Components

Arduino

We used the Arduino board nano to manage sensors. They are:

• sharp gp2d12 proximity sensor x4
• mb1240 sonar sensor x2

CRIUS All in one pro v2.0

AIOP is the flight controller board. The firmwire we used is MultiWii.

Frame

Here the page.

O-Droid U2

Is the core of our application. It evaluates all the logic behind the autonomous flight. All other components are connected to O-Droid. Here the O-Droid page for specific information about it.

WiiCam

We built a circuit with the WiiCam to recognize the other drone.
