We are Belinda and Terry Kilby. We are drone enthusiasts, aerial photographers, makers, trainers, and a husbandwife team. By combining lives, we also combined our strengths and passions for technology and art. Since 2010, we have been designing and building small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for artistic and practical aerial photography through our company, Elevated Element. As early adopters, we became the unofficial spokespeople for UAV technology for the media in our region. We keep up with the advancements in hardware, software, and drone news stories, so we can represent drone builders and users in an artistic and innovative light.
In the fall of 2013, we released Drone Art: Baltimore, the first photo book shot entirely using small, custom-built UAVs. The introduction describes how we got started and how our equipment and work evolved. The images are presented in chronological order to show progression in quality, as we came to understand how to build, fly, and take photographs with these drones. The book launch, which we arranged through Baltimores Office of Promotions and the Arts, was held at an exhibition at the Baltimore World Trade Center, on the observation deck called Top of the World. The location was perfect, because the perspective looking out of the windows from the 27th floor was much like the subject matter seen in our work: the birds-eye view.
Our objective for this book is to give you that same working knowledge of aerial robotics, by showing you how to build a Little Dipper 300-class autonomous quadcopter as an example. By reading and following the steps and advice contained in this book, youll learn how quadcopters work and how to solve some of the engineering challenges a quadcopter presents. Where applicable, we will also suggest alternative options you can try, or comparable parts to suit your own preferences. Whether you choose to build a quadcopter or an octocopter, the same concepts will apply.
The Little Dipper design is open source, and the design files can be downloaded from http://gettingstartedwithdrones.com/little-dipper-build/. Alternatively, you can order a complete Little Dipper kit, with all the hardware, from www.MakerShed.com.
And dont worry about failure. Everyone makes mistakes. Its only important that we continue to try, do, and make. Aerial robotics is a hands-on experience, in which you solve real-world problems through trial and error, and ultimately, hard-won wisdom. The smallest difference in weight distribution or speed can mean success or disaster.
Each chapter of this book is designed to cover a specific portion of the overall technology of unmanned aircraft. One chapter covers the intricacies of different airframe types, while another dives into how the Global Positioning System (GPS) is used to assist flight. We made a conscious effort to touch on as many topics as we could, but keep in mind that this is a Getting Started with book, not the be-all-and-end-all encyclopedia of UAVs. If you are a newcomer to this technology, there will be plenty of meat here for you to chew on. If you are already familiar with drones, we are sure there will still be some important nuggets of info that you can add to your knowledge base.
Once you get past , you should start to see an important pattern emerge: most chapters are broken down into a section for background and theory followed by step-by-step instructions for our build example. No matter if you are building the same aircraft we show throughout the book, the theory portion of each chapter will apply to almost any type of dronefrom a small 250-class quadcopter to a huge 1,000-class octocopter. If you are not following along with our demo build, feel free to skip over the build instructions and consume as much of the theory as you can.
Whether you are a seasoned drone pilot or just getting into the hobby, we think that everyone can benefit from the theory portions of each chapter. We do recommend that you read each of them. If you are also following along with the example build, feel free to either build as you go or read through all the theory first before finally coming back and starting on the build. A thorough understanding of the technology involved can only help you when it comes time to build your aircraft.
