Drone Assembly, Configuration, and Tuning

In this chapter, we’ll cover multiple aspects of a drone in terms of its hardware. Previously, we studied the theory behind how a drone hovers and moves in the air. We also studied the different components that are required when assembling a drone and the software that is required to fly and configure one. In this chapter, we’ll dive into the fundamental aspects of drone assembly and configuration, offering insights into the intricate components that make up a drone, the tools required for building one, and the software and firmware adjustments necessary to optimize its performance. From selecting the right frame, motors, and flight controllers to calibrating sensors and setting up remote controls, this guide will provide you with the knowledge and guidance needed to embark on your drone-building journey before its maiden flight.

This chapter will help us to understand the end-to-end process of assembling a drone and making...
