This project was started in November 2008. The goal was to learn something about programming, electronics and control loops. Because I always need a cool project to learn new things, it was clear that something that can fly had to be built.
The project started as a "tricopter-only" project, but as I wanted to build smaller vehicles with more payload capacity, I decided to make some quadrotor, hexacopter and Y6 hexacopter firmwares too. My main interest is to build very small MAVs that fly as good as larger ones (or even better) and that can be controlled by wireless video link. I also experimented with autonomous flight in GPS-denied areas (video), and with GPS assisted autonomous hover (video). It would be cool to add more features to this project but I am pretty busy with my PhD research. But maybe one day I could combine my scientific interests with my hobby projects...

GEMïNï - further canopies ...

Still waiting for the motors and ESCs, I was playing around with the canopy design:

  4. Can you share the CAD files of the chassis? I would love to construct one of this.
    Thanks!!!

    1. I won't share the files in the very near future, because the copter might soon be available in the shop of a friend...
