How To Make a DIY Drone

             TIME TO BUILD A DIY  DRONE 
To build a drone first you need to have the right parts. There is a list below ↙. And for this project you will need to use a soldering iron. Just keep that handy.

Drone Parts                                  
1. Power distribution board                                       
2. Frame
3. Battery and charger
4. 4X    ESC's
5. 4X  Brushless motors
6. 4x  propellers
7. Flight computer
8. transmitter and receiver

Power distribution board distributes power to the whole drone. It takes power from the battery and sends it to every single part of the drone that needs power.

Frame is the body of the drone. Everything is attached to the frame.

Battery is the source of power for the drone. And you will need a charger to charge the battery so the drone can use that power to fly.

ESC is an electronic speed controller. It controls the speed of the rotation of the propellers.  You need four of them because each propeller has to spin in a different direction to maintain balance.

Brushless motors spin the propellers and push the drone upwards.

Flight computer tells the parts of the drone what to do. It gets the information from the receiver and processes it and then sends it to the ESCs and to other parts.

The transmitter is the remote control. It sends information to the receiver that is on-board the drone. And the receiver tells the flight computer what to do.



The build begins 
First, attach the motor to the frame of the drone. Then take the Power distribution board and attach that to the frame in the drone center. Then take the ESC's and solder them to the Power distribution board. On the Power distribution board there will be written ESC 1, ESC  2, ESC  3, and ESC 4. Once you finished the motor will have 3 plugs. Plug in the the motors in to the ESC's then take the flight computer  and solder it to the Power distribution board. Then take the receiver and solder that also to the Power distribute board. Then you are almost ready to fly but first you might have to program the drone but it depends if you buy the parts programmed  or not and before you fly the drone you want the propellers spinning correctly. To make the motor spin a different direction just switch the cables. When you finished programming and got the propellers spinning correctly, then we have liftoff!!!

How to Find Area of a Shape With a Hole

Today I am going to tell you how to find the area of a shape with a hole. To find the area, first we need to find the area of the shape in the middle, or the hole. Next, we need to find the area of the shape with the hole in it. So, like in my other post , where I taught you how to find area and perimeter, we multiply the sides again, and get our area. We find the area of the hole. And then we subtract the area of the hole from the area of the big shape. For example, if the big shape area sides are 8 and 10, then its area will be 80. The same thing with the hole, if one side is 4 and the other side is also 4, then we multiply them and get 16. Then we subtract 80-16 and we get our area, 64.

My First 3D printer

So yesterday was my birthday December 28 and my parents gave me a wall mountable lamp. And my grandparents gave me new 3D printer. The box was massive and really heavy, after I opened it I was very Happy and surprised. My printer was called  MP Inventor 1. My first pr oject was a super cool looking cube. The  image of it will be on the side. And so far a really enjoy the printer.     

Building a Digital Clock

 For Christmas I got a digital clock kit that you had to build. You can put a alarm you can look at the temperature or look  up the time.And I built it with my dad and  I learned how to  use a soldering iron. some pictures↓
