Flybrix kit: Novice DIY drone

When the drone company Flybrix is ​​established, the goal of the three foundersch, Robb Walters, Holly Kasun is to manufacture smarter drones. However, in the process of product development, they found a way to quickly assemble drones. Today, they began to provide DIY kits to help people assemble their own drones. "Our initial goal is to make automatic flying micro-drones, using computer vision and other frontier technology," Kasun said to the Wired website, "In the product development process, we used Lego, the purpose is to build fast The prototype of drone. " They quickly realized that this is a good way to understand the working principle of drone. Now, they are still studying automatic flight technology. At the same time, they also began to provide some toolkits to make it easy to manufacture drones. The toolkit provided by Flybrix has two: $ 150 for the underlying kit and $ 190 luxury kit (luxury package includes an AC controller). At the same time, the company also provides sufficient Lego squares and instructions for manufacturing drones. Kasun said that users only need 15 minutes, so that the drone fly, the instructions on the instructions are basically, and novice understands. "In our view, the advantage of this product is that it involves all aspects of STEM education, providing many learning opportunities," Kasun said. There is magnetometer, pneumometer, accelerometer, etc. in the toolkit, and users can join GPS and Wi-Fi modules themselves. In addition to modular hardware, the company also provides open source control software. Through these software, users can regulate the performance of drones. In addition, future products will also add automatic flight. There are two questions about Flybrix projects: One is whether Lego will tell it to infringement, and the other is whether it has become a real product. In this regard, Kasun said, first, Lego does not call this project, as long as the product name is not "Lego drone", the current product is called "DIY drone kit using Lego." Second, this is already a mature product and has begun to sell. Flybrix has considered funding on Kickstarter, but eventually giving up this idea because they don't want to fall into the "excessive promise, never release" traps. "You will encounter many unknown questions. Even in the end, when you feel that you have already done, you will also encounter a surprising problem. We want to do our best to avoid that situation." Kasun said. Search for "Love Bo.com" to pay attention, daily update development board, intelligent hardware, open source hardware, activities, etc., you can make you master. Recommended attention!
