So seriously, don't tase 70 00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:44,109 me, bro. If I say something 71 00:02:44,110 --> 00:02:45,110 that you don't agree with. 72 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,629 The point of this talk, as I said, is to 73 00:02:49,630 --> 00:02:52,439 introduce you to the fast paced world of 74 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,939 multi copters and give you a brief 75 00:02:54,940 --> 00:02:56,619 view into the hardware and software that 76 00:02:56,620 --> 00:02:58,659 goes into building, configuring and 77 00:02:58,660 --> 00:03:00,849 flying SPV drones. 78 00:03:00,850 --> 00:03:02,979 OK, now with all that out of 79 00:03:02,980 --> 00:03:05,379 the way, let's talk some drones. 80 00:03:07,860 --> 00:03:09,719 So some of you may have the question, 81 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,879 what the hell is F-5? 82 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,249 Well, F5 is an acronym, 83 00:03:14,250 --> 00:03:16,409 which means first person view. 84 00:03:16,410 --> 00:03:18,509 It refers to the technology not so 85 00:03:18,510 --> 00:03:20,939 much the method used in piloting 86 00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:23,189 remote controlled vehicles. 87 00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:25,799 In a nutshell, an SPV controlled vehicle 88 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,569 has a camera mounted on it. 89 00:03:27,570 --> 00:03:29,789 This camera is wired wirelessly 90 00:03:29,790 --> 00:03:32,069 transmits a video signal, 91 00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:34,439 which is received by the pilot and 92 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,449 viewed in a remote monitor. 93 00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:39,239 The pilot controls the vehicle with a 94 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,039 wireless transmitter and can steer the 95 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,229 craft based on real time information 96 00:03:43,230 --> 00:03:45,179 of the video signal. 97 00:03:45,180 --> 00:03:46,439 It's not a line of sight. 98 00:03:47,940 --> 00:03:50,069 OK. This technology 99 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:52,499 can be used and piloting 100 00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:54,239 any variety of vehicles, for example, 101 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,679 airplanes, cars, boats and even 102 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,179 submarines. 103 00:03:57,180 --> 00:03:58,769 Any kind of vehicle you can think of as 104 00:03:58,770 --> 00:04:00,719 long as you can put a camera on it. 105 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,489 However, one of the most common 106 00:04:02,490 --> 00:04:04,499 implementations is in conjunction with 107 00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:05,459 drones. 108 00:04:05,460 --> 00:04:07,229 In more recent years, the term P.V. 109 00:04:07,230 --> 00:04:09,239 refers specifically more and more to 110 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,240 quadcopters. 111 00:04:11,220 --> 00:04:13,469 In other words, it is more commonly 112 00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:15,129 understood that when someone refers to 113 00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:17,259 SPV, they are referring to FP 114 00:04:17,260 --> 00:04:18,509 v drones. 115 00:04:18,510 --> 00:04:20,578 But that said, when I use 116 00:04:20,579 --> 00:04:22,499 the term SPV in the presentation, I will 117 00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,259 be referring to SPV drones, specifically 118 00:04:25,260 --> 00:04:27,389 their components and the discipline 119 00:04:27,390 --> 00:04:28,390 of piloting them. 120 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,659 So in general, the technologies 121 00:04:33,660 --> 00:04:36,149 and disciplines that go into SPV as a 122 00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:38,249 as a whole are immersive and 123 00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:40,229 multifaceted, and we'll get into that. 124 00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:42,419 Here are I will be 125 00:04:42,420 --> 00:04:44,489 showing an incomplete list of some 126 00:04:44,490 --> 00:04:46,259 of the different skills, technologies and 127 00:04:46,260 --> 00:04:48,540 disciplines of SPV, and I'm sure 128 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,659 this audience will at least have one or 129 00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:53,300 two things that they can definitely 130 00:04:54,390 --> 00:04:56,129 that they have experience in. 131 00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:58,290 So one is general electronics. 132 00:04:59,730 --> 00:05:01,379 In the context of SPV, you will be 133 00:05:01,380 --> 00:05:03,359 soldering a lot when building your own 134 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,259 quads. 135 00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:05,939 You will be soldering components, wires 136 00:05:05,940 --> 00:05:06,940 and modules together 137 00:05:08,610 --> 00:05:09,659 as a caveat. 138 00:05:09,660 --> 00:05:10,709 Well, it's not really a caveat. 139 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:13,109 You don't have to have an electrical 140 00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:14,969 engineering degree in order to have fun 141 00:05:14,970 --> 00:05:17,099 and SPV only a very basic 142 00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:18,689 understanding is required. 143 00:05:18,690 --> 00:05:20,489 The amount of immersion in electronics 144 00:05:20,490 --> 00:05:22,469 really depends on your interest. 145 00:05:22,470 --> 00:05:24,629 So in other words, you can delve as 146 00:05:24,630 --> 00:05:26,609 deep as you want into the electronic 147 00:05:26,610 --> 00:05:28,859 aspects of SPV and stay 148 00:05:28,860 --> 00:05:29,860 inside your comfort zone. 149 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,339 Another aspect you can delve 150 00:05:36,340 --> 00:05:38,929 into is radio and wireless technologies, 151 00:05:38,930 --> 00:05:40,749 this is something that interests me as a 152 00:05:40,750 --> 00:05:42,609 ham radio or amateur radio operator. 153 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,449 AP Drones are controlled wires 154 00:05:46,450 --> 00:05:48,519 wirelessly, which means you 155 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,169 can delve into the world of radio 156 00:05:50,170 --> 00:05:52,779 propagation if that floats your boat. 157 00:05:52,780 --> 00:05:55,179 You can get into DIY 158 00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:57,429 antennas, receivers, 159 00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:58,430 transmitters. 160 00:05:59,890 --> 00:06:01,539 There are a lot of people in the 161 00:06:01,540 --> 00:06:02,859 community who make their own antennas, 162 00:06:04,090 --> 00:06:06,069 and as you see here in this video, I 163 00:06:06,070 --> 00:06:08,349 believe it's Joshua Bardwell. 164 00:06:08,350 --> 00:06:11,289 He is analyzing a 165 00:06:11,290 --> 00:06:13,389 5.8 megahertz video 166 00:06:13,390 --> 00:06:15,519 signal and a spectrum analyzer. 167 00:06:19,850 --> 00:06:22,039 Also, you can get into 168 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,059 software. 169 00:06:23,060 --> 00:06:24,469 There's and there's lots of software to 170 00:06:24,470 --> 00:06:26,569 be had in the brains 171 00:06:26,570 --> 00:06:27,799 of these drones are controlled by 172 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,229 software, and I got good news 173 00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:32,509 this software is open source. 174 00:06:32,510 --> 00:06:34,219 This means you can freely download, 175 00:06:34,220 --> 00:06:36,289 modify and prove and share 176 00:06:36,290 --> 00:06:38,329 the source code used in your very own 177 00:06:38,330 --> 00:06:40,189 quads. You can compile your own source 178 00:06:40,190 --> 00:06:42,319 code and flash them to your 179 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,320 drones. 180 00:06:45,310 --> 00:06:47,379 And here, I believe, yes, that 181 00:06:47,380 --> 00:06:49,689 is a video clip where I 182 00:06:49,690 --> 00:06:52,629 am messing with the beta flight 183 00:06:52,630 --> 00:06:53,559 source code. 184 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,749 I was changing some of the strings to say 185 00:06:55,750 --> 00:06:58,989 funny things like Ninja Flip and 186 00:06:58,990 --> 00:06:59,990 things like that. 187 00:07:02,180 --> 00:07:04,729 So and one another discipline is 188 00:07:04,730 --> 00:07:07,099 3D printing, having a 3D printer 189 00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:09,349 is invaluable as an 5-year. 190 00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:11,059 You will find yourself designing various 191 00:07:11,060 --> 00:07:13,459 mounts, skids, camera holders, 192 00:07:13,460 --> 00:07:15,799 antenna mounts, protective shields, 193 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,209 et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et 194 00:07:17,210 --> 00:07:18,210 cetera. 195 00:07:19,550 --> 00:07:21,439 As we all know, the internet is full of 196 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,659 objects freely available and ready to 197 00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:24,660 print. 198 00:07:28,550 --> 00:07:30,679 So what is required in 199 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,779 effigy?
