UAVP Build

It's a Quadcopter built from an Open Source development, more info here: http://uavp.ch/moin
Although most of the tech and help came from this forum: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=811550

Here's some pictures of how I created it:

The main structure is made from Sign Board, it's very thin alloy with plastic bonded, very light and strong.
It's white so I used vinyl gunmetal and red.

I put O'Rings between the delrin blocks I made to give some damping

The cage I hand made from alloy

Booms from a 450 heli

12amp ESC

Ta Da!

Modified the leg of carbon rod, fitted 5.8Ghz video sender custom built and a Canon SD450 (Ixus 55)

I used a remote camera device for the FlyCamOne (FC02) with the modified CHDK Firmware on the Canon to get remote shutter working through a USB lead, it needs 5v on pins 1 and 4.
All worked well until I connected the video out for the camera, I found that the FC02 switched the ground not the live, the video jack is grounded so when plugging that in triggers the shutter.
I made this simple circuit with an old transistor to change this around.

FC02 plugs onto pins

CHDK Firmware, set to run a simple remote shutter script on auto

5.8Ghz video transmitter made on veroboard

Because of the 2mm pins on the RX unit I had to make my own PCB

Experimenting with antennas at moment.
