Control Components - Design | Details

Tilt Rotor... The BOP uses both rotor tilt and thrust differentiation methods to control speed and direction of motion. The tilt mechanism consists of a hollow aluminum or carbon fibre shaft to which is attached at one end to a gimbal style brushless motor and at the other end a bearing, in the middle is attached a double motor mounting plate for the axial propset.
Thrust differentiation... Controlled by a flight controller, the thrust differentiation system for motion control is entirely electronic and linked to both gyroscopic sensors and remote control radio system.
Flight controller... Using the industry standard pixhawk or openpilot compatible Cc3d Revolution flight controllers, gyroscopic balance will be maintained through manipulation of both the tilt rotor assembly and the thrust differentiation control systems.
Software... The software needed must be able to accept sensor input (airspeed, heading, gyro, power consumption, compass, gps) and use this information to control motion and accessory activation. Motor activation can be regulated by monitoring the draw on each motor set; draw gets too high, more motors kick in.
