Homemade Tricopter Overview



This is the tricopter! All the hardware was bought from Home Depot and the Electronics from Hobbyking.com. The KK2 board I mentioned in the video controls the stability of the tricopter and tells it where level is. Let's say a gust of wind hits it unexpectedly from the side. The gyros in the KK2 board will know where level is and will speed up/slow down motors to make up for this outward force. Thanks for watching! P.S. Don't mistaken this for a drone. A drone flies itself, this is controlled by an external transmitter operated by a human.
