![]() As current will only flow one way through an LED you'll find it won't work if one is attached the incorrect way. Make sure that the positive side of the LED (the longer leg) is connected to the positive side of the circuit. Their colour markings go Brown-Black-Brown and then Gold at the end. They then need soldering together with four green 5mm LEDs and two 100 Ohms resistors. You now need the following wires which will connect along with the LED's and resistors to create the two strings of Green LEDs: Ensure that when you flip the base over and view it from the front, the decimal places are on the bottom of the display - if not then you're about to insert upside down! Use a little on each corner of the board and then insert from the underside of the base. You can also glue the seven segment display in place, this is also done with the trusty old hot melt glue gun. I chose to print mine in bright yellow to contrast with the black whilst also making it easier to see from your drones camera when you try to land on it.You attach this with some more hot melt glue. You need to solder them on in the order shown here: They will be soldered to the rear side of the display on the points indicated below: You'll need to expose a bit more of one end of each wire as one end will be soldered to the display whilst the other will be pushed directly into the headers of the Arduino to cut down on the amount of soldering required. Now you need 5 wires, one of each colour cut to 19cm in length. At the same time, we can glue in place the battery holder. Once this is done you can glue it in place using some hot melt glue. You will need to solder these on in the opposite direction then you would normally (take a look at the image above to see what I mean). If you can use the same colours then you will find it much easier to follow along - but you can still build one with just a single colour of wire.įirst cut one length of red at 7cm long and a 5cm length in yellow, blue and green. I'm using five colours of wire during this build, Black, Green, Red, Yellow and Blue. I printed mine in black to match the colour of the ultrasonic sensor. You'll need to start by printing the main base. You can download the 3D cad parts from Thingiverse. It can be printed and assembled over a couple of day including the required printing time.Here is a video guide explaining how to assemble the project. You can either try to improve your personal best or challenge a friend to do better than you (if you trust them with your drone that is). When you return your lap time is displayed to you. When a drone departs the Arduino starts a timer. This drone landing pad features an integrated ultrasonic sensor that detects a drones presence. I've recently acquired a small drone and wanted a way of timing my laps - this is the resulting project. I've been growing more and more interested in the idea of First Person Video (FPV) drone racing.
