Spacecraft attitude magnetic controllerfaraagahmad
The attitude control problem of the satellite involves angular
velocity suppression, attitude acquisition and finally attitude stabilization will
be solved by magnetic actuator only. A comparison between the commonly
used controllers for satellite attitude control is presented. The comparison
parameters are the total consumed power, the time required to accomplish the
angular velocity suppression and attitude acquisition, calculation time of the
control algorithm and steady state error in angles and angular velocity. The
simulation is done using the complete non linear model of satellite. Based on
results, a new combined control algorithm was developed to assemble the
advantages of these commonly used controllers. Simulation results showed the
validity of the developed combined algorithm
QUADCOPTER
The goal of presentation was to acquaint you to a semi-autonomous quadcopter capable of self-sustained flight via wireless communications while utilizing a microcontroller. The quadcopter was designed to be small enough so that costs would be minimized. which is why small motors and propellers are being used. While a PIC microcontroller, accelerometer, and gyroscope are communicating between each other to maintain control.
The scheduler program arranges the following tasks: controller input, sensor data received from the accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Magnetometer. The wireless transceivers use SPI to send control signals to the microcontroller on the quadcopter from the handheld controller unit. The accelerometer/gyroscope and magnetometer both use I2C to send the amount of acceleration, stabilization, and the direction vector. The motors are being controlled by the PWM ports on the PIC microcontroller. To achieve flight, two of the motors must apply downward force and the other two motors have to apply an upward force. To turn, one pair (left or right side) of motors slows down to turn the copter. To ascend, all motors will increase in speed, and will all decrease in order to descend. To move forward, the front two motors will decrease while the back two motors will increase. And vice versa in order to move in a backwards direction. We are also working on integrating our own Graphical User Interface (GUI) which will allow us to have direct control over all systems.

Quadcopter (from Quad “four” and Copter “helicopter”) is an aerial robot combining a simple propeller mechanism with powerful electronics for limitless real-world applications. It is an embedded system comprising of microcontrollers, sensors, flight gear and other integrated components. Quadcopter is a multi-rotor air vehicle which has marked its interests for the benefit of both civil and military domains. It's amazing manoeuvrability and the ease to fly in constricted locations has achieved itself a remarkable position in the aviation sector.
: The main objective of this paper is the systematic description of the current research and
development of small or miniature unmanned aerial vehicles and micro aerial vehicles, with a focus on
rotary wing vehicles. In recent times, unmanned/Micro aerial vehicles have been operated across the
world; they have also been the subject of considerable research. In particular, UAVs/MAVs with rotary
wings have been expected to perform various tasks such as monitoring at fixed points and surveillance
from the sky since they can perform not only perform static flights by hovering but also achieve vertical
takeoffs and landing. Helicopters have been used for personnel transport, carrying goods, spreading
information, and performing monitoring duties for long periods. A manned helicopter has to be used for
all these duties. On the other hand, unmanned helicopters that can be operated by radio control have
been developed as a hobby. Since unmanned helicopters are often superior to manned helicopters in
terms of cost and safety, in recent years, accomplishing tasks using unmanned helicopters has become
popular. Considerable expertise is required to operate unmanned helicopters by radio control, and
hence, vast labor resources are employed to train operators. Moreover, it is impossible to operate
unmanned helicopters outside visual areas because of lack of radio control, and the working area is
hence limited remarkably. For solving the above problems, it is necessary to realize autonomous
control of unmanned helicopters. However, no general method for designing the small unmanned
helicopters has been developed yet – today, various design techniques by different study groups using
different helicopters exist. In this paper the conceptual design process is explained.
UNMANNED SURFACE VEHICLE (USV) FOR COASTAL SURVEILLANCEIAEME Publication
The purpose of this paper is to design and fabricate an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) for the coastal surveillance for the maritime of India. It aims to monitor territorial waters on a round-the-clock basis and allows the intelligence to take appropriate action to prevent terrorism, illegal smuggling and human trafficking as the continuous use of an aircraft for surveillance is prohibitively expensive along the Indian coastline which is a massive stretch measuring 7,517km.In this paper an Air Cushioned Vehicle (ACV) popularly known as a Hovercraft is chosen for surveillance as it has the ability to traverse any surface compared to other coastguard vessels thereby earning the title of amphibious boats. Its ability to access 75% of littoral allows them to come on shore during emergencies unlike conventional coastguards that have only 5% littoral access and cannot enter shallow water.
Design,Construction And Structure Analysis Of Twinrotor UAVijics
There have been many advancements in the field of aerospace and avionics. Scientists have increasingly
started to focus on VTOL (vertical take - off and landing) aircrafts. We have built a miniature VTOL
twinrotor UAV. UAVs have begun to grab a lot of attention these days due to its numerous applications
such as surveillance and relief. Twinrotor is a kind of a helicopter having two main propellers instead of
one and no tail fin. All three important motion of the aircraft i.e. roll, pitch, yaw are controlled by thrust
vectoring using servo motors and changing the magnitude of thrust using electronics speed controllers. The
paper deals with the design of a basic UAV based on application and the construction keeping in mind the
different concepts that govern its motion.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

parts, testing those parts, designing the final product. Experimental results show the improvements of the stability of
Quadcopter. Our news and features will cover developments in quadcopter technologies, innovative uses for quadcopter and
how quadcopter use will impact society.
Keywords: Quadcopter, balancing, drone, multi-rotor
I. INTRODUCTION
Drone stands for Dynamic Remotely Operated Navigation
Equipment. A Drone, also called a Quadcopter, is a
multirotor helicopter that is lifted and propelled by four
rotors. Most of helicopters, Quadcopters use two sets of
identical fixed pitched propellers; two clockwise (CW) and
two counter-clockwise (CCW). These use variation of RPM
to control lift and torque. Control of vehicle motion is
achieved by altering the rotation rate of one or more rotor
discs, thereby changing its torque load and thrust/lift
characteristics by using a microcontroller. A Quadcopter is a
helicopter with four rotors, so it‟s also known as quadrotor.
Because of its unique design comparing to traditional
helicopters, it allows a more stable platform, making
Quadcopters ideal for tasks such as surveillance and aerial
photography. And it is also getting very popular in UAV
research in recent years.
Quadcopter, also called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs),
have no human pilot onboard, and instead are either
controlled by a person on the ground or autonomously via a
computer program. These stealth craft are becoming
increasingly popular, not just for war and military purposes,
but also for everything from wildlife and atmospheric
research to disaster relief and sports photography. Drones
are becoming the eyes and ears of scientists by surveying the
ground for archaeological sites, signs of illegal hunting and
crop damage, and even zipping inside hurricanes to study the
wild storms.You can even rent a personal drone to soar
above the horizon and snap a photo or video. Our news and
features will cover developments in drone technologies,
innovative uses for drones and how drone use will impact
society.
Quadcopters are classified as rotorcraft, as opposed to fixed-
wing aircraft, because their lift is generated by a set of
revolving narrow-chord airfoils. Unlike most helicopters,
Quadcopters generally use symmetrically pitched blades;
these can be adjusted as a group, a property known as
'collective', but not individually based upon the blade's
position in the rotor disc, which is called 'cyclic'
(see helicopter). Control of vehicle motion is achieved by
altering the pitch and/or rotation rate of one or more rotor
discs, thereby changing its torque load and thrust/lift
characteristics.
To plan and build a Quadcopter there is a lot of terms you
need to understand. To give you a better understanding of
what a Quadcopter contains I will now go through some of
the parts it contains.
II. LITERATURE
Review Stage Many research have been made on quadrotor
by worldwide researchers.
The website of abc NEWS posted an article by Rheana
Murray on 8th August 2014,headlined, “How Drones will
Replace Humans in the Workplace” to which Mary
Cummings, a drones expert who teaches at MIT and Duke
University says, “Maybe if you are a cargo pilot for FedEx
or UPS, drones will augment the delivery world and one
could argue that they would be much more environmentally
friendly since they could take cars off the road for last mile
delivery and help reduce congestion.” She further adds,
“Jobs like delivery for which cargo planes are used currently

and crop dusting should be turned over to drones
immediately. Crop dusting is the most dangerous job in
general aviation with a high accident rate. Drones can not
only do that job better, but much safer. This will happen in
the next 10 to 20 years. Ultimately, drones will create more
jobs than they replace, they will save lives, and they will
give us capabilities we only dream about – like everyone
owning our own flying cars.”
In a website known as www.farmingdrones.com, an article
headlined “Farming Takes Flight Drones save IL Farmers
Time and Money was posted. It explains how drones are
used in agriculture to give a crystal clear view of their fields.
Dennis Bowman, a crop sciences educator with the
University of Illinois Extension, is using two drones to take
aerial snapshots of crops in the research plots on the
university‟s South Farms. He says,“It offers a quick and easy
way to check on the plants” progress and determine if they
need more attention. It does allow the opportunity to get an
overall survey of the area and make a better use of your
time, rather than just walking out blindly into a field of corn
that‟s taller than your head, and hoping that you stumble
across any of the problem areas that might be out there.
People think about drones and a lot of times, the negative
connotations come to mind, privacy issues and those kinds
of things. But in the agricultural community, we are out in
the middle of nowhere most of the time,flying them over
fields of crops”. He further says that the agriculture industry
is expected to be one of the largest markets for drone usage.
The practical use of a quad copter was cited in New Zealand
to examine the front of the Roman Catholic Cathedral in
Christ church that was damaged in the 22 February, 2011
earthquake.
III. METHODOLOGY
3.1 PRINCIPLE OF QUADCOPTER
Quadcopter is a device with an intense mixture of
Electronics, Mechanical and mainly on the principle of
Aviation.
As stated it Sir Cayley to maintain a plane in flight, These 4
principal forces operating the plane in flight are schematized
on the figure below.
Two of these forces are generated by the relative movement
of the air compared to the plane. The first one is the lift. This
force is directed upwards and is acting perpendicular to the
displacement of the plane. It is thanks to this force that the
plane is maintained in the air. The second is the drag. It is
exerted in the direction opposed to the displacement of the
plane. It is due to the breaking action of the air on the plane
and is opposed to the advance of the plane. The lift and the
drag are called aerodynamic forces because they are
resulting from the action of the air due to the displacement
of the airplane.
The force due to gravity, the weight of the plane, is opposed
to the lift. The balance of the lift and the weight leads to the
fact that the plane is maintained at constant altitude. To
ensure that the plane continues to move forward, it is
necessary to provide a force that compensates for the force
called drag. This force is called the thrust. The thrust is
generated by the system of propulsion of the planes, the
engines. In the case ofthe flight at cruising speed, the role of
the engine is thus to compensate for the force of drag, but
not to make the plane climb. On the other hand, at the time
of takeoff, the engine power will be used to bring the plane
to the altitude of flight.
To keep the plane in flight at constant altitude, a force of lift
must balance the force due to gravity (weight of the plane).
FIG: Forces acting on a flying plan
On the other hand, at the time of takeoff, the engine power
will be used to bring the plane to the altitude of flight. To
keep the plane in flight at constant altitude, a force of lift
must balance the force due to gravity (weight of the plane).
3.2 CONSTRUCTION
Quadrotor consisting of a main body having four arms
centrally connected to each other and four DC brushless
motor attached to each free end of arm. Quadrotor consists
of four rotor/propeller attached to each motor shaft. Four
rotors with fixed angles represent fixed pitch to generate
equivalent force at each end to lift the body and payload. All
DC brushless motors are attached to electronic speed
controller to control speed of each individual motor. Four
electronic speed controllers connected with each other by
parallel connection in to power distribution board. A battery
is used as power source. The rotation of propeller is
controlled by remote controller (RC).
3.3 THEORY
All DC brushless motor attached by parallel connection with
other motors. Power distributed to power distribution board
from battery. Further the power distributes equally to four
electronic speed controllers and then goes in to each DC
brushless motors. Accelerometers will measure the angle of
Quadrotor in terms of X, Y and Z axis and accordingly
adjust the RPM of each motor in order to self stabilize by it-

self. The stability is provided by setting the direction of
rotation clockwise of one set of opposite motors and
counter-clockwise of other set of motors which nullifies the
net moment and gyroscopic effects.
3.4 Quadcopter Movement Mechanism
Quadcopter can described as a small vehicle with four
propellers attached to rotor located at the cross frame. This
aim for fixed pitch rotors are used to control the vehicle
motion. The speeds of these four rotors are independent. By
independent, pitch, roll and yaw attitude of the vehicle can
be control easily. Pitch, roll and yaw attitude off Quadcopter
are shown in Figure
Yaw Motion (ψ): Rotation around the vertical axis is
called Yaw.The Rudder controls Yaw (Left and Right).
Pitch Motion (ө):Rotation around the side-to-side axis is
called Pitch i.e. Moving Upside and Downside
about horizontal axis. The Elevator controls the Pitch.
Roll Motion (Ф): Rotation around the front-to-back axis is
called Roll i.e. Tilting about the axis.The Ailerons controls
Roll axis (Left and Right).
Take-off and landing motion mechanism
Take-off is movement of Quadcopter that lift up from
ground to hover position andlanding position is versa of
take-off position. Take-off (landing) motion is control
byincreasing (decreasing) speed of four rotors
simultaneously which means changing thevertical motion.
Forward and backward motion
Forward (backward) motion is control by increasing
(decreasing) speed of rear (front)rotor. Decreasing
(increasing) rear (front) rotor speed simultaneously will
affect thepitch angle of the Quadcopter.
Left and right motion
For left and right motion, it can control by changing the yaw
angle of Quadcopter. Yaw angle can control by increasing
(decreasing) counter-clockwise rotors speed whiledecreasing
(increasing) clockwise rotor speed.
Hovering or static position
The hovering or static position of Quadcopter is done by two
pairs of rotors are rotatingin clockwise and counter-
clockwise respectively with same speed. By two
rotorsrotating in clockwise and counter-clockwise position,
the total sum of reaction torque iszero and this allowed
Quadcopter in hovering position.
3.5 COMPONENTS
Flight Controller
The flight control board is the „brain‟ of the Quadcopter. It
houses the sensors such as gyroscopes and accelerometers
that determine how fast each of the Quadcopter‟s motors
spin. Flight control boards range from simple to highly
complex. This Flight controller KK 2.1.5 is the latest one
and program is pre-installed in it.
The flight control board is regarded as the “brain” of the
Quadcopter. Flight control boards range from simple to
highly complex.
DC Brushless Motor:This is a high power motor with
excellent efficiency. Motors are rated by kilovolts, and the
higher the kV rating, the faster the motor spins at a constant
voltage. The purpose of motors is to spin the propellers.
Brushless DC motors provide the necessary thrust to propel
the craft. We use 1000 KV motors.
Propellers
We are using two types of propeller Pushers and Pullers:
Pushers:Pushers give thrust when they are rotated in
clockwise direction.
Pullers: Pullers give thrust when they are rotated in anti-
clockwise direction.
The propellers come in different diameters and pitches
(tilting effect). The larger diameter and pitch is, the more
thrust the propeller can generate. It also requires more power
to drive it, but it will be able to lift more weight. When using
high RPM (Revolutions per minute) motors, the smaller or
mid-sized propellers.
When using low RPM motors the larger propellers can be
used asthere could be trouble with the small ones not being
able to lift the Quadcopter atlow speed. The size of
propellers given as 10*4.5.
Electronic Speed Controller (ESC): The electronic speed
controller controls the speed of the motor or tells the motors
how fast to spin at a given time. For a quadcopter, 4 ESCs
are needed, one connected to each motor. The ESCs are then
connected directly to the battery through either a wiring
harness or power distribution board.
Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) is an electronic circuit to
vary the speed, direction and possible to act as a dynamic
brake, of abrushless Motor. The maximum current flowing
in the ESC is in between the range 30-40 ampere.

Battery (LiPo): Lithium polymer batteries (LiPo) are most
popular for powering remote control aircraft due to its light
weight, energy density, longer run times and ability to be
recharged. We selected zippy 4000mah, 11.1 V, 3 cell, 20 C
battery.
Transmitter & Receiver
This transmitter can be used on any of your planes and with
a LCD display screen you can now program the radio at the
field and no more to carry your laptop to the field to change
any setting. The RCB6i has all the features and more than
any high end radio but at a fraction of cost.
Some of the unique features of this radio are
● Interchangeable from mode 1 to mode 2 with the use of a
Slider at the back of the radio

3.7 Introduction of Data Recorded
Cutting and filing the hollow aluminium rods(Booms).
Balancing the Parts of Quadcopter Frame: Balanced the four
aluminum rods and landing gears, its sizes and most
important of all about is the weight of this aluminium rods
we have balanced it and kept all 4 rods weight 68 gm.
• Length of rod = 20 cm each
• Length of landing gears = 9.3 cm each

IV. RESULT & ANALYSIS
How to select Esc (Electronic Speed Controller)
According to battery Specification = 4000mah
For the proper selection of Esc we must know the capacity
of battery in mah and how much it’s C rating. C rating
means maximum safe charging
Since in our specification, theC rating is 20C
Therefore, 20C = 20 * 4 = 80 A
So its maximum safe current flow is 80 A. If current flow in
Esc is more than 80 A then motor will be blasted.
So we analysis that the Esc should be less than 80 ampere
and we select our Esc is 30 – 40 A.
How to select frame size
For selecting the size of frame, it is necessary that the size
of the propeller should be known.
Propeller size is given by the formula,
= n×m
Where,
n = Diameter of propeller in inches
m = Pitch of propeller in inch
i.e. Pitch is how many moves in one rotation
Since our propeller size is 10×4.5, so the diameter is 10
i.e. radius is 5
According to the formula given as,
X = 2.R (radius of Propeller)
Figure 3.1 Size selection of frame
X = 2×5 = 10 cm
So we have selected the total length of rod 2×10=20cm as
we have discussed above.
How to Calculate Thrust to weight ratio
Required Thrust per motor = 1200/4 =300 g
(Total Thrust on Quadcopter) = 1200 g
Total weight of the body i.e. Quadcopter=700 g
The condition for lifting i.e. fly of Quadcopter is that the
ratio of total thrust of the body to the total weight of the
body should be minimum 1.5,
As according to our calculation,
Total Thrust/ Total weight = 1200/700 = 1.7
It is right from our analysis result that it is ready to fly the
Quadcopter.
